I’m on here for a different reason today and looked at my old posts…I was so bummed when I didn’t get in almost anywhere! I figured my career was over, there was no hope…I feel so bad for that girl!
Just wanted to let you all know, particularly those of you who will be receiving rejections, that I do musical theatre professionally now up and down the West Coast. I frequently need side and in-between jobs but most of my friends do as well. I’m doing shows with people who went to the schools I got rejected from, and people who never went to college at all. Don’t let acceptance or rejection define you. I couldn’t be happier.
Thank you! I just had forgotten how completely hopeless I felt when that happened to me, which was almost exactly six years ago now, and I wish I could go back in time and let myself know that I’d be doing exactly what I was hoping I would be. I’m hoping it will help someone here. Not everyone’s news is about to be good.
Ninnynoodle, I remember you! It is great to hear an update and it sounds like you are doing really well. I certainly agree that rejections should not define someone. And you are a great example. This is terrific timing that you posted here so that others who may end up with a similar experience in this admissions round can see that it is not the end of the world or anything close. Things will work out in some fashion! Best to you.
