We’re going to apply tomorrow as I don't want to take any chances and give myself anything else to worry about!

If he’s lucky enough to be offered or reserved GSA and accepted it, it’s still not a dead cert until A level results day, so Trinity accommodation needs to be confirmed no matter what really.

I feel like life’s a ridiculous gamble atm.

Hahaha! Boys hey?! Sounds so familiar, they have no idea how crucial this withheld information is to the sanity of a NAPM!!!

At the GSA recall date last year mine got through to the interview stage at recall and was then offered place on the spot. Dc was thrilled but didn't take the place as had already got a place at their dream school. Once the recalls are done it does all move pretty quick. There will be enough accommodation though wherever they go, the schools have lists of landlords, families, student halls etc and there is always plenty to go around.

We are also waiting for news of Laine funding, Have heard via the grapevine it will be another 2 week wait before we know.

em2512 - I wonder what is taking them so long to decide at Laine. Luckily my dd didn't need to attend the funding auditions but I really feel for all those still waiting - it's just such a relief to have the final decisions made as otherwise it's all so up in the air isn't it?

How sure are you? I’ve looked back and it has been almost exactly three weeks from recall to first results on here every year from 2013 onwards. That would mean next Friday/Saturday things would start filtering out.

I know the lady in charge of funding at Laine is unwell x

Oh goodness my DC also heard this too through the grapevine. The torture never ends.

Oh dear! Not good for her and not good for us. Hope it isn't anything serious for her sake.

Anyone applying for there DC ‘s Trinity accommodation today??

All becoming very serious and very real

I guess Central second recalls must be happening soon. Good luck to all who are going back for them. We are nearly finished the auditions at least folks, then just the waiting...

Well DD has decided on The Hammond for sure and withdrawing from the reserve foundation with Trinity x hard decision but for her I think the right one x we just booked her accommodation in Tramways and student finance is done so now she just has to get the grades lol x Thankyou for everyone's support. Trinity was the dream but she's very happy with Hammond and I hope it helps her dream come true x

Good luck to your daughter and congratulations on making the decision. This won't be the last time she has to make a tough decision in her career and, without sounding patronising, often head should win over heart. She's happy with The Hammond and although Trinity was her dream I'm sure she'll excel going forward. Good luck for the results!
