Has anybody had a second interview letter yet?

No news (i.e. no 2nd interview letter) yet means likely you will either get a "No" letter at end of Jan or a "yes" letter a few days into Feb. Only middle third should have got a 2nd interview invitation by now. Though who knows if some 2nd interview letters may still arrive (if a bit delayed) on Monday, though looks like people received them yesterday or today.

Think those who did well enough who applied for entry at year 7 to qualify as potential scholarship material will invited for that in last week of Jan too.

Last year the no letter came on the Tuesday, ie 10 days after the exam. So maybe if we can cross that hurdle? .....

Think there is still time to get a second interview letter.
Some came out on Thursday but I know of one that was received today!

No news is good news!
I think the 2nd interview letter is the first possible communication from the school, 2nd option is the No letter! (We really don't want one of them, but.....)
We are hoping to fly under the radar till the 15th Feb, we are all wearing our invisibility cloaks!
Fingers crossed for everybody.

If dh heard it right can someone confirm that they are changing the immediate no thanks letters to later in the process this year. So, according to dh in that meeting, instead of sending them about now, they will be posting them at the end of Jan. It seems from the posts on here that if you have an interview you should have heard by now for a VR/ENG/Maths interview. Oh well, as the saying goes no news is good news or, this year, bad news. Any ideas how many were for 11 plus and how many for 13 plus? Thanks for starting a thread.

Anyone got any negative replies yet?? I wonder what no news means?
