I believe that they'll ring until they fill up a certain number of interview slots for next week. If they fill them by lunchtime they'd be happy bunnies, but that is their task today - to ensure that their interview slots for Mon-Thurs or so are full.

From Monday onwards many of the calls come in the evening as they know that they're more likely to get an answer.

Thank you, Ladymuck. :)

We've just had a phone call from Whitgift, interview on Thursday. I know it's not a guarantee of anything, but I am sooo happy I cried.

Thank you Moormum, maybe we will see each other at school? We are going in early in the morning - how about you?

No news for us yet. Are the calls made on the basis of marks obtained?

No news for us yet either. Keep telling myself that not all calls will be made today - but doesn't make the wait any easier! I am wondering if they will still be making calls at this time?

I know it is a very anxious wait, but if you see Ladymuck's post a bit earlier on, she said it could take a while and the wait was no reflection of how well the boys did. Trinity said something similar in their letter they handed out on the exam day. Good luck!
