Thanks for asking. Urdang degree with top up funding (needs CCC grades), GSA degree (but needs AAB grades!), London Studio Centre degree and waiting to see if they offer any help with funding, Laine he has a place but we can't afford the enormous fees so he needs to do well at the funding recall next week. So he will be going somewhere, just not sure where!

That’s a brilliant result from auditioning this year!! Is it his first year?!!

yes it's his first year - but it has taken several years off me and that is with a lot of positive results!!

Tell me about it!!! That’s great though, my DS’s first year auditioning too and so far ArtsEd- recall found offer, Central- 1st recall then no further, GSA- recall awaiting result, Trinity- recall offer 3yr BA Hons then Mountview- recall but didn’t attend.

So knowing how hard it can be year after year I’m so proud of his hard work. They must have been ready I guess? I don’t think I could’ve gone on another year or more, but tbh there would’ve been no option. X

He has done really well. Thankfully they will be off somewhere next year then

Thanks. I had just discovered this. Before I had thought you would need confirmed offers first. I guess that our audition process is so much more complicated that this isn't even on our radar. That's today's job then... or maybe not as it is unavailable for this 24 hours. typical!

You’ll need a few coffees to get through it
It seemed hard going for me cos I did it as if I were my son if that makes sense and then as parents you have to do it as well for the maintenance loan and income, etc so I felt like I did it 3 times but we’re all done now xx

In all honesty she was blown away by the Principals, facilities and Move It pieces. She also loved Performers and Urdang but Wilkes made her feel that it was the place for her, where she’ll be more than just a number.
