2020 PRE-SCREEN THREAD

akapiratequeen · December 24, 2019, 6:23pm

FWIW I don’t remember my son getting an email from Eastman…he saw results on either the portal or Acceptd, I forget which. Good luck!

Doransa · December 24, 2019, 7:42pm

When we heard from Eastman, he got an email from Eastman indicating there is a status update on his application. Then he logged in and checked the status.

Doransa · December 24, 2019, 7:47pm

@akapiratequeen and @khill87 we are saying the same. We reserved hotels and plane tickets. Still did not get Missouri tickets. Hoping they will drop a bit. I think he might be going alone to that one.

The scary thing to me is that the first auditions are three weeks away (more or less!). Hoping that the weather cooperates and there isn’t a repeat of “snowpocalypse” from 2016. We were stuck in Houston for 4 days as all the east coast airports were closed. Ended up flying to Pittsburgh and driving home (outside Philly) because we just couldn’t stand any more cancellations and delays!

MezzoMama · December 24, 2019, 9:08pm

How did you know you were rejected from Eastman? Do they email you that too?

MezzoMama · December 24, 2019, 9:11pm

UCLA auditions confirmed 1.25

Be sure to check your spam folders. That’s where my daughter’s CCM audition email was. She could have missed it if I hadn’t seen that other people received theirs on here!

MezzoDadbynight · December 24, 2019, 10:11pm

My daughter did receive an email from Eastman stating that she had passed her prescreens. I am not sure if they send out emails stating that people didn’t make the prescreens. I would defer to @akapiratequeen for that question.

runninglate · December 24, 2019, 10:11pm

Hooray for a Jacobs date! - 2/7

coloraturagirl · December 24, 2019, 10:24pm

We received an email from Eastman too. A very detailed email with a lot of instructions- we mailed her music today priority and I paid the accompanist fee immediately. We have a very particular day we need to do it so we can get to other auditions on the east coast. Hope it all comes together.

2427Mom · December 25, 2019, 5:08am

Eastman and other universities will send out an email to your “Updates” or “Promotions” sections stating shortly that there is an update to your portal status. If they invite you to on-campus auditions, they will send a detailed long email to your email in the “Inbox” section with instructions.

2427Mom · December 25, 2019, 5:09am

My D signed up for 1/24 on UCLA audition, however she is required to perform a 60-min audition; the slots only allow 15 mins for a slot. Why is this? Anyone has any ideas?

tableforsix · December 25, 2019, 6:19am

This is shaping up to be an absolutely marvelous landscape of possibilities for everyone! I haven’t forgotten about the acceptance thread. I’ll jump on that after Christmas.

MezzoMama · December 25, 2019, 10:18am

I am not sure where Updates or Promotion Section are on the portal. I am just seeing my daughter’s application and no other information. I also check the email and SPAM. I will probably call them in a few days and send an email as well.

compmom · December 25, 2019, 11:54am

I think @2427Mom meant the promotions part of your email, not the portal, but someone can clarify.

2427Mom · December 25, 2019, 1:00pm

@“Mezzo’sMama” not on the portal, but the Promotions/Updates in your email (if you have Gmail, I’m not sure about other email platforms).

MomOfSingers · December 25, 2019, 6:56pm

My son is a bass-barritone and has so far has auditions for:
