Dance2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Could she re arrange her last ones before Christmas till after to give you all a break? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Nah we have paid for trains & hotels - can't afford to pay for them twice (tbh I couldn't eveb afford to pay for them once....but I did!) At least tomorrow is free.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 That's a shame. I'm sure she will be ok and get some offers and hopefully a dada, my dd said exactly the same about the other girls being so good there is some amazing talent out there. The good thing is that she has liked all the colleges that she has been to so far so would be quite happy to go to any of them rather than have one favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Oh now we are confused! She's just been sent for a physio appt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thank you Katymac for sharing with us! It's fascinating to us as DD1 will be going that route this time next year... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Was that part of the audition process like Performers? Sounds like good news Edited December 10, 2013 by Dance2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Every school seems to look for something different in its students and the process can vary at each place too. Best not to dwell on an audition afterwards or read anything into anything as you can drive yourself crazy with all the analysing. View each one as a positive learning experience and hope for a positive outcome but as you say the reality is there are a lot of applicants for each place and the majority of successful applicants probably still get more no's than yesses. I hope you do get some offers before Christmas so that you can relax for a while. But yes you are in for the long haul as it will be months before DADAs are offered and places finally sorted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 I know & keep telling DD that I think she just had a moment of insecurity & hopefully this will boost her a bit Only a few were having the physio so I'm hoping it's a good sign 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishprincess Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Rejection letter 1 has arrived. oh dear. DD has also applied to the local college for BTec level 3 KatyMac...as a 'back up' she says. So, accepted by one with no funding currently, rejected by one.....4 more to go. How to keep her spirits up?? She's also got mocks at school so is feeling the pressure....poor lovely. I feel so helpless! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Oh, your poor DD - it's so hard to keep their spirits up DD didn't have a physio - it was a mix up. She had her mocks in Nov They do so much at this time of year as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katymac Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Someone from her first audition has a place, DD is really pleased for her & has cheered up a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Your dd could start getting letters then soon, hopefully they will cheer her up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm keeping my hopes firmly down; I'd quite like to keep her for another year or two DD is not hopeful either and tbh I am kind of encouraging that. "Expect the worst & hope for the best" is the way to go I think Anyway - a day at work tomorrow then we are off again at 5!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 She has had 2 offers One from the local level 3 6th form college (auditioned today) The other is a pre-voc from performers (which we probably can't afford) So we have both cheered up a bit as there is now a nice safe (if extremely difficult to get to) option <Phew> 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 If she gets lots more offers I can see you with a big chart putting all the pluses and minuses of each offer on while you and DD weigh up the pros and cons!! Good to know she has something in the bag! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hmm I was thinking about starting a spreadsheet - but thought I'd just add to the one I have 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishprincess Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 LinMM I have done (almost) that....not being very computer literate I haven't done a spreadsheet as such but have drawn a very colourful chart with the schools/colleges etc in one colour, the length of course and qualification offered in another , dates of audition in another and the result in another. It is very bright. 2 offers and one rejection so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katymac Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Tell me about it!! Ah well another 'almost' offer - wait list for Arts Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 That's very good, we keep thinking about that for dd but the chances of getting funding are very slim as they told me they only offer 4 scholarships so not sure we could fund it and the cost of living in London and then after the two years she would have to go to another three year course!!!!!

Katymac Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yesterday they 'lost' her Jazz comments (or didn't make any-the page was blank) I'm not sure what to do about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 How did your dd know this? I'm sure they couldn't have lost them perhaps they had written them on with the ballet ones or something. What did she think of this college, wasn't this her favourite one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramascientist Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Not quite sure what you mean Katymac, jazz comments for an audition or an exam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 She still loved it - she goes thier every Sunday anyway & really likes it plus we'd have accomodation sorted if she went here It's the comments on her audition - the man interviewing her said "did you not do Jazz?" DD said "yes I loved it" (or something like that) & he said "oh it seems to be missed, I'm sure it'll turn up" Which worried her & worries me!

Fiz Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'm not surprised. It's somewhat incompetent of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'm sure they will realise something isn't right when they do the scoring at the end of the day. How did she find the audition my dd has heard that it's really hard and they teach the jazz very quickly, not a lot of the girls that she has spoken to liked it there for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
