Dancers Dad Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 We got the waiting list email from Central today but probably not going to wait. I think we're pretty psyched up for Northern now, so that - finally - is that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're pretty psyched up for Northern now, so that - finally - is that. Having said that... it is really hard when you don't know if you're first on the wait list or 200th! I think my daughter would just like to know if she was close. Mind you, having looked at the price of accommodation for Central this morning and it being about twice as much as for Northern, I confess to feeling just a little bit relieved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pups_mum Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 There's often a lot of movement on waiting lists for upper schools as there are so many more of them than lower schools. Quite a lot of people apply to multiple schools and get more than one offer so it takes a while for things to settle down as everyone decides and more offers are made. If you're on a waiting list, don't lose heart at this point. Fingers crossed for good news for you all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmhurst Central Tring RCS Thank you. I can only really speak about RCS where my son is in first year. He was lucky enough to have several offers last year and was pleased to have RCS among them as that was his first choice. The class sizes are small which I think is one of the main benefits. They get lots of personal attention from the teachers and are known well by all the staff. RCS seems to give them good prospects for employment at the end I hope! My son has had a minor knee issue and had no trouble accessing the Scottish Ballet physio about it. Accommodation is I’m sure better than London as I did look into what was around there. At RCS they can stay in Base (Freshliving.com) which is a few minute walk from the studios. It’s also in walking distance of city centre shops etc. There is good student support here from staff. The rooms are lovely and modern with on site laundry etc. 6 students all have en-suite rooms and share a kitchen/lounge. There is also a gym/ dance studios/cinema rooms/study rooms/roof terrace in Base. Another good thing about RCS is the collaboration with other disciplines in the Conservatoire. They’ve just done a piano and dance festival collab and my son is choosing his optional modules for next year which can be from other areas in RCS. I think he did make the right choice...but I suppose you don’t know for sure until the end when it comes to getting a job! Good luck.

sillysally Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Hi all, Has anyone been offered a place off the waiting list for Central yet? I'm interested to know if there has been any movement. In fact, does anyone know anything about the timeline? When do prospective students reply to their offers? Also, does anyone have any idea if there are 100 or 20 on the waiting list, its hard to gauge if moving from on the wait list is a realistic option or a nice pipe dream..... P.S. I must say that I really appreciate being a member this forum, it seems to me that people genuinely want to help each other and that is precious. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Sillysally 🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletmum20 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I don’t know how many on the waiting list sorry🤪 but the student who have been offered places have to except by 14/04/21- I know there will be movement as I personally know a handful of student who won’t be taking their place at central x I wish you all the luck in the wold 💗 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love-dance Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Hi SillySally Think people were waiting for Tring funding results that came out yesterday and today..
