    Has everyone heard back yet? Just asking bcuz I haven't heard anything yet. Getting nervous that I got lost in the mix.

    I've not heard anything either :( couldn't they expand it to let everyone in? Feeling a bit gutted now. x

    I think they already have expanded when they opened back up for this term. It's most likely a lot of work. And they weren't prepared maybe for the amount of people who signed up.

    How can we keep up to date with future terms? Can we give someone our email and they do a group thing, or do we just try and keep a look out for a thread?

    If you have applied and haven't got in to start term off, you will be waitlisted for openings that come up throughout the term. Also, students on the waitlist get advanced notification by owl (PM) when enrolment opens for upcoming terms.

    I applied several days ago and did not get a message. With so many that want to be involved can't they expand enrollment??/

    I will contact you privately regarding your application.

    With regards to expanding the enrolment, the Hogwarts Challenge is quite involved and all the people behind the scenes do this voluntarily. We all have full time jobs etc in the muggle world as well, and have found that 35 students per house is manageable without being too overwhelming. I'm sure you can understand.

    Please be aware that if you are not accepted with the first round of enrolments you will be waitlisted for positions that come up in the student body throughout the term. Trust me - they do come up!

    I was accepted into Ravenclaw but my old account got deleted the same day I was in the group. My user was fullspring72

    I'll let your prefect know of the change to your account.

    @peejaygee1 If we haven't heard yet, it's safe to assume we did not get in?

    No, your prefect will be in contact in the coming days to let you know whether you were accepted or waitlisted. You will hear from us either way.

    Who says you're too old?? How can we ever be too old for a good story? I still re-read all the Harry Potter books every year or so, and can't pass up one of the movies on TV -- even though we own all the dvds! rofl. :)

    I do tooooooo! You're so right :D

    People who applied within the last few days, do they have a chance to get in?

  • Posts: 3,588 Member
    Everyone who applies has the opportunity to get in, even if you're on the waiting list. Also, if you apply and for some reason don't get in this term, you will be notified in advance of upcoming terms.

    This challenge is amazing. I'm anxiously awaiting my owl.

    Ahhh! I'm so excited to have come across this tonight. I've done a HP themed Craftalong for a couple years now and I am PUMPED to have found a HP weight loss challenge. Although, from what I'm hearing there may be alot of waitlisted people. :/ Here's to hoping I'm one of the lucky ones!

    This looks incredible, I can't wait to meet my house.

    Applied but I don't think the form was letting me submit. Oh well bummer, I was probably too late applying, what a fun idea. I've been a Harry Potter nerd for years. I was 11 when the first book came out, so I was hooked hard from day 1.

    Sounds like such great fun, applied, patiently waiting

    I applied to Slytherin and haven't heard back either way. It looks like Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are full? Anyone else hear from the others?

    I'm gonna be a dork and a thread hijacker and post a link here to the Divergent Challenge that is starting soon. If you were waitlisted perhaps you'd like to join us over there?

    If it turns out you get in to Hogwarts, they are run differently so it is not difficult to do both. :smile:

    ETA: as I was typing this I got my letter. hold on to your hope!
