So at present she has done 4 auditions and had 2 foundation offers with 3 auditions left to do - this is so very hard!
But I am a great believer in everything happens for a reason and just need to convince dd that this is the case! We are in the dreaded ‘am I good enough stage’ - my answer to that is only you know that - everyone’s journey will be different - I think that if you have to do an extra year then that can only make you better and hopefully give you the skills needed that are missing at present to re-audition at your then preferred choices and hopefully gain a place - it doesn’t have to be a sprint it could be a marathon to get the result you really want

Wise words. I'm really sorry it was a no. I have everything crossed that she will find her place even if is through a foundation xxx

Congrats to your DD, fingers crossed for GSA. My DD on reserve list for Mountview foundation - I guess the waiting will continue for a while yet!

Thanks and congrats to your DD too, I highly recommend Foundation courses, the improvements dd has made have been amazing. Yep it's nail-biting stuff!

Congratulations to everyone who was successful in last few days and best of luck to everyone with the rest of their auditions .

The waiting game is awful ... especially when you hear how their other friends are doing the constant reassurance that they are just as good as anyone else is draining

She’s Still got 2 more to do and will hope one of this is a confirmed offer or it’s going to be a total rethink of the whole situation

Yes last year we called and spoke with Sarah Carroll who gave us very informative and constructive feedback which so far has not been replicated by any other college where the feedback was very generic and not very personal or they did not offer feedback at all. Give them a call

Just got to keep going until all options are on the table at the end of the auditions, it’s such a stressful time but just keep her focused and am sure the right thing will come along
