For those of you who had kids audition last weekend, have any of you heard from schools yet…either about program acceptance or passing pre-screens?
Nothing yet. Will post as soon as we hear anything. D auditioned for 14 schools.
Two years ago we did not get word from the schools with final auditions at Moonifieds until January, at the earliest, or March, at the latest. Prescreens are a different story. Got a yes or a no pretty quickly. Of course, that was two years ago and this year could be different. Every years some schools seem to make changes in the process. Good luck to you!
We did Moonifieds two years ago and my kid did have several acceptances before Christmas. Another friend at Moonifieds also had acceptances before Christmas. It probably depends on which schools you auditioned for. We also had notification of passing the prescreens very quickly (within a week). We even had scholarship offers by Christmas.
We had kids at our house over the weekend who have gotten results from the Moonified live prescreens (both yes and no) but no acceptances (yet).
@artskids the results from prescreens came from communication after the weekend or they were told then? Just trying to clarify. Thanks!
D just got her first rejection from Missouri State. Ouch!
Sorry to hear @Mel2421…how did they notify you guys? email? phone call? portal?
Thanks @Mel2421! We’re in same boat!
@cpx4gb does this mean you guys got an email as well?
Yes @Mel2421
@MTheaterMom They received emails generally. I do know one of the boys knew he did not pass the live BW prescreen before he left Texas. I’m not sure if he received an email while still there.
@artskids, is BW a prescreen school? I didn’t think that they were
@sammy8028, two years ago BW decided to do prescreens. They only did it that one year.
@Sammy8028 It was an option this year at Moonifieds to prescreen for BW on campus callbacks.
I’m sorry to be dense, I still don’t understand. Do the kids who went to Moonifieds get a special on campus audition, or are they just in with anyone else who has a slot?
@Sammy8028 they will be with everybody else. It is merely an opportunity to attend a regional live prescreen, and see if you may (or may not) be what the school is looking for.
Ouch! D just got an email from Texas State. No callback.
@Mel2421 - I feel for you! That was us last year, only she got the rejection the Monday immediately after Moonifieds. I still remember the deep plunging feeling in my stomach when we saw the email message. Hurt like heck at first & still stung later on when we would see Kaitlin & Co. at other events & she would remember my D and say hello (in my mind I’d think “how dare you be nice to my kid after you reject her!” LOL!), but in hindsight, it was good to have that one resolved quickly b/c it would have really muddied the decision-making waters to have it as a possibility for long. Allowed her to move on emotionally well before Unifieds & allowed her to fall in love with some other opportunities. [we still have the utmost respect for that program]
