<p>When will the Tx State “wait listers” be notified?</p>
<p>they should have been notified by yesterday!</p>
<p>When will they send official rejections? Obviously if you haven’t heard it’s over, but let’s just put the nail in the coffin :/</p>
<p>I know it’s tough 
they said they made all acceptances and wait lists by Wednesday, but rejections will be sent out the next week by email.</p>
<p>Just got my rejections from CCM (which I was expecting- they literally emailed me saying that I didn’t attend my audition when I did!) and Baldwin Wallace. The Baldwin Wallace one hurt pretty bad. I hated that I fell in love with the school, and unfortunately I had an upper respiratory infection when I auditioned and couldn’t stop coughing. I really wish I had auditioned when I wasn’t sick because I feel like it might have made a real difference, but who can say for sure.</p>
<p>My D only auditioned at 4 schools. She got rejections from Ball State BFA MT, and Millikin BFA MT. They accepted her into their BA Theatre programs.</p>
<p>We have not received any rejections but 5 acceptances. Wondering if the mail will just be a stack of thin envelopes. We are happy with the options she has thus far but knowing that calls are out and then a week or two later no letter or email notice…keeps you hoping for a waitlist. Which we have two.</p>
<p>There isn’t a score sheet for acceptances. All you need is the One program that needs you. :)</p>
<p>Amen Walker1194!! :)</p>
<p>My D was not called back to University of Minnesota and received a rejection e-mail for the BFA program at end of February.
She has also received a rejection from SUNY Purchase BFA program.
We are assuming she is rejected from CMU due to posts that phone calls have gone out, but have not received an official rejection (has anyone else?)
Waiting on USC, UCLA, Fordham, DePaul, Boston, and NYU (any news on any of these?)
Accepted at Chapman University by audition as well as several other non-audition back ups (UCSB, U of Minn BA, SUNY BA)</p>
<p>I can’t speak for the other schools, but I know that NYU typically sends out acceptances on the Friday before April 1st, which would be next Friday, March 29. That’s not to say that they will definitely be released on that date this year, just that has been the case in the past.</p>
<p>We’re finally nearing the end of this year’s wait for notifications! Phew!</p>
<p>This is the true “March Madness”…</p>
<p>So far we’ve received rejections. This is after passing pre-screens, getting call backs etc etc. S is accepted into a non audition school that has good program, but feeling very blue about not having choices and all the time, energy (and don’t forget $!) that has gone into traveling etc. Still waiting on a few more, but thinking about encouraging him to pursue another career! (jk, thats not an option). Is anyone else in this position or are we alone???</p>
<p>Daphne1 - whether you hear from anyone else or not, you are far from alone! It is all a crap shoot, your son has little control over the end result, and it is NOT personal or a reflection of his ability now or in the future. I know it is depressing at this moment but in 6 months (or less) it will be a blip in his personal history and he will be ready to take on the world. This was a learning experience for him and will help him to develop that thick skin talked about in another thread. Good luck, you never know what the last few schools will do. Oh, and congratulate yourselves for having that non-audition safety!</p>
<p>amtc’s post hits the mark!</p>
<p>Daphne1 - exactly a year ago, my D was in the same position - all 3 rejections from schools we would have thought her safety schools (and she only applied in 7 audition schools!). If she did not make it in those first 3 schools, what more for her reach schools? It was scary. She was already thinking of doing a gap year, fly to NYC and attend whatever theater-related program is available. And like your S, another career was not an option. The following day (Saturday morning our time), she received her first ever acceptance via email and followed by another two of her top schools the following week. If you are still waiting for results from some school, don’t lose hope. And with what happened with my D, I believe she was meant to be in the school where she is now. Her top school did not give her any scholarship – so it was the deciding factor for her to choose the school where she is now. Good luck with your son and hang in there!</p>
<p>Daphne, based on my audition and scholarship visits with my D, I would tell your son two things. One, there are several schools that will re-audition for the BFA once they are freshman, so I would check with schools he’s accepted to about that option. Second, I met at least 4 kids at different schools who started out as BFA majors and switched to the BA track once they got into college because they found their interests changed once they started taking some classes. I know he will find his way.</p>
<p>Daphne1, we are in exactly the same boat. 5 rejections with 4 to hear from. To make matters worse, my son’s friend and sometimes co-star/sometimes competitor since they were 11 years old, has offers from four schools including one that my son was rejected by quickly. </p>
<p>The director at the regional youth theatre they have both participated in heavily is completely baffled. I have my own theories involving height (6’2" vs 5’4") and natural vocal range ( tenor vs baritone) but that’s a different discussion. </p>
<p>We are just starting to approach the 'what-if’s with him. His confidence is ebbing. It’s hard for those around him to watch because he has always been held up as an example in his work ethic and professionalism to the younger actors around him. </p>
<p>I hope to read through past posts here to see what others have done in the past when faced with this dilemma. I also hope that he considers that the rejection will be constant if he chooses this path.</p>
<p>randav2 and Daphne1, I feel your pain and stress. We started out very badly in this whole process with the first four out of five answers being rejections. Here we were going into this with a boy who not only sings very well but has been dancing since age 4 (tap, jazz and ballet). We were thrown off when not only was he not accepted to Hartt but did not even receive a deferment to later in the audition season (we auditioned in December) to compare him to others they have not yet seen…it was quite clear they were not interested. Sadly, he felt he auditioned very well. Those were followed by other rejections all at mid way through the auditions with mid day cuts. It shakes everyone’s confidence to the core and we found ourselves second guessing everything…audition songs, talent, everything! Each time he felt he auditioned very well.
Fortunately, he has received three other acceptances …four total so the second half of the process was much more positive but I can share your stress and I am so keeping my fingers crossed for your children. I am hoping the remaining responses will be positive for you both.</p>
<p>I seriously think that one of the toughtest “wake up call” moments in this whole process is when you realize that your kid who has always been a role model, a star, the kid that all the other kids look up to (or resent, if it’s a girl!) is somehow just not being recognized in the bigger pool. </p>
<p>I agree that it doesn’t necessarily say one thing about their level of ability or their talent. It’s just the way the chips fall sometimes. We’ve all heard it until we’re sick of it. Sometimes it’s about “type” and sometimes it’s about personality, and sometimes it IS about talent. Almost always it’s at least a little bit about luck.</p>
<p>Regardless, it serves as a cautionary tale for future classes. Cast that net far and wide and make sure you include one (or more) of every type of program out there because you just cannot tell which auditors are going to “get” your kid!</p>
