Hi all! Iâm new here and kind of freaking out, LOL. Iâm the parent of a senior and she is applying to 8 schools total. So far weâve heard from 4 and no prescreens passed (Emerson was a re-direct to acting). Weâre still waiting to hear from others, but now Iâm freaking out that sheâs not going to get into any! I know everyone thinks their kids are talented, but sheâs made national and regional honors choirs and also gotten awards for acting, etc. so Iâm a little surprised that she hasnât even made one callback yet.
Any thoughts on the chances for her remainders? List is below:
Emerson (re-direct to acting)
Pace (no)
Carnegie Mellon (no)
Ithaca (no)
Hartt
NYU Steinhardt
Boco
University of New Hampshire
University of Southern Maine
Hartt is where she really wants to be.

Donât freak out, lol. But, my advice is to definitely apply to more schools. It isnât too late. Most of those schools on your list are reach schools. Apply to some target and safety schools, too. Lots of great schools and programs out there.

well first of all, her noâs are all from reach reach schools, whereas some of her not heard yet schools are much less competitive. Thinking specifically the last two on her list.
having said that, see if you can add at least one non audition school that sheâd be okay withâŠMuhlenberg and DeSales were my daughterâs safeties last year.
Hope that helps!!

Thatâs a relief! Thanks!
Thank you!! She wanted to stay closer to home, so that limited her school choices quite a bit. Do you know anything about Hartt? Thatâs her dream school actually but I canât really find a lot of info on their acceptance rates, etc.

Hartt is kinda considered a âmiddleââŠnot reach reach, but still competitive. Has she been there yet to audition? Some schools will tell you on audition day exactly what their rates are. Michigan led with thisâŠas in, donât get your hopes too high lol!!!

I canât imagine her not getting into the last 2 schools, but they definitely are not where she really wants to be, so I just want her to be able to make a choice and not just take what she gets, but I also understand itâs just a highly competitive program anywhere. Do you know anything about Hartt and their prescreen acceptance rates or anything?

are the last two audition based? BC you want at least one school that doesnât depend on auditions. I donât know much about them. Remembering ofc that academic and artistic acceptances can be very different!

Ah, thank you! Not yet, she sent in her prescreen audition material a little over a week ago so she doesnât know yet if sheâll be called for an in-person audition. She definitely benefits from in-person, she just shines (from what other people have told me) so Iâd love for her to get the chance to show them in person.

Hi everyone! Here is the thread from last year about notifications for final decisions. Remembering schools can change from year to year of course, but they do tend to follow patterns. Here it is:

Academically sheâs already gotten into USM with an honors award for financial aid. All of them have prescreens, I havenât come across any school without a prescreen requirement?

some donât have prescreens or even auditions! If you would like I can recommend someone who is a friend who does consultations who is not overpriced and would likely just do a one time look at your list with you. Sheâs absolutely brilliant and super super kind. Just lmk

That might be a great idea, thank you for the offer! Iâll see if sheâs interested in pursuing that. This is so stressful!!!
What I know about Hartt is they seem to have a reputable MT program. They are competitive, but not as competitive as reach schools. My D applied there on 11/5 and got a prescreen yes about 2 weeks ago. She has a virtual audition scheduled for 2/21. Good luck to your D!

itâs really really stressful and most of us get SOME help along the way in the form of a coach or consultant, even if itâs just for the list. If you private message me your email when you have decided I will forward you her contact info!!
