<p>I don't know any of you but I must say a huge congrats goes out to all of you who were accepted to musical theater programs and especially those who have been accepted to their first choice. As a parent, I am sure your families are just thrilled for you and very proud! It takes a huge burden off of them too. Just knowing you are able to follow your dreams is so fortunate. </p>
<p>For those parents also that have children that have not gotten into any musical theater programs they have auditioned for, just know that you are not alone. My daughter applied early decision to NYU/Tisch and Early Entry to Elon. She didn't get into NYU her dream school for the past three years and she didn't get into Elon musical theater, just Theater if she gets into the college, which see will know on the 15th. And she is extremely talented. Your heart just breaks for your children as we remind them to get back up and there is more auditioning to do come January and February. Unfortunately, you see others that have been accepted into MANY schools and you are sure they are extremely talented but you start to wonder if they are showcasing themselves with the best material. We are from a small town and even though my D has accomplished many things, she really doesn't have anyone in the area who REALLY knows what a musical theater audition needs. </p>
<p>Anyway, I just wanted to remind those kids that everyday login here to see that so many others are getting accepted that you need to keep plugging away and doing the best you can with what you have.</p>
<p>Again.... A huge "Way to Go!" to all of you who were accepted! Congrats again and best of luck! I know you all deserve it.</p>
<p>To cindystamps4u; </p>
<p>My heart goes out to you & your daughter....I sincerely think that the kids auditioning are most talented and that it certainly is a #'s game. No one should give up!!! As a parent of a beautiful/talented D who has worked so hard and so far has 1 deferral, this is truly a difficult heartbreaking process. All we can do is give hugs and move on. GREAT LUCK to all those waiting...may the New Year bring you an acceptance post (&/or more). ;-)</p>
<p>I copied & pasted (from AllFSU) the below for all who have already decided...& congrats! </p>

<p>A quick public service announcement for those of you who find yourself in the wonderful position of acceptance to your top choice school:</p>
<p>If you decide to cancel some (or all) of your future auditions it is really helpful if you cancel your appointments as soon as possible.
Many schools have wait lists for appointments now (some are quite lengthy) and you will be opening up an opportunity for another student to audition for a program that might turn out to be <em>their</em> dream school.</p>
<p>Congratulations and best wishes to all!</p>

<p>CONGRATS to all those with good news!
and...
<<<hugs>>> to cindystamps4u's D! It's been said here before, but the primary downside to all the wonderful info available here on cc is all the wonderful info available here on cc. It's hard to read about the success of so many others when you are sitting at home with a talented D who has not gotten into her dream school. I'm sure good things will happen soon for her. </hugs></p>
<p>My D is still a HS junior, so we have one more year before the emotional rollercoaster, but I can only imagine...</p>
<p>Here's to all the folks out there whose kids have not yet had their moment of success: keep the faith. It's coming.</p>
<p>Heard this today (from West Side Story) and thought of all of you gorgeous, talented MT kids feeling a little off right now (or not). I do believe that there is a place for each of you and a path just waiting for your footsteps to lead you where you belong!</p>
<hr>
<p>There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere. </p>
<p>There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day! </p>
<p>Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . . </p>
<p>There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day, </p>
<h2>Somewhere! </h2>

<p>I got accepted!!! I'm siked!</p>

<p>I just wanted to say, and I've posted this before, that I personally know 2 <em>EXTREMELY</em> EXTREMELY* talented young ladies who did not get into any "major" musical theater schools. Who knows why. They both have performed in leading roles at regional theaters and can sing and act incredibly well (and I'm a little bit on the critical side.) They have both gotten accolades (sp?) by local critics and theatergoers alike. If I had $1 million to bet, I would have bet that they both would have gotten into a "major" MT program. Thank goodness I didn't have the money.They were also EXCELLENT students (AP classes/honor roll/etc.) Also, I know some VERY mediocre students who have gotten into "major" MT schools. I guess my point is, no one knows for sure why some are accepted and some not. Please don't take it personally. I'm rooting for these two girls to end up on Broadway, and show those schools that they made a huge mistake. Just my 2 cents. Congrats to all who got acceptances, and to everyone else, hang in there!!</p>
<p>just to add onto that... at CCM, Dr. Berg told us that whether you are accepted or not is in NO WAY a reflection on your talent... he mentioned that over the decades that the Musical Theatre program has been around at CCM, they have rejected plenty of people... and plenty of them have gone on to be nominated for and win tony awards.</p>
<p>My D received a phone call yesterday from the University of Alabama for MT!</p>
