Technical theatre / stage management (2017 entry)

hey wooll3y thanks for your reply, how long after your RADA interview roughly did you hear back with a holding letter?


Posted from TSR Mobile

I made some phone calls and Bristol Old Vic offered me a place!! Omg Wooll3y this is gonna be so cool meeting u irl lol 😄

Congrats! It is going to be cool ☺️ I've already started looking for places to live because the longer I leave it, the less choice I'll have. But the thing is I haven't found anywhere that I really like and is a decent price

Do you know if there'll be an accommodation day? I really want to meet people first before I decide who to live with lol

I have had an offer from Mountview, with a 14 day deadline, which is about to expire. Unfortunately I didn't get offered at place at Guildhall which was my top choice but I am still waiting for RADA. I rang Mountview and asked if I had to accept before any other offers came in. I was told that if I accepted Mountview and then changed my mind it would cause 'major problems' Now I don't know what to do. If I got RADA that is where I would prefer to go. If I don't accept Mountview by Monday, I run the risk of losing my place. Any advice?

Try asking for an extension on your deadline, as you haven't received all your offers yet. Bristol Old Vic realised that many of their applicants had not received results from other institutes and they have since extended the deadline

I just rang. One thing is that I'm out of the country at the moment and won't be back for a month. They said I could delay my acceptance by a month (but this was informal - they didn't even take my name) and that I'd "probably be OK anyway until June" but I could also accept and then withdraw if I get a better offer but they don't like this much. The last time I phoned them last week and spoke to a different person when I asked if I accepted but changed my mind they said it would cause "major problems". It is anxious making So I think I may delay acceptance until I get home in a month and hope I will know more from RADA by then. If I haven't heard by then, I think I will accept Mountview. I had a holding letter from RADA in January but since then I've had nothing. I think they send out holding letters every so often, after a group of interviews, so like a weeding out process but it could be ages to wait.

Thanks for your helpful reply

I would ring up RADA and explain your situation to them cos this is what happened to me with my Mountview offer. It resulted in me getting offered a place at Bristol after I rang them, even though they told me originally that I'd have to wait until May to hear as I'd been shortlisted. Even if RADA reject you, I'd say it's better to know now so you can accept Mountview and secure your place. Hope this helps 😊

Good advice. Thank you. I have emailed them but never got a reply - but I will phone on Monday now.

You're welcome, that's annoying when it is such a short deadline.
I hope you get the answer you want
How did you find your RADA interview?

Hey, has anyone applied for LAMDA and got an offer, would love to see who else as an offer

I have a shortlist for LAMDA but I'm accepting Bristol 😊
I think there are a few people talking about LAMDA in the actors' thread but idk about techies soz 😕

similar to Jazzy.J's post.... has anyone been accepted by RADA for technical theatre? would be good to start up a facebook chat soon!!

Tried ringing RADA today but the Admissions office is not taking calls, due to high volume of enquiries. So I have emailed them instead and explained that Mountview are pressing me to accept their offer. I don't expect it will speed things up however but at least if I haven't got into RADA it would be worth knowing so I could accept Mountview asap. But RADA is my preferred choice.
