Are you sure on those numbers @Notmath1? That sounds more to me like the offers from all the fall auditions (including the on-campus dates).
I had heard of 4 offers – two boys and two girls from campus auditions in the fall. We also heard of one other girl who received an offer and that may have been at Moonifieds. I think five at Moonifieds by itself sounds high since that would put them at 9 offers before any of the February auditions. Maybe, but I hope not!!
Correction. FOUR total from Moonifieds. One is a girl, and one of the guys has declined.
Hmmmm. Good to know. That puts them at 8 offers before they even got to February auditions. Oh well, all we can do is wait.
I seem to recall that last year there were 5 early acceptances that I know for sure from Moonifieds.
Since they offer approximately 25 spots (per the on campus audition day information sessions) to yield a class of 18, it’s believable that they offered 8-9 already. They said they only invited approximately 200 to audition based on pre-screen selections. Giving that, they have an idea of who’s coming. If they saw specific types or talents, I understand them snapping them up. Does anyone remember the date they will start to notify?
They said no later than March 20th.
That’s what I thought @Divamamacita , but S and I disagreed. Thanks for confirming.
I think they do try to “snap up” which is a smart strategy. After all, who doesn’t have a warm glow-y feeling about the 1st school to say “yes”. They are good a woo-ing too, which some schools do, and some don’t. If you got an early yes, and got a lot of love, you certainly might be more likely to commit early.
Just got word that two friends of my D got their acceptances via snail mail today!
I just saw on the main page acceptances were in the mail today! Glad they are starting to move on this! Woohoo!
@IfYouOnlyKnew what do you mean when you say “main page”?
It was in the 2019 Sharing, Venting page on the musical theater main page of this website. @Jrdirectortommy
Nothing in the mail again today…arrrrgggghhhh…just want to rip this band-aid off!!!
Still waiting…
Insert Jeopardy theme music here.
Hahaha
Got home very late last night and found the big envelope from BW on the table - S hadn’t even opened it, thinking it was just another brochure. He was sure he would get a rejection from them anyway but it was his MT acceptance! And I got to open it since he was already in bed and I figured, hey, he had his chance to open it but didn’t. Then there was no one awake at the house anymore to share the news with …
^^You should have screamed. That would’ve gotten their attention!
Congrats @FoxinSocks ! That is a great story. My S won’t even grab the mail everyday when he comes in from school. I have to call home and make him get the mail. I’ve decided that he’s just going to miss out on knowing until I get home from now on. He literally is not worried one bit. He has a few acceptances he’s happy with and he doesn’t appear worried about anything. LOL
