RGS Guildford 2022 entry

My son recently sat the entrance exams for RGS Guildford. I'm wondering if anyone has heard anything yet about or been invited to the 2nd/Benefit-of-doubt interviews in January? Anxiously waiting here and not sure whether I want to get an email about it or whether I don't!!

Yes congratulations @11Plus2022 - well done to your DS and a great early christmas present!

Do we know if any second interview emails came out today or just scholarship ones?

Oh wow, well done to your DS, @11Plus2022! What an achievement! And relief!

This is all such a stressful process! Wish they would just send out the outright 'No's" as soon as they know. Think everyone has to wait till Feb half-term though to hear for sure

Thank you so much @11plus fingers crossed!!!

Thanks @pjsgalore, it is an awful process, and more drawn out than ever this year. Hopefully no news is good news for your DS.

Oh well done to your DS 11plus - what an achievement!

My DS also sat RGS - and here with you all biting my nails and checking emails!!! He also sat Hampton. Aaaghhh. SO nerve-wracking!!

Email invitations to sit the academic scholarship papers are out. Very, very relieved and proud of DS.

Hi same situation here. Just keep on waiting. Hopefully, we can hear some news by end of this week. Since 2nd interview is for pupils for benefit of doubt, then if I don't hear the 2nd interview, is it a good sign or bad sign?

Hi - also wondering the same - I was assuming they’d come out sometime this week but haven’t heard anything either. Like you I can’t decide if I want to receive an email or not. Fingers crossed for updates soon

Thanks very much for replying. Was just keen to hear if anyone else had heard anything. I'll keep waiting impatiently! Hope it all went well for your DS on the day.

My DS sat it too. We were told that interview emails would come out by the end of term, so I’m
thinking they’ll be sent sometime in the next few days, but possibly as late as Tuesday or Wednesday next week? Haven’t heard anything yet either.
