Got a yes for my DD. Still in shock! The email was about an hour ago so they may be doing them all at the same/similar times. 

 

Sorry for the no's, but as I kept telling my DD it will soon be time to apply for next year already! 

Amazing! Have you been told when the start date is? Just interested as I guess term would have started by now pre-COVID? Aw now the wait for group 2 😬

Group 1! they watched them mid september then nothing until monday! 

😭 looks like we'll have a little longer to wait!  A second viewing sounds promising though - good luck!

wish i was a bit more technical with computers, when it had only been viewed once it was easy to easy which bits they'd watched but now it looks like a heart monitor trace with so many ups and downs i cant tell what they would have re-watched yesterday! hopefully not the bits where i was flagging to her that she was about to jump back into the sofa 🤣

Which group are you?  If your group one then thinking group 2 not going to be out for ages!  My DD is group 2 and her first video was watched for 8 mins, second 4 and third 3 minutes.  Think they are skipping through the instructions parts I guess so will look haphazard!

We are grp 2 and our video was watched on Tuesday, 12 minutes of it - I uploaded it as a whole rather than 3 sections. DD didn't show her full potential on the day however so I'm not expecting a yes this time. 

 

In the email they said expect to hear approx 4 weeks after the closing date, so would be mid October if they manage to get through them. 

They may have just skipped to the parts they are interested in?  There was a lot of standing and listening to instructions also. I am not sure they could watch every candidates 30 min video in full and get through them all? We are group 2 too, good luck!

i noticed my daughters videos had higher viewings at certain points in each video, i think they must have skipped to bits they particularly wanted to see? could you analyse and see which bits they had watched of each one? x

I think you’re right. There was a lot of standing and listening to instructions.... my DD videos were watched for different lengths of time

My DD videos have been finally, group 2 - we sent our in in the last few days  before deadline🤞

Hello, my daughter has Auditioned for year 5 Manchester. I think she was group 2! 

She applied last year and didn't get in so we're not hopeful for this year 🤣 we applied as it's great experience but obviously this year its been online 😢

 

Good Luck to you all! 

Good luck too, fingers crossed!

Hi - I downloaded the you tube studio app to check the analytics and it confirms that all the views are mine! 🤣 so still waiting for a view.  Any group 2 videos been watched?  I did send ours in a few days before the deadline...

I will take a look at the app.  Its a tense wait.  I had my 3 year old run in screaming half way throught the second video and me quickly scooping her up in my pjs!  😳 DD kept her cool though, Im sure whoever watches it will have a chuckle!

You can see how many views your video’s have had when you open up YouTube and click on your account into the video tab. If you click on each video, your number count goes up. I have got all three at the same number of views by clicking into them myself so I know now, when that number changes, it will have been viewed by them as they are the only ones with access to it via link (as long as I dont click on the videos again). There is the YouTube analytics app which shows you also). There is also something about subscribers. I think that will change once viewed by someone other than myself? Although that is only my guess 👍🏻

Hi everyone

First time posting on this forum and first time auditioning for my 8 year old DD.  Hoping Manchester! 🙏 

Great thread, I have been checking my DD videos on you tubeto see if they have been viewed but I cant figue out if its been watched or the views are going up because I keep on checking! 😄
