Should we have had an interview by now?

Post by Iamunanimous »

The date for hearing yes or no offer is Tuesday for Brentwood but we haven't heard from them for an interview. DD unsuccessful in getting second round drama scholarship and we got a letter for that but has anyone had an interview since the exam? Their notes say you MAY be called back for an interview, but is that for 'borderline' students or all successful ones? Each school is so different! :?: I know we've only got a few days to wait anyway but curious!

As far as I may aware from the tour we had, you would only be called back for an interview if they are considering you for a academic scholarship interview, otherwise an interview is not part of the admission process

They only call you back if your child is in the running for an academic scholarship, or is a borderline case. The interviews took place on Monday and Tuesday this week, and all the offers go out next week.

Good luck! :)

Thanks for your replies. I have subsequently heard through the grapevine of a non scholarship interview so can assume they were a borderline case. :D
