We are second time round as DD is on the Foundation at Arts Ed (which she loves) but has only just started auditioning again for BA courses. She’s got a couple of offers so far, including a degree offer at Urdang made without recall after her audition last week. She was shocked, as although the singing, acting and ballet class went really well, she felt she wasn’t good enough compared to others in the jazz class (which in her audition was more of a commercial style). DD’s singing is her strongest asset so maybe they were on the look out for a particular style? I am so pleased for her. She has worked so hard this year to improve in dance and it has paid off. She still has GSA recall, Mountview and Arts Ed to do so will wait before deciding. She is probably going to cancel a couple of other auditions she had booked. Not sure if audition fees are refundable at all?
Does anyone have a DC doing the degree at Urdang who has any advice / tips?

Apparently they don’t offer firm places until they finish all of the final round recalls which are due to complete in the next few weeks. So at this point it’s either a no or a maybe!

We still have everything crossed for her. I’m a bit confused though - has she done her final round recall in Scotland then?

Are there any others she is going for this year?

Yes she did the final round the weekend before last and felt it went well. But RCS do about 6 final round auditions in groups of 15 and they haven’t finished them all yet.

She has first round GSA, Central and Arts Ed in March and April and has an automatic recall to Mountview in April as she got to the final round last year. Auditioning rather late this year as her voice was not good until a few weeks ago.

That is absolutely brilliant news!!! Well done to your DD, a fabulous result! x

There must be a lot of movement from reserve lists quite late on. DDs friend was offered Urdang and Performers on the day during her interview and has three other offers too - so several places will become free but she's holding on for as long as she can til she knows about accommodation etc plus she has one more audition and one recall - both higher on her personal list. No idea how it works through UCAS and whether you can hold on to multiple offers but a few people's day will be brightened soon! Good luck with this journey everyone! It all seems to work out in the end!

Felicity My DD has also been v lucky to have been offered Degree at Urdang without recall ... although we haven't yet had an 'offer letter' but her UCAS track has been updated. Have you received anything in the post ? Am not sure whether to expect a letter or email ?

Also does anyone who has done degree know if Urdang are at all flexible on results day ? ... DD 'should' achieve the points required .... but nothing is ever certain

Thankyou and good luck to all for remaining auditions !

On UCAS I think you wait until you have heard from all your choices before accepting/confirming your first and ? Insurance choice ? .. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong on this..... seems to me a bit odd to keep an 'insurance place' at one of these popular colleges right up until A level results day?
