Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

@K8t Thanks for explaining. I guess if it says decision pending, it really is exactly that. Very frustrating for your DD but it sounds hopeful, at least.

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

@k8t Congrats to your DD on her reserve offer from PPA. That's an interesting one - I hadn't really heard of it until recently but suddenly a few people seem to be going there. Could be good to somewhere when it's on the up? Re no news from GSA, I'm not clear what stage things are at. Is it for MT d...

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

@lollipop, I'm trying to remember, but DS was in this position last year as he got an offer from a UCAS college in early Feb and then didn't hear back from another place until really late. I was very stressed as I thought he would lose the place, but he didn't. UCAS is probably the safest route, as ...

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

In my humble opinion, this process should not be attempted without gin.

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

@sailorgirluae Sorry to hear that. Hopefully your DC will have moved on and views the experience as a practice run for the real auditions coming up! Keep the faith. Where else has DC applied?

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

@Hilltop if your daughter doesn't see herself as first and foremost a dancer, I think you're right, and Performers maybe isn't the right place anyway. My impression is that Performers mainly trains large cohorts of dancers, and many of them will not go into stage/MT performing careers but more comme...

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

My general observation would be that no interview (from a place where they do interviews) means no offer, but I don't have any specific experience of Performers. If that's the case, I hope your DD won't be too disappointed and will bounce back and get offers elsewhere. DS knew a few talented girls d...

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

Any updates from you all, particularly the brave re-applicants? My DS is coming home from GSA tomorrow having had a wonderful term, and I know it's UCAS submission time and am remembering this time last year. Wishing all the DC lots of luck.

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

@Hilltop, by 'professional qualification' do you mean a diploma instead of a degree? I'm not an expert but I would think going for a reputable foundation with the aim of a really good school for degree afterwards might be a safer bet. But that's just my feeling. I don't know enough about diplomas, a...

Re: Auditioning for 2024 entry

Acting - through song is very good - singing, dance. She’s concentrating on Foundations this time, but I think she should apply for BA too So GSA is right up her street. Would she look at Mountview Foundation/degree, or does the cost rule it out? (It did for us!). Have a look at Urdang. They are tr...

@K8 if you had to rank her 3 skills (acting, singing, dance), what order what you put them in? Just trying to think where might suit! Acting - through song is very good - singing, dance.
