We received an offer today too! Just waiting for one more, which I believe will be next week (KGS). At least it’s one in the bag.

Congrats @Taurus23 ! Liked the fact that Surbiton put the news in the subject line otherwise I’d have been too scared to open the email 😆

We are also a yes for Surbiton! Literally leapt out of my seat in the office! Think I’m losing the plot!

Great news! Jumps of excitement fully justified!

@Redapples81 okay good! It will be a very exciting and nerve wracking morning! I will probably spend all morning pressing refresh.

SamPoodle123 · 03/02/2023 14:06

@Redapples81 crossing fingers for you! I can not believe we will find out in one week! Wish it were today.

I wonder what time schools will send emails out. I hope someone sends first thing in the morning and not all waiting until later in the day!

Judging by the last time I did this, they all emailed first thing…..we knew all by 10am.

SamPoodle123 · 03/02/2023 14:08

Also, I hope there are not a huge delay with offers sending out! For the interview emails, some people got Putney 2pm and my email came like 10pm at night! Although, my dh got the Putney interview email at 2:30pm so at least I was not left hanging until 10pm....

Hi all, I’ve just been a lurker. Your thread has been very helpful these past few weeks. I have to say this last week is going to be very tough.

Well done to everyone who has got offers !!

@Didsomeonesay via email. I know some people who haven't heard yet so must be filtering through the afternoon I'd imagine.

underthesea3 · 03/02/2023 13:56

We just got Reeds (and Radnor last night). What a rollercoaster of emotions! Sending luck to everyone on the thread- its a tough time😬

Didsomeonesay · 03/02/2023 13:50

Well done on Surbiton and Reeds offers/waitlist!

DS has a place at Reeds - so thrilled! No post yet, but the email just arrived.

@EweCee - similar feelings here. Didn't realise quite how stressed I was. Such a relief to have an offer.

Many congratulations! Well done to your DS!

SamPoodle123 · 03/02/2023 13:34

Lol. That is what I was thinking. But I also thought, don't they need to sit down and look at everything together (exam scores, reference, interview)? Or do they have that information when doing the interview and the teacher doing the interview can tick yes or no for each applicant as they go 😂

Show quote history

Who knows, it’s all such a big mystery. We got a “see you soon” after an interview………probably a slip of the tongue but words that my DD has remembered with hope.

we will know in a week today. ‘Yikes’ does not do justice to the fear I feel right to my very core.

Great news @EweCee and @mootwo wonderful end to the week!!
