Drama School/University Applicants 2011

That help?

Haha, that's good! did they say when they'd let you know by? xx

Nope they didn't, but it says on the website it can be several weeks... the Gregg Fisher gave me his E-mail if i needed to ask anything though, so i shall think of a couple more things to ask him and then Email awaaaay and find out ^.^ xx

Ahh okay, fair enoughhh... just let me know when you hear from them!!
Yeah, he did the same with me and another

I will do let me know if you hear anything too (if you havent already) juuust about to send the email xx

Just got my letter through inviting me to a third round at RADA. Can't stop thinking about it! anybody had a third round yet? what happens? anyone get RADA places yet?

I did rada's third round last year, we had to do some sight-reading, present new speeches and say it to each other and we also were given some shakespeare was about 3 hours long, are you only applying to rada? I'd seriously advise you to apply to other schools as well to give yourself the best chance of gaining a place at drama school, they cut a lot of applicants off at the the third stage and I mean a lot, last year nobody in my workshop group got through to the fourth stage and everybody was amazing, all the big schools are really competitive so it's a best you apply to a few of them, if you can afford it - if not best wishes and try to enjoy yourself and that goes to anybody at the recall stages.

for the popular schools excluding central and drama centre (beucase they are ucas based), you'll have to wait till about june/july because they want to attention everybody who applys before making a choice, i.e bristol, rada, lamda etc...

Drama Centre London for Directing (BA). Anyone else here the same? Even if you're applying for acting?

Will apply for RADA, too.

Like a lot of people, I have been scanning through this thread and the previous one reading everything has been posting and now I decided to come and post something of my very own! I used to be a student nurse but I've recently had a big chance of mind! Acting is something that I've been doing on and off since I was about fourteen, but never thought I was good enough for drama schools due to bullying and what not! Now, I want to follow my dream and try out!

I've done amateur theatre, couple of student films, a BTEC National Diploma and drama lessons locally, but nothing amazing! Is 24 too late to start 'doing the rounds'? xD

It's potentially a bit late in the year to apply (although it can't hurt to email any institutions you're interested in!), but 24 isn't too late at all! As long as you have the enthusiasm, some knowledge, and skills, you'll be fine! It would be worth getting involved in as much theatre as you can, in whatever way, either in local theatre or workshops or maybe even local schools? I know that my old school is more than happy to take on people if they get in touch, so it might be worth a try there! Have you had any thoughts on where you might want to go, and what sort of course you're looking for? Presumably a performance course?

I figured I'd be too late as I remember the UCAS due date was yesterday! xD I've been doing a lot of local theatre and am thinking of taking an acting exam to get myself an extra qualification if I don't get in this year! An acting/drama course is the thing I was looking at! I think because acting has so many young starters, I felt a bit intimidated! Maybe my age will work out for me?

I was hoping to get anywhere that will have me, to be honest! I did look at Central and the usual drama schools, but I was thinking at looking at universities this year too. I'm just crossing my fingers that I can apply to some other places that have a later deadline or turn up in Clearing!

What was your old school if you don't mind me asking?
