That’s great news. Anyone heard anything about MDS coming avalaible?

Has anyone had any news of movement on the waiting list yet? I was hoping there might be some now all the offers are out 😞

Anyone had any news?

I agree, it would be nice to know but I suppose anything can and does happen so It’s just a case of sitting tight and waiting. I wish we were able to know our child’s position on the waiting list as that would give you an indication of whether to keep hoping or not but like I said anything can happen and I’m a firm believer in what’s meant to be will be!

I got told there were 9 to go across everyone who auditioned 😞

Just wondering if anyone already has a place at either Tring or Hammond but still waiting for Elmhurst/royal?

The waiting to hear about any sort of funding support is killing me 😞 I’ve written to some of the funding suggestions but only had “no” so far. Anyone else having any luck?

Has anyone without a MDS paid the registration fee?

I heard (and only through word of mouth so have no idea if this is true) that they had 9 MDS awards to give this year throughout all the year groups. That doesn’t make me feel very positive about one coming available but will just have to hang tight!

Does anyone know how many people auditioned this weekend? I wonder if that will have any impact on any more funding being released?

I’ve applied for the support fund but I’m not hopeful that they’ll be able to offer enough to enable her to take a place.

Does anyone know how many MDS were awarded? I feel totally gutted that my daughter hasn’t got one and don’t know whether to bother paying the registration fee or not.

If your child received an MDS award could you also say whether they got it straight away or after being on a waiting list pls? Trying to surround myself with positive stories 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I thought it was semis today so that’s good!

I’m thinking it’s a waiting game now for those who didn’t get MDS, does anyone know when finals for Royal and Elmhurst are? As I’m guessing that’ll be when some are handed back?

I rang and got sent a congratulations email straight away! It also says on it that funding hasn’t been decided yet and will be notified separately.

Email yesterday for year 9 entry but nothing in post today 😭

Argh I haven’t had an email saying a letters in the post. You’d think they’d all be sent out on the same day 🙈 Did anyones child audition for year 9 entry?

I know auditions only finished last week but just wondering if anyone had heard anything yet?

Also wondering if anyone got offered a place on the day? I know in previous years people have? Wasn’t sure if they would ask you to wait or how it would work as surely they would offer it with a parent there?

Thanks for this topic! My daughter wants to audition and I am completely clueless. I have tried searching topics but can only find old threads and am hoping for some help! I know that RBS offers means testing fees to all students but what about the others? My daughter has her heart set on Tring but without financial help this won’t be possible- which she knows! Can anyone shed some light pls? I know you can be invited to audition for awards, but what if you don’t get one? Is it then full fees regardless of income?

Has anyone got any experience with it? I don’t know much about it at all!

I completely get all of that. However our first video was only viewed for the first 28 seconds- she hadn’t even moved off the spot by then 😂 I firmly believe everything happens for a reason and she’s so happy at Elmhurst that I don’t think she would have moved anyway but I do wonder about this process. £50 is a lot more money than any other audition we have taken part in, yet this was the only one not conducted via zoom 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just feel really peeved that for £50 my daughters videos were only watched for a few minutes. We always knew there was a nearly zero percent chance of gaining a place and she successfully auditioned for Elmhurst in the summer and loves it there so chances are we would have turned a place down anyway but still really frustrating

I feel a bit annoyed that so little of her videos were viewed. I know they would skip to the bits they needed to see but her first video was only watched for 2 mins, second for 1 and third for 3. I honestly thought they would look at a little more than that. Makes me feel quite so disheartened that they must have not liked what they saw straight away!
