Belljul Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Might be worth opening it and being prepared angel. Might be a waiting list place?

Belljul Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Really sorry to hear it was a no angel. It's so hard when other siblings are doing well. I was where you are last year and it's so difficult. Feeling for you and you dd xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletgirlsplease Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Sorry to hear its a no Angel. We had the same situation when I auditioned my two Dd's for Ja's. the one that REALLY wanted it didn't get in and the one that wasn't that fussed got in! And now the one that wasn't fussed that got in is fussed beyond all belief and the one that REALLY wanted it has been totally put off and is now not fussed. Funny how things work out. I'm sure things work out for a reason. Xx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JA_Dad Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Congratulations Plié,  I hope your DS is pleased now after watching his sister celebrate last week. We were just discussing your situation here and it sounds like you've got some big decisions to make. Do you have any idea what you're going to do ? Will it be one at each school ? or is YDA still on the cards ? Have they been seperated at school before ?  We too had 'Yes' for our DD today but she has her heart and mind set on WL. I don't know how Elmhurst work their waiting lists etc. but it appears there may be a fair amount of duplication in offers so good luck to anyone who's still waiting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 So glad that the waiting is over , from a teachers perspective it is interesting , 2 talented pupils who reached the finals , one successful for year 8 , one not so for year 7 but I am equally proud of them both , and would encourage anyone with a 'no' letter to keep in mind that it only means 'not this time ' and to be inspired by other testimonies on this forum . It is evident that very little separates the finalists and all children should be really proud to have got so far . 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna C Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Angel, I do hope you are feeling a little better. Don't think of it as anything having gone wrong for your dd, it may be that she just isn't ready YET. All children develop at a different rate, and it could be that your dd needs an extra year or so before she's ready for Vocational school. It's very hard to get a "no" letter but it certainly needn't be the end of the dream. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks Spannerandpony, Â I'm no better, although out of hospital but thankfully little DD is doing fine. She's disappointed about Elmhurst but as only one of her JA class got in it has softened the blow considerably. No idea what has happened there as there are some very nice little dancers/ballet bodies in that group. I will probably start another topic on that. Little DD is So similar to her older sister 'not ready yet, is not something I would say about her. Maybe she should take a different direction or maybe we continue on the ballet route yet with all but one of the girls going to finals from Birmingham not getting places anywhere, the chance if an MA is about nil. Â How to get the right training now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletla Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Sorry to hear about your DD Angel. I do hear rumours that the new AD is sweeping through Elmhurst with a big broom and raising standards which is only a good thing. However from what I have heard, the Elmhust offers for year 7 and 6.1 are going mostly to the same people who have offers for RBS. Naturally they are all accepting RBS, so I do wonder if there will be anyone left to go to Elm? One Birm JA offer for Elm is really low. Hope you feel better soon.

2dancersmum Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Angel - I really wouldn't worry about the quality of training your DD is getting with associates. I'm sure the numbers accepted into diferent schools and into MAs varies considerably each year. Nor would I think of it as something going wrong for your DD. The fact is that there are very few places versus a lot of applicants. There are quite a lot of JA scemes and a lot who apply having never been a JA either through choice or through not being accepted. I would imagine it is very rare for any of our DDs to pass through the process from young child with potential to professional dancer without gathering their share of nos along the way. You hear time and time again on this forum that 'no may just mean not yet'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
along for the ride mum Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I can imagine quite a few will get into Elmhurst off the waiting list if a lot have WL offers too? does anyone know if this is the case, and if so, how many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atacrossroads Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 ...has anyone heard of a child who has 'waiting list' for Elmhurst Year 7? I don't thing anyone's mentioned it on this thread have they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi'smom Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Elmhurst do offer unfunded places also so maybe (and I have no idea this is just me surmising!) if MDSs become available through children accepting other offers they are offered to those children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Curious! I have only heard of yes or no this year . i wonder if a 'no' ever gets a yes in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
