i myself have been looking for this thread and have been unsuccessful. Saw a couple people mention it over the past day or so on the 2022 one.

so here we go, albeit a bit late.

has everyone visited all the schools on their lists?

how many schools are everyone applying to?

what schools are you applying to?

how is the preparation going?

i know some exams have taken place, how did they go?

wishing all the whirls good luck with preparation and exams, hope we all find the right schools for our daughters.

Sorry my bad, it's on a general email I got from them

Dallasdays · 02/12/2022 20:30

It's on the website...

Daydreamscometrue · 02/12/2022 20:29

@Dallasdays how did you find out?

Dallasdays · 02/12/2022 20:22

@Daydreamscometrue w.c 9 Jan apparently....

Daydreamscometrue · 02/12/2022 19:57

@SamPoodle123 not sure when we'll hear from Emanuel. I know a few are sitting the exam next Friday. Interviews are mid January so I don't imagine before Christmas??

Daydreamscometrue · 02/12/2022 19:55

@snowgirl1 fingers crossed for your dd at the other schools you've applied to. It's so rough on them.

QuiteAJourney · 02/12/2022 19:43

@snowgirl1 , sorry to hear.
Stay strong - keeping fingers crossed for you and your DD.

secondaryquandries · 02/12/2022 19:42

Sorry to hear that snowgirl. I'm sure that it will all work out in the end. Sending lots of luck.

snowgirl1 · 02/12/2022 19:36

We haven't told DD she hasn't made it to the next round of Surbiton yet. We've got two applications to go - but one was aspirational and the other has increased in popularity, so it's not looking good.

Didsomeonesay · 02/12/2022 19:20

@snowgirl1 oh gosh I’m so sorry. That’s really sad to hear. :-( hope she’s ok. It’s a brutal process.

SamPoodle123 · 02/12/2022 19:20

@snowgirl1 how many other schools did she apply to? Does she have back ups? We have to wait until early Jan to hear back. The wait feels like forever and I am nervous.

SamPoodle123 · 02/12/2022 19:19

Emanuel exam went well and they made it very pleasant. My dd was super happy coming out. Really hoping she gets invited for stage 2! Do we know when to expect news?

Congrats to everyone who found out they made it to stage 2 today.

snowgirl1 · 02/12/2022 18:56

DD hasn't made it to interview stage for Surbiton. I'm so disappointed for her 😭

secondaryquandries · 02/12/2022 18:53

Congratulations on Surbiton!

confu5ed · 02/12/2022 18:46

@Didsomeonesay congratulations!!!!

Delighted that DD has also got an interview. It’s been a good evening x

Daydreamscometrue · 02/12/2022 18:39

@QuiteAJourney thank you!

QuiteAJourney · 02/12/2022 18:24

@Didsomeonesay congrats on Surbiton!

QuiteAJourney · 02/12/2022 18:23

@confu5ed and @Daydreamscometrue congrats on Ibstock!

Didsomeonesay · 02/12/2022 18:05

The wait is over. It’s a YES to interview for DD for Surbiton. PHEW!!! Phase 1 complete.

Daydreamscometrue · 02/12/2022 17:45

@confu5ed congratulations!

confu5ed · 02/12/2022 17:44

@Daydreamscometrue damn none of our schools have given a festive cookie! Xmas EnvyXmas Grin

Daydreamscometrue · 02/12/2022 17:23

@NellyCortado thanks and congratulations to you too! @secondaryquandries yes it was a festive cookie 😂

NellyCortado · 02/12/2022 17:15

@Didsomeonesay - hoping you get good news. The waiting is so painful.
@Daydreamscometrue - brilliant news, very well done!

secondaryquandries · 02/12/2022 17:11

Ooh maybe we should have applied for Emanuel. Cookie and highlighters sound good! 😆
