<p>So Mary Anna only chooses to coach those students who are more talented to begin with? I guess that would skew your successful college admission rate as a coach.</p>
<p>I suspect you’d find that MAD’s students struggle no more or no less to gain admission into the programs of their dreams than any other student who is competitive.</p>
<p>My D worked with Moo. She didn’t “audition” to become one of Moo’s students. We did a short Skype interview with Moo to talk about what type of help my D was needing (finding appropriate monologues) and that was really it in terms of her being “accepted” as Moo crew. I believe she worked with Moo 2 or 3 times. She did attend Moonifieds. As a matter of fact, her WORST audition experience was there with the auditor for one school who was incredibly rude and condescending to my D. Trust me that she didn’t receive any special treatment or consideration from the schools there.</p>
<p>Sounds like it’s new. This is all changing so fast that what happened a couple of years ago is almost irrelevant. Now kids are auditioning for coaches? Oh, so glad my son is a business major.</p>
<p>But he is tall, blond, plays the piano, and has a great voice. He’d probably be in pretty good shape. But no, just no.</p>
<p>I sincerely believe colleges give equal weight to all of their auditions whether they see you at Moonifieds, Unifieds, on campus or elsewhere. Yes Moonifieds is for Moo’s students. There is nothing wrong with that. colleges visit performing arts schools, camps, training programs, and conferences and only their students can attend those auditions. For example. We are not part of Thespians so we could not audition at the International Thespian Conference. We also couldn’t audition at the North Texas Drama Auditions because we aren’t Texas residents. My child doesn’t attend Interlochen so we can’t audition there. being excluded from those audition opportunities just meant we had to find other places to audition for schools and work out an audition plan that fit our family’s schedule and budget. Moonifieds can be a great option for some students. But there is no special consideration given to students who get to take part. they are given the same amount of time and same amount of consideration as they would receive at any of the other auditions.
Rather than be critical of where one chooses to audition, we should support one another and wish each other well. It is nice there are different options for auditioning so that hopefully we all are able to find something that works for us. Auditioning is a nerve wracking process and we could all use as much support as we can get wherever we choose to audition.</p>
<p>I don’t see anyone here criticizing anything. Good luck!</p>
<p>I see. Chalk another one up to the wealthy and privileged. There’s this whole other world it seems. Wow.</p>
<p>theatermom2013 - We are in no way wealthy! We struggled to pay for the coaching (we bought the most basic coaching level available at the time) and for all the things that went into auditioning. My D contributed some of own money from her job as a nanny to help pay for the process, just as she now works on campus to help cover her own expenses. I realize that we were fortunate to be able to make the things work that we did. But it took sacrifices on our part to do so.</p>
Found this old Moonifieds thread.
Have any of you who did Moonifieds THIS year received early acceptances? I know of some Baldwin-Wallace, Texas State and Rider. But anyone else heard from Moonifieds schools yet?Many were rolling acceptances.
We attended Moonifieds. Got December acceptance to Wright State. January to Point Park and March to Rider from the moonified auditions. Still waiting to hear from BW, Pace and Coastal Carolina.
Kids that auditioned at Moonifieds in November have already received acceptances to BW, Texas State, Rider, Wright State, Viterbo, OCU, Hartt, and U of Arts. Many of those were accepted in December. Several others have been accepted to OU, Penn State and Otterbein after doing callback auditions.
I didn’t know about Point Park and Hartt and U Arts happening in December. Are they still making offers now?
The UArts offers in the fall were for Early Action applicants.
Same with Hartt. Both are definitely still making offers. I got into UArts in early Feb 
Did I understand you correctly, that PPU, U Arts and Hartt have early action for the musical theatre department? I thought EA was just for the university.
Hartt had “early action” or “early notification”, for their Dec. 13th audition date. Notification for those who auditioned on that date was January 15th.
I am going to ask here of @soozievt, specifically, if she knows how many BFA MTs offer EA for the PROGRAM, not the university. There may be more than I had realized.
My S auditioned for PPU in November. Was accepted MT by letter in mid January. Don’t know timelines on anybody that auditioned later.
I think EA (non binding) is less common than ED. (binding)
It may be best in the future to pose this question to anyone, not just to me. I don’t have a definitive list and would have to go through a bunch of things to create a list. Not too many MT Programs have an official Early Action round. Some have EA and some also have an early audition date after which notifications come out as accept, deny, or defer.
Emerson has EA. My D actually did that. Off the top of my head, I think Hartt, UArts, Baldwin-Wallace, and Point Park have an early round that provides results on the early side too. I had a student get into Baldwin-Wallace in November of her year and cancelled several auditions afterward.
There likely are more programs (not many) that either have Early Action or an early audition date that provides early notifications, but it would take me some time to look through stuff.
NYU/Tisch has Early Decision.
