She got a place on the 3 yr diploma at Italia Conti!!

Funding (DaDA) needs to be applied for and is by no means certain, so she might not go!!

But she got a place!!! I am so, so proud!!! can you tell?

Yipee!!!

I'm waiting to hear about the funding - apparently they score people at the initial interview and then when they hear from the government how much money they are getting this year the deal it out using those scores

So it could all be decided but we might not hear for ages yet

They refused her on application form; they only take 10% of students (7) from outside London
