My D auditioned last week at Chicago Unifieds. She has a friend that allegedly received an email from a BSU student that Bill Jenkins was expressing interest in her for further follow up. I dont want to perpetuate false rumors and this is third or fourth hand information I am passing on so it is only a claim being made to a student and I dont have actual confirmation so was wondering if others have received any feedback yet as a follow up to the Chicago Unifieds? If so, presumably there could be feedback that doesnt constitute a student was sent a letter of acceptance and if one has not heard anything back yet they should not presume a student was rejected but was just seeking perspective if there are any students or parents that might have been contacted and if so- can they share their thoughts ? Thank you!
bfamtdad,
My name is Rylee and I was a student proctor at Chicago Unifieds and am a current MT student. No formal acceptances will be made until after our final auditions on Feb. 25th. Bill has reached out to current students to email select students that are in consideration for the program, but those emails by no means are an acceptance. It is all about expressing interest and answering questions. If your D has not received an email, she very well could still be in the pool of students under serious consideration.
You will know no later than the second week of march whether your D is accepted, wait list, or otherwise.
Let me know if you have any additional questions 
Warmly,
Rylee
Rylee,
I appreciate your clarification. The fact that your college is so forthcoming and transparent about the process and timing shows great integrity and professionalism which reflects very positively on you and Ball State. Regardless of how decisions pan out, I am grateful that you took the time to reply. Thank you!
Rylee,
My D did not participate in the dance call. She did submit dance requirement via email. Not a strong ballet background, how strongly in the dance component considered for MT?
Did anyone get a notice today? A classmate of D got an email admitting him to the BA but not the BFA. Anyone?
@Mtmomkbh Funny a male friend of my D also got the same today. We are till waiting…
Are you talking about Ball State for the email?
My D got an email from Bill Jenkins a few days after her LA Unifieds audition saying STRONGLY encouraged to apply ASAP. Then a current MT student from our state (CA) started emailing her. Fingers crossed for Ball State, what a great school (Sutton Foster!!!). Then again, the email also said they had 1,400 that applied, so there’s that…arghh.
I think that is a good sign @MTmomma ! Did the emails say we would all hear by March?
@Kentmtmom, the email said we would hear by mid-March.
My son got an email yesterday admitting him to BA in Theatre Studies; he didn’t get accepted to the BFA MT program…he did a walk in audition in Chicago.
@nodaybut2daymom did they give you a deadline to respond? May 1st? Still nothing for us. I wonder if the acceptances are being sent out in waves. DOes anyone know if they have a waitlist for the BFA or BA/BS?
@nodaybut2daymom my D just got the email today…really disappointed. She was accepted early and had a very big academic scholarship. And I might add, they were running behind on Sunday at NYC unifieds and her audition was cut severely short so really kind of PO’d for her. 
@missnypizza Im sorry to hear that. I guess I will be checking our emails the rest of the day!
Is their BA audition based only?
Wonder if they emails are going out alphabetical? Those with emails for BA does last name start with ABC?
@momofaEwinger Well, my son’s email came two days ago and we are the letter “S”. So, I doubt it is alphabetical.
@momofaEwinger Well we are “C” however my D’s friend who is “G” got the email the day before my D so I don’t think that’s the method!
We got one … last name starts with M
@KPike320 was your email an acceptance? Just wondering what kind of emails are going out.
