<p>ALSO - since I am auditioning so late, will that mean there will not be as many spots to fill in the class and therefore not a good of a chance at acceptance?
Baldwin-Wallace is my first choice, can you tell?</p>
<p>Yogaguy28,
Transfers are considered the same as graduating seniors. We don't discriminate if you've already had some college. Transfers are normally placed as freshmen, but there have been exceptions. No acceptances have been sent out yet (except for fall auditions) so therefore spots have not filled up. Once next weekends audition is over acceptances will be determined. Good luck next week!</p>
<p>Is a Master Class offered at every audition? Will there be one this Saturday?</p>
<p>Zappos,
Yep! There isi a master class at every audition - so you'll get to see our seniors, juniors, & sophomores perform. This Saturday, David Krasner will be coming. He has an agency in NY called "The Mine".</p>
<p>Have a good audition! I won't be singing, but I'll be there.</p>
<p>The master class is amazing.
Make sure you really listen to what the guest artist is saying, you can pick up a good chunk of knowledge, at least I did.You're going to love it. I personally thought it was a bit long, but that's probably because I was really tired, so make sure you get a lot of sleep, because you still have the dance audition afterwards!
Good luck to everyone this weekend, have a blast and let your personality shine through! This is the last audition, (I think), so we're one step closer to finding out!!!!!</p>
<p>When are acceptances sent out?</p>
<p>And what would you say the odds of getting in are?</p>
<p>We were told acceptances would be sent out by March 20, although I believe I heard that some might hear a bit before then. Odd of getting in? Well, something like 250-300 are auditioning. They accept around like 14? I think. The catch is, they only accept one person of each 'type'. Therefore, to get in you must be the best soprano ingenue, belter, character actor/actress, or whatever, that they saw at auditions. They do have a waitlist, but you can only get off the waitlist if the person of your 'type' decides not to attend.</p>
<p>In light of this answer, a good question to ask would be: What 'types' seem to be most prevalent at BW's auditions? Now THAT I would like to know!</p>
<p>How many people do they put on the waitlist?</p>
<p>All the acceptances will be gone over very soon and the class list will be finalized. I think it normally takes about 2 weeks to get letters home? I would say early march you should hear, march 20th would be the latest. We auditioned about 250-300 this year ( our biggest year ever) and accepted about 20 hoping to get a class of about 12. Wait list comes after that, and usually is about the 20.</p>
<p>BWM, I'm sorry, I don't understand your answer--are you saying you also put 20 kids on the wait list-one kid backing up the 20 you accepted? That is what it sounds like, but I want to make sure I understand the procedure. Thanks! How are the tickets to Brooklyn selling?</p>
<p>Happymom, I'm sorry I worded that last sentence wrong. There tend to be the same amount of kids on the waitlist as there are acceptances. From what I know, every year we have accepted kids off the waitlist so getting waitlisted is still a good thing.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the information, it's nice to have a deeper insight into the process.</p>
<p>I hear there have been some acceptances sent out from the February round of auditions.
Does anyone know if they've sent all of them out.
I'm starting to get worried.
I auditioned on Feb 9.</p>
<p>FierceMTHopeful - hang in there, I am sure you will hear something soon; as BWTMT09 pointed out, letters can arrive anywhere between early March up to late March, likely depending where you live.</p>
<p>I got a phone call yesterday and the acceptance packet came in today's mail. I auditioned on Feb 9th as well. Good luck to all.</p>
<p>A friend of mine's d got a phone call Friday night to let her know that she had been accepted into Baldwin-Wallace. She was told that letters would go out March 15th. My d auditioned with her d on the same day. She wasn't told why her d was called instead of waiting on the letter. Has anyone else out there been called? Is this typical?</p>
<p>My D received her call on Sunday and they said her packet was mailed on Friday. She auditioned on January 19th. Anita Evans informed my husband, who received the call first, that they call for the good and the not so good (okay, I mean rejections). Evidently Vicki likes the students to receive the personal call.</p>
<p>bunch - congrats on an absolutely awesome audition season, can't wait to see your final decision :)!</p>
<p>I'm excited to hear about all of the acceptances. If any of you have questions, feel free to PM me</p>
<p>~Tim</p>
<p>I'd take an e-mail, snail mail or phone call -- any of them if they said I was off the "wait list". </p>
<p>A lot of people have been asking questions, and I just want to say that BW seems to be one of the most professional programs I've come across this year. Some schools seem to have the "and someday, maybe, if you get work in this industry", whereas Vicky is all about getting a job in the industry after college and continuing as a career, which is what I'm about. At the same time, since she casts the group by type, there is no cut-throat competition as in some schools I know I could have been accepted in, but why have no friends in your studio like people I know?</p>
<p>The summer program is awesome. I really just wanted BW from the first and did that audition in October. Probably a mistake, since it's cost my mom 20000 in audition trips and college apps, etc., and she had to refinance the house. However, being put on the wait list told me I needed to update my information, so I switched out my songs and added a very contemporary monologue, and had good success in the rest of the auditions. All this I learned in the summer program.</p>
