KES interview calls

Post by GrafvonSponeck »

Have the KES scholarship interview calls started? I have heard that if you dont get a call before half term it means you are not in consideration for an academic scholarship (as opposed to AP). Does anyone know if its true?

I believe they have GrafvonSponeck. I received a passing note from our previous tutors confirming the same.

So scholarship calls out first and then assisted places? Not heard anything yet here.

I was under the impression that interviews will start first week of November. Since that date is closing in on us, the earliest they would start making calls would be next week, unless the volume of interviews have increased. All this waiting/worry is very unhealthy.

Has it ever happened that your offered AP without an interview?

I have it on good authority that some children have received invitation for scholarship interview. But not entirely sure when they will be conducted.

Thank you MSD, it's good to hear they have started calling. I'm sure they are working hard calling so many applicants', that will be interviewed week beginning the 5th of November and beyond. They have indicated, interviews will start on that date. Either way it's good news, that there is some news. :D

MSD - do you know by any chance how many boys are usually interviewed for how many scholarships?
