And Yes for GL too

TidyLion · 14/02/2025 10:02

Alleyn’s with a scholarship confirmed ✅ 😊

Dallasdays · 14/02/2025 10:01

Well done @SunnyDay33 on KGS! We are waiting on that, LU and GL. Did you get an email from GL?

SamPoodle123 · 14/02/2025 09:56

And finally, the Dulwich email arrived.

SunnyDay33 · 14/02/2025 09:52

KGS arrived by post! And yes, so happy as it was no from G&L this morning

@5daysleft I've posted this before, but last year when we were going through this, some schools did send positive emails in dribs and drabs. Sometimes because there are different attachments (eg scholarships or bursaries) and sometimes because (we were told) the email server just couldn't cope with them all going out at once. We were in the same position last year when we knew from here that offers were out for our top choice school but we didn't hear for about half an hour, I think. And it was good news. So don't get too despondent yet (though I know the wait is awful).

Us too. Our interview email came at 16.02 when others had been out for ages…

Ours came out 16.03! 😂It felt like AGES

11plus2nd · 14/02/2025 09:48

Yes from LUS for us too.

SamPoodle123 · 14/02/2025 09:41

I am feeling the same and for the interviews we had a two hour delay for getting our email from LU...

Congratulations on all the offers. We finally have all four results, and all positive!!! Two of them included partial bursaries, which were our DD top 1, so it will be easier to make a decision

Congratulations on all the offers everyone!

Do any of the second time round parents know if LU sends out the yeses first and then the nos or is it more random? I’ve seen from old threads that the offers come out so slowly over the whole afternoon and I’m not sure I can take it…

Congrats!! So pleased for you. What a nice end after the Forest nonsense.

Rocktheboatbaby · 14/02/2025 09:32

City Girls is out. It’s a yes for us. It’s one of our top three. So relieved!

11PlusCraziness · 14/02/2025 09:30

@DagaDiga Congrats! So pleased for you and DC after the Forest debacle!

CLSG is out

meuntilmarch2025 · 14/02/2025 09:26

Latymer and CLSG are out!

NoMoreFalafelForYou · 14/02/2025 09:26

Anyone heard from Ibstock yet?

Namechangenancy99 · 14/02/2025 09:26

Channing out. A yes here for us but not top school for us (QC is by far favourite) so will be declining over weekend.

so glad this day has come. No more expected here for us today. All schools had offers, 2 out of 3 scholarships applied for awarded…. And to think a few months ago we were very worried there would be no offers at all!

SamPoodle123 · 14/02/2025 09:18

Sass22 · 14/02/2025 09:04

No news for us yet. I know where this is going.

What are you waiting for? And just a reminder that emails don't reach everyone the same time....good luck!!

GummyNut · 14/02/2025 09:17

Channing is out.
