To whom it may concern,
Over two weeks ago I emailed the following message to the postgraduate office regarding my application and I have not yet heard a response. I have forwarded this message with the previous email to both the registry and music department for their consideration.
Please respond,
Laura Kishimoto
Really, all I want is a response. I don’t want to have to threaten a civil claim. I’m very disappointed that a “respected” institution is acting this way. I’m not asking for anything drastic. Julie says I should SEO these posts so that they override Guildhall’s pages. Amusingly malicious, but not my style.
Again, disappointed.

To whom it may concern,
I submitted an application for entry into the postgraduate music program (MMus Performance - Early Music Soprano) in October of 2006, with my recording following soon after. With this I had paid an application fee of L56. My reference number was 0700974.
On May 13th of this year I had sent an inquiry about when I might hear my result, as I had time-sensitive offers of admission to other UK schools. Richard Jerrom prompty replied:
“Your audition CD will be heard by an Early Music panel later this month [May] when other candidates are being considered. We will let you know the outcome of this audition as soon as possible”
It is now midway through August and I have heard no result through post, email, nor phone. I am no longer interested in attending Guildhall, regardless of application result.
I feel that my application fee entitled me to the courtesy of a response. I would like to request a refund of my initial fee. I understand this payment is applied toward processing costs, but as I have received no result I can only assume it that my package did not finish this process.
Sincerely,
Laura Kishimoto
It’s a shame, really. Once I really wanted to go there.

Long story short, I’m going to the University of York in the fall. Exciting. :) Want to know more? Ask me later… I’ve gone over it so many time lately! And I applied for this:
Vinson Assistantship for Internet Services (£4,000)
This post entails about 11 hours work per week, developing and maintaining the department websites and assisting in running web-related systems. The assistant will have considerable scope in proposing changes to the sites and in applying and enhancing personal skills in web design and related areas. Applicants must be proficient in coding HTML. Familiarity with PHP, MySql, Photoshop or similar programmes will be a distinct advantage.
I can’t see that many/any of the other postgraduate in students would have those skills, so I do I hope I get the placement. Being an international student on a student visa, it would be nice to get a few hours of legal work on campus, some monetary subsidy for my outrageous fees, and a chance to keep doing webstuffs!
Yay.
