sarah761 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi does anyone have any experience of getting funding at bird having been placed on their reserve list? My dd has a place on diploma but reserve list for funding. Just wondering how likely that is?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katymac Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks Last year we were the same & it is so scary; I have to say thought the pre-voc was the right decision for DD lots of things will be easier for her this year so she can concentrate on studying more Which was something I never thought of last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katymac Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks DD loved it - they played a track from Memphis which she has seen, got the CD & she had a ball! Her friends say they have never seen her dance like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just to let you know we had the same offer It is worded differently to last year - so I have no idea what happens now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 People have been offered a DaDA & I've already heard that one person has passed it back because they are out of the income band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 My DD has just been offered reserve list for degree at Bird. Does anyone know what the likelihood of getting offered a place from reserve list? She desperately wants to go there. Has been offered Laines but wants Bird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hi Cat we are chatting over here http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/9047-funding-reserve-list-at-bird/ Mainly about the diploma - but I imagine all is relevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah761 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Congrats katymac. I rang them to ask. They said ok to reserve place and to sit tight as have only given out very few of dada so far. Still got 700 kids to see!! But if they have a place on diploma then stand good chance but obviously can't guarantee. They said always lots of movement right up to summer hols...

Jan McNulty Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hello Cat and welcome to the Forum. I've merged the 2 Bird topics to keep all the information in one place. Please do let us know how you get on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks Janet - I likea tidy mind That sounds scary Sarah - so, not to boast, they must only have given a mall proportion of places out & a much smaller proportion of DaDAs We'll have to accept with a proviso that if she doesn't get a DaDA she can't come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAIRBELLES Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi Sarah761 The year my dd auditioned it was June before her place was actually confirmed. We were the first year of the new dada rules , a possible theory as to why the letters are now worded differently. My dds offer came on the same day as the students from the pre-voc course, possibly they wait to see who they want off this course . A couple of friends were waiting on a place and one was told there are 4 waiting lists according to their strengths, therefore it would depend on who gave their place back as to who then received it . Please do not take this as gospel as it is 3rd hand information but just thought it was worth a mention . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah761 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Fingers crossed then. I was told they audition right through May and lots can change ... good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Parent Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I heard that the change in DaDa rules mid-auditions threw them abit. I'm assuming causing more students to apply because of the raised cut-off point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katymac Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It's so unsettling DD has just posted this on Facebook: "Got a really unexpected surprise yesterday that I got into Bird College; was not really considering it an option for next September, nor expecting to get in, but this has sortve changed my mind! Very very pleased and shocked" So she is as shocked as I was that she got in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
