Still waiting on

Texas State - worried because others have heard.
TCU
Indiana

Help?

We havenā€™t heard from Texas State, either. Didnā€™t apply to the others.

also waiting anxiously for texas state. apparently what and when others have been hearing is completely unrelated to when youā€™ll hear, and more decisions will be out the week of march 21.

Did the LIU Post artistic scholarship come with the Artistic acceptance? My D got artistic acceptance over a month ago - but no artistic scholarship offer. But was told just a few days ago by the rep to be patient as artistic scholarships are still coming out. It was not originally one of her top schools because it is SO far from home (we are in TX) & that makes the cost more on top of the direct college expenses. But if more (than the merit aid) is coming her way from the department, she might need to relook.

My D had an email from Illinois Wesleyan BFA Acting yesterday - it went to her junk. A good reminder to check everything - best of luck to everyone!

My understanding from last few years acceptances is that Tx State calls and the calls go out at random times/days. (I would guess it is just when the professor has time). One mom said that the prof ended up calling her phone because her S did not answer his phone & did not have VMail set upā€¦ the prof told her she had been trying to reach S for 3 days! haha - But of course that is only for the ā€œYesā€™sā€ the noā€™s get a letter via ā€œgetaccptdā€.

Hello, may I know when do you auditioned for Western Illinois? I auditioned on 2/19 and was notified last Wednesday they would be reviewing my submission this week and making their decision, but I havenā€™t heard from them. So I am a bit worried.

Thank you so much and congrats for all the yeses!

I was scheduled to visit WIU in April for an in-person audition. However, when I was at Chicago Unifieds I saw that they had a room so I did a walk in. At the end of the audition I was asked to submit videos, which I did on February 24. The email acceptance came on March 8. I hope this information helps!
