Seraphina Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Hi, my daughter auditioned in London for the first time , understand the competition is very fierce , my daughter is already talking about trying again next year, just wondered if anyone has any idea of how many get in each year? And does it vary depending on which centre you apply to? many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpatB Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I gather that overall they take less than 10% of applicants. Their yearly report stated the number of applicants each for year. Boys seem to have a higher chance of getting a place, and London is the most competitive, with the least chance of getting accepted. So basically London based girls have it the hardest. As a mother of a London based girl, I feel your pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it your DD or DS who is auditioning for Newcastle? Looking at the stats I think the odds are definitely against us with it being just the one mixed year group class! Really hope we find out soon.

DD for a year 4 place, first audition ever and no experience of anything like this (has never done a competition for example) and was rather bemused by the stretching in the waiting area so we really have NO chance at all! I’m not sure whether not knowing with a tiny glimmer of hope is better than knowing it’s a no?! How about you Bunny? DD or DS? And what year group?

She might be exactly what they are looking for! I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed for her! What group was she in on the day? We were group one but luckily we didn't really see any over enthusiastic stretching! Mine is a DS, going for a Y5 place. He has only been dancing for 18 months now though, so doesn't have an awful lot of experience of this type of thing at all although he does compete in festivals and competitions. He really, really wants it though as in his mind The RB are the best in the world and there is no other company or scheme that could possibly compare! Bless him. I have downplayed and distracted as much as possible and explained to him repeatedly that his chances are slim to none and although he knows this, it hasn't stopped him hoping and wishing! Oh gosh I know exactly what you mean! While we don't know there's still a chance isn't there, but once the emails are out, if it's a no then that's it.....it's that that's the hard part I think!

She was in Group 2. She was one of the youngest there I think. Although I’m not quite sure how it works/worked still! Fingers and everything crossed for them both, Bunny. Let me know about your son as soon as you hear! Would love for him to get the news he so desperately wants. Think my daughter has accepted the fact that it will be a no, but there must be a secret part of her that still hopes it’s a yes! I am hiding the email refreshing and my chatting to you guys on this forum from her, she’s just casually getting on with life! It’s just SO unlikely isn’t it?! Right, what day are we realistically expecting to hear?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I’ve just logged in to openapply and there’s a new link to DS s checklist coming up but it’s for something called the short course associate programme in belfast 2019/20? So I’m assuming that means he’s been unsuccessful and they’ve put a different application on but we’re nowhere near Belfast, we’re near Newcastle, so I’ve no idea why it’s on there? Anybody else had this put on? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutTheJourney Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 I can see that same link on DD's openapply page too. How odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I’ve just googled it and it’s for 8-14 year olds so unless it’s automaticaly been added to all applicants of that age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllAboutTheJourney Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Yes when you click on the Apply Now link on this page it takes you straight into Openapply so maybe it's just that they have added the link now that applications for that course are open? https://www.royalballetschool.org.uk/train/dancer-training/associate-programme/associate-short-course-belfast/ We are also not near Belfast so I don't think location is relevant... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catlynn Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 It is on DD’s open apply page as well. No idea why. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAboutTheJourney Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 I think it's automatic @Bunny (and that you shouldn't assume it means it's a No for the course he originally applied for). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spamcat Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Yes we have it too and we live in Gloucestershire! Sounds like they've added it to the page of everyone who is the correct age. I don't think it has anything to do with the outcome of the JA auditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
