When my son got called back it was about half of those that took the exam. There will be a lot interviewed that don’t get offered a place. There are a few that have 10+ offers and some already offered from a feeder school. So we worked out there were very few spaces left when you consider the scholarship offers too. Good luck, fingers crossed.

I don't think they will be setting up any 'regular' interviews yet, which are from Sat 13th onwards, as there is such a short turnaround for the scholarship interview sessions, which start early next week.

When DS sat 4 years ago, they call boys to interview in "batches" by their schools. So I would only worry if you know of other boys from your DS' school who have heard. The primary / prep school may know before you receive the letter. DS had his Hampton interview on the same day and time as about 5 other boys from his prep. They do it by school, but I think we heard no more than a week after the exam (I remember it was the same day as the Latymer Upper exam). Good luck!

Not yet - quite soon after the exam though still. Think scholarship interviews are next week then general interviews the following week so it might be a while yet
