We have an offer there with part funding but it is their own diploma (not trinity) which probably makes no difference but we will look into it more. As other options so far are degree.
All I know is it is on a small industrial estate as we visited once and did a girls day. Other than that we don't know much either.

The rest who they like are placed on their reserve list. My DD is on the reserve list. Your daughter will be absolutely fine putting in her audition material for a later audition date. For Urdang they are still giving offers and recalls. My DD is also on their recall list. I think your DD will be open to receiving offers from Urdang up until their last audition date so don’t feel disheartened.

Congrats on the offer there! How did your DD find the girls day? Were the teachers good? Did she get a good vibe there from them and their students?

Hi she did like it, but it's a lot smaller than other colleges so it depends on personal preference that way. If honest it's not in the nicest location...but then I find lots of them aren't so that is just one of those things. She had a zoom interview and said they were very nice and mentioned not overlooking them just because of finance ( the subsequent offer is roughly 50% funded)....in the paperwork it does mention a deadline and subsequent penalty after x amount of days so we do need to discuss ...I think there is a liability for fees if you later decline so it does need reading properly. Deposit is £275 I believe.

DD got an offer a week ago now, got a phone call almost exactly two weeks after her audition (she had her interview on the first day of auditions), got some really lovely feedback from admin and Miss Laine, saying they thought Laine would be perfect for her. She was offered a full dada aswell which she is over the moon about, not too sure what getting a phone call instead of a letter means? I don’t believe anyone has recieved their official letter as we haven’t

So now it’s decision time - degree course at Bird or performers.
It’s a difficult choice but we know she’s in a lucky position and she feels very grateful to know she has a place to go to.

Sounds like Laine has offered places to their top applicants (those who will definitely get funding). Maybe others will get offers but no funding or offers and a waiting list for funding. Or rejections of course. They still have half of their applicants to audition. Full DADAs usually depend on parental income - but Betty does offer top ups and her own scholarships. Hope the waiting isn't too long! Fantastic for those who have heard already. Well done to your DC!
