Sorry, another query. We applied to St Helen's but didn't sit there. Will it take longer for them to get our marks? Those that have heard, did you sit at St Helen's?

Not sure, but we are interviewing at NLCS and haven't heard either way. I'm not sure you'll have much joy figuring this out, it may be entirely random according to which papers got marked first- who knows?

Having just heard news of an exceptionally bright girl getting a phone call on Saturday inviting her to interview next week I'd say it's pretty likely that the kids in line for scholarships are the ones contacted by telephone and that the letters follow for the balance of the children. However no news is good news so no point worrying it's not going to change the outcome that's for sure.

What other interviews has this girl had? I know some who heard about St Helens yesterday who also have NCLS so maybe they are calling those first so they know they have other options when they go into interview. DG

Just a thought but do you think that it is likely to be more dependent on who else in the consortium you have applied for? I would have thought where you sat and where else you applied for within the Consortium would be more likely to influence when you are called than whether you also applied to NLCS. Of course, I am probably totally wrong!

The child I know who has an interview has only applied for St H's, also has a dead cert place at a state selective. Has anyone who is still waiting to hear had the nerve to actually call the school and ask them whether it's phone call or letter or both?
