I’m literally sat here thinking the same thing! DreamBigSol. The singing part went fine for my daughter and the ear training but the interview could have gone better . I would be surprised if she got a place . Where are you based ? We are based in Greenwich borough . What is your dc’s specialism?

@valentina2026 its hard not to go over every bit of the audition & interview! We are OOC in Surrey so our chances are extremely small. My DC sings, plays piano & guitar and has written her own music but the standard is always extremely high! Is your DC a singer?

Its only been a few days and the wait is tough! 😂

I called and they said not to worry. At first they said it was a glitch in the system and when I told them that a friend has the ‘complete’ writing, they said that not all staff press on that button but not to worry because it has no relevance. Hopefully I can trust that all is good.

My child had the workshop/interview today and it went very well. I just logged in the application and next to the invite for today it now says ‘incomplete’. Before it showed ‘accepted’. Why is that?

Yes I feel exhausted ! Glad it is done xx

DreamBigSol · 26/02/2026 19:29

I think its normal but Im not 100%

QuedateLuna · 26/02/2026 19:24

DreamBigSol · 26/02/2026 18:47

Thats interesting..I think the 'accepted' would have been phase 1, now you'll need in phase 2 so its not been decided yet

So do you think it’s just normal or should I call them?

I don't know about anyone else, but my brain hurts after today and I'm so glad its over!

Just wonder if anyone's DC doing DA? On the open day they said it would be an interview and a workshop. But my DD got a task to do as part of her application and scheduled 20 minutes interview. Just want to confirm it's the same for other DA applicants

Okeil · 25/02/2026 20:38

They told my DD they would hear back either way by 3rd week March for post 16 VAD

DreamBigSol · 25/02/2026 20:32

So sorry to hear that. But your DC still has a chance to apply for Year 12, it's just 2 years apart.
