Dea Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Anyone else very impatient?! We are currently waiting for ballet and tap exam results, and results from auditions at Elmhurst, and I hate it!! Why does it take over 4 weeks for exam results to come through when they mark it all on the day?! Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dea Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 It makes you appreciate the auditions where they tell you straight away!! At least that helps to ease the pain of the wait for the others!! On the positive side we had first places at festivals today and dd scholarship performance with Regional Youth Ballet is this coming weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneypenny Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I forget how nerve racking all the waiting is, and how time seems to pass so slowly when you're waiting, and how one glares at the postman as if it's his fault that there is nothing in the post when you're desperate for news. However, my tummy is starting to churn already at the prospect that in a few short months we will be going through the whole nail biting process all over again to try and secure a much coveted 6th form place! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dea Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 It is so hard for them and us!!!! Elmhurst did say 7-10 days at the associate audition and it's been 9 days so hopefully not too long now! It's been just over 4 weeks for ISTD ballet and just over 3 weeks for ISTD tap, so again hopefully not long! Good luck with the 6th form place!

Dea Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well the waiting for Elmhurst is over anyway! Received a "sorry not this time" letter today. Not unexpected I have to say, but we were still secretly hoping! Now cross that we didn't apply to RBS as well though for the experience, as she did enjoy the audition! there's always next year!

grumpybearzuk Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 So sorry to hear that but it's always worth trying again and it's good experience for your child xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy days Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Last year I walked up and down the streets in our village searching for the postie as I heard the audition results were out and made him search his bag for our letters when I tracked him down. He got caught up in all the excitement when both dd got a yes. We are at the same time of year and again waiting for results for auditions and exams. I best warn Mr postie I will be hunting him down again in a week or so. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I`m waiting for my son`s GCSE results to come out. His last exam was on 14 June, and the results arrive in school on 22 August. The weeks are dragging like anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Gosh! What a long wait! DD2 did her French equivalent on the 26 and 27 June and she got the result on July 8th! Much quicker! Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy days Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Seriously I cant cope with this. I saw the postie this morning and thought no we have another 2 weeks before we find out whether my 2 dd's were successful on their auditions so went out shopping. Bad move. The calls and the texts start coming through saying letters are out. I'm stuck in the shops desperately ringing home to see what post we have and the oldest dd says there is only 1 letter for her younger sister She sounds upset that no letter has arrived for her. We race home, ignoring the fact that we need this and that from the shops, to find the one letter on the doormat. I pick it up. It feels rather thick and am only hoping that there are 2 letters in the 1 envelope. Yes, I shout both letters are here much to my eldest daughters relief, but hadn't even checked to see whether they were "yes's at this point". Well the good news is the letters are both YES'S and youngest dd even got part in same group as her older sister. Happy Household today You need nerves of steel for this dancing business!!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Great news :-) And afab - that's normal here for GCSEs - and A levels are only out the week before. Mind you, I now understand why it takes so long, working at a college where we have degrees being marked - can't imagine the logistics behind the huge numbers of GCSEs and A levels!

afab Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Gosh! Poor UK kids... and parents! Brevet (GCSE equivalent) and Bac (A'levels equivalent) are marked and results given in a matter of a few days here! Similar number of kids sitting them though I suppose since both countries have about the same number of inhabitants... Good luck to the people waiting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It would make life easier if they were similar to France. On the very same day the results come out,it`s the very LAST day to confirm you are enrolling on a Further Education course at college. You have to collect your results from school,[whatever time they arrive in school i`ve no idea].Then up to college taking said exam results with you. If you don`t enrol that last day, your place on the course is lost.Thankfully, Southern Regional College [Newry,County Down] have given students until 8 o`clock that night to enrol. But don`t know about other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It doesn't happen like that everywhere - I work at a college and we assume they're joining us unless we hear otherwise (as they've been interviewed and offered conditional places) and if there are spaces we'll accept them up until the first week of the course. If they don't get the required grades for a level 3 course they've been offered then we put them on the level 2 (after discussion of course!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The colleges around here work on the same basis as Julie's. In any case on results day the schools do have them very early. Our school makes the children collect their results slips in person from 9am onwards but another school in the town hear by email and that is usually before 9am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its her Life Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I work for a sixth form college too & ours works along exactly the same lines as Julie's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
