HopelessMummy Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Nope. Same form, one set of photos and one set of fees, just tick box to say whether you wanted to apply for MA/SA at the same time as WL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess dreams Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Just reading the texts, I have heard that even if you did not tick the box for associate place, if they like the candidate they will offer them a place anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if only have 1 day because of numbers or is it a more complicated reason? X There are more girls than boys invited to the finals, and the selection process (hearsay) is very very different for girls. I have a boy, and we know lots of girls through to WL finals, it was different to the boys finals. I hear you all shouting ‘of course they are different’ but i have been told both by parents and teachers the girl selection process is quite brutal in they really do know what they want. Again this is what I have been told, not what I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they want? Is this in terms of a certain aesthetic/physique/facility? So a lot of cuts happen before candidates get to really show their dancing chops? You know at the Med schools where I work, we used to only interview applicants with the very highest marks. Then, more than a decade ago, we realised that a large part of the job required exceptional people skills!! The cut-off mark required to get an interview was reduced (still very high) and we introduced competency-based interviewing to make selections based on demonstration of the skills needed on-the-job (problem-solving, stress-management, empathy, ethics...). Some people don't have the best ballet feet but they sure know what to do with them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
