IF they DON'T redirect, how do they distinguish between "highly polished" and "actually, just very good"?! I'm just thinking about the amount of effort that people must put into this application process that, bloomin' heck, if they're not highly polished by the time they turn up,...

They definitely do have all your previous audition data to hand - on the same database that they now instantly put your remarks on during the session via their laptop in the audition room (hence the reason for them not putting on the form how many times you've applied, I guess - they don't need you ...

I was concerned for the same reason Rebecca, although I do have it on good authority that on the year before last's membership course, there were about six 14 year olds, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility. I think maybe what it comes down to is if they have 2 students, both of similar abil...

My DD went to Birmingham last weekend for the entry auditions, and she was also definitely in the minority, being in Year 9. She said there was almost nobody else there below year 11, and as your DD said the majority seemed to be over 16.

I know it's easy to think the worst, but I'm going to quote your own words back to you:

but they did tell her not to assume the worse if she doesn't hear as they may not be able to see everyone on Saturday so may call some people to London.

..so don't assume the worst!!!

Are they the only recalls, Sapphire - or are there further recalls in London later?

...and how did they feel about her male Shakespeare monologue - were they happy with it? I do hope it's a good sign that they bothered going into so much detail

And a few more for good measure

Yes, good luck to your DD this morning, Sapphire - hope it goes brilliantly..

excellent news - congrats to her
