Wend Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi, do they inform you about MDS funding results via mail or phone at the Hammond? Is anyone aware of how many MDS scholarships are awarded there? Thanks and good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can never say really say how many are available either. Good luck everyone waiting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s because all the internal candidates ie those already in yr 11 Elmhurst have the choice of a face to face meeting to get their results and today was the last day of term! I'm sure the other results will be out very soon now - probably tommorow x 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danceintherain Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The postman has been....no Elmhurst LS results! 😩 I guess that will be Monday then, this is killing me! Hammond MDS results arrived though and DD is on the reserve list. She's a year 10 entrant so I'm guessing that's pretty good - or does everyone get put on the reserve list?! 😬 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside H Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 DD is on the reserve list for MDS at Hammond what does that mean?? In the letter it says 13th April is when people have to accept by. All comments appreciated 🙈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wend Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 My DD on reserve list for the MDS at The Hammond too. She’s gutted as we really needed the scholarship (as I guess most do). I’m assuming it will be a no go as everyone offered the MDS will take it and I’ve no idea where on the reserve list she has been placed. Even if we could get 50% off fees with their own bursary, it would still be too much to pay for us and our circumstances. At least she can still gain valuable experience as an Associate there and has learnt a lot just from the audition process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Our post man has been as well and the postal version of the email Elmhurst letter has not come ... I suppose that means they were not ready in time for the post! we have one week to accept so you can expect some movement on waiting lists after a week as I’m sure several students have other offers to consider..... try to distract yourselves for the weekend it sounds like it will be Mondays post at the earliest....sorry to have gotten your hopes up for today! 😬 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All comments appreciated 🙈 I think it means that successful candidates have until that date to accept the scholarship and then they’ll go to the reserve list in order (they score points in the audition so the highest scorer on the reserve list will get selected first should any awards become available due to people not accepting, which I would assume is highly unlikely but I’m new to all this so wouldn’t know for certain).

I honestly don’t know, it does say to not contact them about the list as they will contact you, but I really don’t want to pay the registration fee to be told that even with a bursary we still can’t afford it as in the letter it says you have to have submitted the registration form and I’m assuming the registration fee along with it before having financial discussions with them. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyLou Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I was under the impression the registration form and fee had to be handed in by Wednesday before the kids went into audition? I was told over the phone to hand both in on the day? Everyone who attended Wednesday audition at Hammond goes into reserve list and are ranked in order of score. Though honestly this doesn't always work as a boy lower down the list can still end up with an MDS over a girl who's higher up the list due to boarding situation. Plus I'd imagine year group has an impact too? My dd was quite high up reserve list last year and we know of people lower down the list who ended up with awards when she never did.
