Ballet Dreams Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 So pleased my DD has a yes to WL finals. Just goes to show you should never give up and keep trying she had a no to JAs in year 4 and 5 and was a SWL in year 6. She and I are over the moon! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returnofthejedi Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 It's a YES for my DD for WL finals 🎉🎉 am in utter shock but so incredibly chuffed to have made this step!! We got a no for JA yr 5 entry but a yes for yr 6. Only had a few in person lessons due to the pandemic so really pleased they'd like to see us. Good luck everyone 🤞🤞🤞 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteduvet Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Yes I think so. Maybe they think that’s fairer since videos aren’t as good as in person auditions? Great for everyone who gets through and gets the experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballet Power Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 My dd got a no (I think the no’s are more reluctant to share.) well done to all the students who made it to the final. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteduvet Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I’m sorry for your DD. I hope she’s doing ok with the news.

Niknik10 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Big congratulations to everyone. I went through all of these emotions last year with my ds who made it to finals for year 8 but didn’t get a place. We decided to give it a miss this year due to all these restrictions. Very best of luck for the finals guys. 🤞🤞🤞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowlight Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Congratulations to all those who have been offered finals places. It does seem like a lot this year, but I think we have a particularly active cohort of Year 7 and 8 parents this year So sorry for those who haven't been offered a final audition. That was my dd every year for RBS. (She kept trying though!) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medora Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 We had a yes too, definitely did not expect it. I heard there were fewer places for finals this year due to covid restrictions - who knows! What are the odds at this stage? Is it like academic secondary schools, who typically invite 2 children to interview for every one place they offer? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmhurst is slightly different in that they don't have a set number for boys and girls.....they take who they like, and thre might not be an even split. This year its nearly equal, but there are some older years with very few boys. Edited February 15, 2021 by sunrise81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteduvet Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Odds are generally around 1:5/1:6 at year 7 finals although those stats are misleading in my opinion: if you’ve got what they’re looking for, your odds are 1:1 and if you don’t, they’re zero, and there’s very little you can do about it (you were either born with the body they’re looking for, or you weren’t). However more places were given out for finals this year if our JA cohort is anything to go by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InOverOurHeads Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Well done to all those offered finals, an amazing achievement. Sorry for the not yet - hope your DC are ok. Just wondered if anyone knows what will happen to those that just applied for MA. I'm wondering if my DD will be at a disadvantage as we only applied for MA. For various reasons we decided against applying for full time training. My DD was SWL for Year 6 last year, but nothing came of it. I'm now kicking myself why didn't we just apply for both. Does anyone think MA applicants will get called for associate finals?? Is that even a thing? Will those that go to WL finals be more likely to get offered MA over those that just applied for MA. I really feel like we didn't think this through properly and have put her at a disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
