Acting Acceptances for Class of 2022 by Member Name

@marg928 Thanks. I would but how do I do that? Which one is the main board?

diamondntheruff · March 13, 2018, 3:53am

@#booknerdmom My D auditioned on 3/3 as well…for BFA Acting. Originally prescreened for BFA MT but was redirected to BFA Acting. We’re on the west coast so hoping there’s one of those big packets headed our way, crossing state lines as we speak…haha. It is her top choice left but even if it isn’t meant to be, she has some solid BM vocal performance options to choose from with a double major or minor in theatre arts.

She’s felt the sting of rejection from her original top choice w/a redirect to the BA program and redirects to BM Vocal Performance w/a double major BA Theatre at a couple other schools. The redirects did come with nice talent scholarships and one with a personal encouragement from the BFA program director to work hard her freshman year and audition again in 2019 for the BFA MT. She’s keeping those options open.

We entered this whole process understanding the numbers. Frankly, this journey has actually been a boost to her confidence in some respects. We are from a very rural area. No Performing Arts high schools, no drama/acting at her high school, two productions a year (fall musical, spring dinner theatre) that all take place after school so that leaves little to no time for vocal lessons, dance lessons, etc. She’s been involved in community theatre the past two years as well. She’s known the odds were stacked against her from the beginning. She was accepted into a BM Voice (Musical Theatre) program back in September and so she knew she at least had that. The fact that she prescreened into IWU and felt she was taken seriously at all her Unified auditions actually made her feel really good. She really wants to be in the midwest. She wants to eventually land in Chicago and try to break into regional theatre. It’s all about perspective! She tells me all the time that I get way more worked up about this stuff than she does! From reading through these threads, I keep hearing that from lots of parents!

@diamondntheruff I think my S & I toured that afternoon with her and another girl from Colorado. They were the two without parents and hung together? I think they were staying that night to see the show on campus. My S kind of tried to talk me out of making this trip, but I said stick with the plan (feeling a tad superstitious). He loved IWU, was glad that he auditioned and saw the school.

I will say again, I feel very lucky having a boy in this process. And my S didn’t focus on applying to very top, competitive programs - that seems to have worked…so far. He’s waiting to hear from a number of schools. He was redirected at most of his pre-screens and in one offer (at this point). Was declined by Rider so fast (it made my head spin) that his application on Acceptd is stuck as “incomplete”, and continues to sit at the top of all his Acceptd profile - great reminder

@diamondntheruff (continued) kind of like having a band aid continually ripped off.

I agree 100% about confidence! He left nearly every audition with a positive, even for schools that declined him. His drama teacher mentioned his significant maturity in just the past year and the new HS choreographer noted the professionalism of his audition for their musical. We are super lucky to have very strong cultural arts here. Every year kids go off to top programs in music and performing arts.

Your D sounds wise and mature in evaluating her choices! My S has a few varied programs aka no one right fit…so he will have to research and look carefully at the options. Admittedly a good problem to have.

diamondntheruff · March 13, 2018, 2:33pm

@#booknerdmom Yep…that would have been my daughter! She actually got to stay on campus for two nights. She loved the theatre students, loved the campus, loved Tom and Nancy. She really felt that “fit” there so this is the only one she’s really anxious about. She’s wise enough to understand that she’ll be just as excited for somewhere else if IWU doesn’t accept her into their program…but she really wants it! A train ride away from Chicago, small school, great transition for her. One of her other options is Kansas State (BM Voice MT) and the student enrollment is larger than her town. That’s a little scary! Haha! Sounds like your S has great options…those decisions are hard but you’re right, it’s a great problem to have!

Hi @diamondntheruff @Noreplays2018 and @#booknerdmom - I think the thread you would enjoy is here: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/theater-drama-majors/2025742-bfa-acting-pre-screen-and-auditions-class-of-2022-sharing.html#latest
That is the link to the “main board” for the acting discussion piece of the whole cRaZy process. This page is mostly to post acceptances by name. By putting all of the good information you are sharing on the “main page” allows the parents for next year to have it all in one spot. You can click the little star at the top of the page to “bookmark” certain discussions. That makes things really easy to follow.

latinaMTmom · March 13, 2018, 7:52pm

@mtmaybe and @#booknerdmom I was also at IWU on 3/3 with my S for the full day of audition and tour. He was also accepted into the BFA MT prrgram! He loved it as well! I know I spoke with a few parents… wonder if either of them were you lol

momocarly · March 13, 2018, 9:52pm

@diamondntheruff If she ends up at K-State it will be Ok. My son is a freshman there from OOS and totally loves it. He said the professors all really seem to care about the students and he has learned a lot! He said the school really doesn’t feel big at all. You find your people and they become like a family. He had strong HS stats but chose to go there because of a program and because the people there were so nice. After almost a full year he is very happy with his decision.

Atreuh · March 13, 2018, 10:21pm

Hi @diamondntheruff @Noreplays2018 @#booknerdmom and @momocarly - and all who have a lot to share – friendly nudge ^#(^ to scoot the conversations to the “sharing” thread: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/theater-drama-majors/2025742-bfa-acting-pre-screen-and-auditions-class-of-2022-sharing.html#latest

This thread “Acting Acceptances” is for the list that is getting longer every day. Thanks!

diamondntheruff · March 13, 2018, 11:29pm

@Atreuh I’ve intentionally not responded to anything or posted anything additional on this thread since @ginaf1102 posted her kind message. But, help a newbie out, is there a way to “move” the messages over to the other thread? Or even a way to delete a posted message so I can do my part in uncluttering this thread? I don’t see that but maybe I just don’t know.

SFSClark · March 13, 2018, 11:43pm

Sorry! I just saw this. We just went to accepted students day at CCM last friday. Yes, my son would probably like to connect with your son. He liked it. Thought faculty was terrific.

SFSClark · March 13, 2018, 11:48pm

@CTMomofAJC i cannot figure out how this works. We went to accepted students day last friday at CCM. my son liked it. Have no idea how to send you a message or connect. But you can reach out to me at smith.suzanne04@gmail.com and then i can give you my son Danny’s FB and email…

Atreuh · March 14, 2018, 1:57am

Hi @diamondntheruff - Sorry to be obsessing on keeping this thread clear for Acceptances! It’s only CC, afterall. See the note I just posted in the other thread about copying & pasting. If you want to PM me, I can help you find the threads.
