    hey do you know many who were on the reserve list that got onto the course?
    hi! I think there were quite a few. There are more that get on from the adult reserve list but that is probably because there are more places available compared to children's. You can ring queens and ask what score you got in your interview. This will give you a bit of an idea as to how close you are to the top of the list. (The interview is marked out of 25 i think.) They will take students with the highest grades and the highest score in the interview.

    Queens can let you know right up until September if you have got in because some people drop out just before the course starts or in the first induction week when they find out what it involves. So don't panic if you still haven't heard anything by late August.

    Tho they put a lot of people on the reserve list...they give very few conditional offers. But if you find out your score you can see where abouts you are. This might put your mind at ease! But don't panic as queens are more keen to put people on reserve list than give an offer for some reason.

    Hope this helps! xo

    Hi Lilo. If you give Queens a call the girls in the office are usually very friendly as last year when I was applying I had to ring a few times as letter and things weren't sent to me etc. If you explain to them they might be able to help. Worst care scenario is that they could hold your place to February (if you are for the adult intake). Tho they might be able to arrange some special arrangements with your college etc to prove that you will get the grades needed. Hope you get sorted and congrats for getting an offer. xx

    I only got 38/50 and people are sitting on 44/50...pretty much everyone is in the 40s so they will get any offers first which is fair enough! There are 304 on the reserve list so i guess this year just isnt my year, think im gonna just accept my offer for stirling and go there
