I have not heard of anyone getting calls or emails from St Helens yet, just Highgate, St Margarets, Channing, NLCS , Westminster and Habs boys. DG

We heard from them on Saturday afternoon to be called back for interview. I know of one more girl who is called in as well.

Do they only phone the girls who've done exceptionally well/in line for the scholarships ? Do they send letters to everyone else? It's hard not to worry when you hear there's been communication when you're not heard anything. I know from experience with the boys' schools that they send the rejection letters and interview letters at the same time.

Same questions here. Do they call girls who have also tried for nlcs first. Nlc have interviews starting onMonday - so would make sense for St. Helens to approach them first before they completely set their hearts on nlc.

I can't answer your questions but I was surprised to be called a day after the 11+ test. I am assuming DD did ok in the test though she found it harder than the other consortium test.

Does your surname start with letter A . Just out if interest as there is a possibility that they call alphabetically.
