Such a long stint at city - 6 hours! They must have long gaps between the papers. Last one for DS today though.

And another one here. Not quite our last, we are doing Westminster Under too but prefer City (by a long way). Wish could find out City result before WU test date and then might not bother. (Counting chickens though since not finished his day and no invite to interview yet.)

its a long day mainly because aside from the tests. The boys are put in groups given a number of tasks to complete.. just observing how they interact with each other. Hope it all went well today.

Did you have a son doing it, *agatha*. Mine has. Tired. Upset he couldn't finish English (ran out of time and he said it was very hard). Ah well.

He's got interview offers from his other two so far, so (generally) he has been doing something right, but City our favourite so here's hoping. They keep you waiting though. No interview call for two weeks!

Its been a long two weeks, hasn't it, and still 2 more days til the letter arrives. Thought I'd bump this to get some hand-holding going.

Thanks ClappedOutMum, this is what we need! I'm not feeling positive...... There seemed to be so many boys there, I wonder what the ratio of applicants to interviews is this year?

I know boys anxiously waiting who in the meantime have had interviews at Habs and MTS. They do run the risk of their applicants getting absorbed into other schools by making them wait so long. DG
