Katymac Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 It was taught quickly - but she did enjoyed it even if she didn't pick it all up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 If it is her favourite It might be worth a phone call just to make sure that they do have everything for her to make their decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yes - it's balancing being protective & ringing and making a nuisense of yourself by ringing I hate stuff like this 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 I rang!! & apparently they don't 'need' the paperwork, they have their photos and they remember the youngsters..... We've had our first rejection AND we. Have done our last one befor Christmas!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) So sorry to hear that Katymac! Hope it's not her favourite one! Hope you have a nice break and a rest too...

Katymac Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think so - she is asleep on the train 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 We got home at 8:25 - she was in bed by 8:35 (medicine taken & teeth cleaned!!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Bless her - that's the big 'down' at the end of her week or so riding the roller coaster. I hope she can enjoy some rest over Christmas and be fighting fit for the last few auditions in the New Year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 We are both exhausted & poor DH has been picking up the slack at work & home Sleep is on the cards for a few days/weeks (she says hopefuilly) once I finish work on Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Have a lovely rest over Christmas, and best of luck to your dd for her remaining auditions. The break will do her (and you) the world of good, and she'll be able to recharge those batteries 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Our second rejection arrived & that's with no audition - the cut was done on application form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 ooh that's harsh - I think its poor when a college charges you to apply but offers no audition. You cannot tell how well someone dances from a piece of paper!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 There wasn't a fee (at least I don't think so....I can't remember ) so that's good at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) That's a shame was that one on her favourite list? Edited December 20, 2013 by Dance2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Seems a bit strange I must say not to audition when it's for Dance but I believe some places reject some potential students by just photos alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 They can only take 10% from 'the rest of the country' which is 7 for MT; so they have to reduce the number they audition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'm sorry to hear that Katymac... Better luck to your DD in the New Year! By the way, what do you mean by "the rest of the country"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Anything outside greater London - which is Brit's catchment area She says they haven't rejected my dancing just my ability to fill in a form..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I didn't even know they took kids out of the catchment area... She's right, of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Still a disappointment but she is right - the rejection is down to geography and nothing to do with her ability. I guess they just had loads of applications for that 10% of places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 She got another foundation offer today In a lot of ways this is good; it means despite starting so late she is nearly 'there'; I mean they can't offer everyone a foundation course. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 That's excellent, is that now going to make your decision more difficult choosing between a foundation and the btec? Which college was the offer from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 We have (almost 4) and a half Local Btec Slightly further Btec Pre-voc Foundation & waiting list for a 6th form we can't afford The choices between the two Btecs is hard and the choice between Btec & pre-vo/foundation is hard and the choice betewwn the pre-vo & the foundation is hard too I'm glad DD decides not me althought I do get input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Another rejection today & her favourite college She is coping better than I am 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Sorry for DD Katymac especially as favourite but one can never really be sure until actually doing a course so may turn out for the best! One can hope this at any rate!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2dancersmum Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Sorry it wasn't better news for your DD Katymac. I wondered if you'd heard as DD mentioned a few of her friends had posted news on their facebook pages. I'm glad too that she is coping. And at least she still has options. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
