KathyG Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Elmhurst have always been very slow with the results, we heard on the last day of term! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I see they are auditioning in Japan on 25th March. Do you think we have to wait until after that, because presumably if they wish to offer places from that audition, it will impact on the number they can take from the finals?

charlie4dancin Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If we all contact them and ask for the results by email they might get the hint haha Cx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I'm a bit late but good luck to everyone for today (and boys tomorrow I think!!). Â And to those waiting to hear about lower school - keep up with the breathing exercises...... (I shouldn't think they'll make you wait until the overseas auditions ) Edited March 15, 2012 by JulieW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belljul Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 I think those with a Hammond audition on Monday have good reason to phone and ask if the letters are likely to arrive in the next couple of days. I am close to ringing because I know Mrs Pitt is always friendly and helpful but have refrained! I even asked my older son to ask when the letters were going out and he said he would but then forgot!! Now he is away on a school trip until Fri night! Arghhhh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to know ASAP, either way, as going away now for a couple of days and also there is the Tring funding audition on Tuesday x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belljul Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Looks like letter are to be posted first class tomorrow! So at least you can relax tomorrow and then mug the postie on Saturday. A friend was told this by the school. Good luck xx 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniffymum Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Good luck from all in our household too. Â Does anyone know if there is a difference in size/thickness of yes and no letters? Won't be home Saturday so someone else will be looking but not opening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Thank you to everyone who made efforts to find out about letters. We too won't be home on Saturday as we are heading off to Hammond finals tonight and taking in family visits over the weekend. We have decided not to ask someone else to open and will wait until Monday night to find out. Â Hope it's good news for everyone - keep posting as we will hopefully be able to read the forum whilst away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildflowers Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Good luck everyone...with the letters and further auditions. For those away at weekend, relax and enjoy at least you know the wait will be over when you get home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swe Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 ..and good luck from us too-I get a knot in my stomach just thinking about yes/no letters! We will be in the same boat in a couple of weeks waiting for RBS SA letters xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belljul Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi sniffymum. I know that yes letters are A4 with quite a few sheets in. So quite a hefty letter really. I am guessing a no would be a smaller thin letter. Good luck tomorrow. I have a feeling ours will be Monday as post usually quite slow :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniffymum Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks Belljul - I'll ask my neighbour to look through the letter box to see if he can see anything. Good luck for Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belljul Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Oh that's going to be tricky sniffymum! There might be another A4 letter there upside down but from somewhere else! Or a small one and you will assume the worst!! I don't envy you. The Elmhurst letter will certainly have an Elmhurst frank mark so if your neighbour manages to see that then you will know! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JA_Dad Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 letter has just arrived. Small and thin. DD's at her local ballet class now so will have to wait 'till later but I'm assuming dissapointment management will be in order. Â Roll on the MA decision next, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belljul Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Well the letter is addressed to you as parents JA Dad so maybe you should open it and check then be able to talk to your daughter rather than have her open it. Just a thought. I did that with an RBS no letter and it felt better to have the news come from me rather than a piece of paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybeans Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 And I think waiting list letters are also small and thin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Please don't think I'm criticising anyone personally - it's just my opinion - but I have been surprised this year by the number of people who leave the letters to be opened by their children. They are addressed to parents and I think it's important that we are able to prepare our children for whatever the answer may be. It saves all this speculation about whether a thick or thin letter is important (who knows when a school might change the way they do things - granted a "no" will probably always be a small letter, but they might decide to send the "yes" letters out on one too sometime, to send out the other info later). Â When we got any of our JA/WL/Elmhurst letters for my son and daughter I always opened them. For JAs I had a congratulations card ready for when they came home from school, for WL I took the letter down to school at lunchtime and when he heard from Elmhurst he was away at WL anyway, so I couldn't have waited to give it to him! Â And when you get the "no", as my daughter did for WL and then MAs I was able to compose and prepare myself for telling her - and have something nice planned to take her mind off it. Â However you decide to do it, I wish you all luck and remember you can't do anything to change what's about to drop through the letter box. It really isn't the end of the world (although I know how that disappointment feels) if it's a "no" and be prepared for a bit of a reality check to kick in after the excitement's died down in a few days if it's a "yes" (don't worry, the excitement comes back ) - it's a huge change in your life about to happen and it might last one, three, five, or eight years - enjoy every step along the way.
