I see the MT boards have started the accepted thread. Is there one for acting?
To those who got rejections this week, I understand how it feels. Especially if your student felt there was a connection, it can be rough. We kind of did the 24 hour thing, you can feel all your feelings and be down for 24 hours, and then bounce. Tiny tip. If you have more auditions left, try not to look at your phone/e-mail the morning of or day of the audition. While we say we can handle it, I feel it can creep into the audition room.
To those still in the pool for Otterbein, that’s awesome!
Not yet @morgan830 – would you like to start one?
@OrangeFish I’m a TOTAL newbie to cc. I guess I could do a little research. They seem to have a very specific way they like to do them. Lol
@drama315 Congrats on BU! What wonderful news! My D really enjoyed her BU audition recently in LA.
@drama315 congratulations on BU! And Early decision - i can only imagine what it means to be really finished. So much happy for you!
Congrats @drama315 !! Awesome news!!
@NYDreammom Thank you! Would love to know how your D’s experience has been there!
@love2share Thank you! Congrats on the Rutgers callback!! BAL!
@FourStars Thank you ~ and thank you for all your posts on CC! I came in knowing nothing and this board has been so incredibly helpful!
@MomMimi Thank you! Kind of feel like we are missing out on some of the fun(?) of this process 
LOL @drama315 - other folks will be missing out on the fun soon enough. BIG congratulations to your D on the BU acceptance - several members of last year’s class are there and they are super happy!!! It seems like a paradise for actors and it’s located in an amazing city.
@drama315 Not sure if you meant me, we don’t have experience at BU. The kids from my D’s school are starting in the fall, sorry if this came across differently. Last year’s folks on here had some acceptances and are attending, perhaps you can PM them. There is a “Acceptances by school” thread I believe. How exciting!
@drama315, @ginaf1102 has a daughter at BU. Try PMing her, or maybe she’ll see this and post!
@TravelMom402 It seems that UMinn/Guthrie’s callback invitations are going out on a rolling admissions. MY DD got one today, soon after receiving the NO email from Rutgers. Oh the ups and downs! She did all her auditions in Chicago by the way.
@love2share I loved your story. I had wanted to go to LA instead of Chicago but did not think we could get it all done there. I was wrong and your story proved it beyond a doubt! Congratulations on the success you had there.
@MomMimi Thank you for the whereabouts of Joe Price!
Oh boy, has it been a while since I have posted. The journey last year was “all the feels” as my kid would say, and I would not have changed a thing. I certainly do not have the wisdom of @FourStars and @artskids but I am happy to help where I can. @drama315 Hi! My D is a freshman at Boston University (along with @artskids super talented D). She is loving every minute of it. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. In general… she is super busy with a heavy artistic load, used a circular saw and nail gun last week, and has made some really great friends.
Also, regarding Guthrie, we put our D on a plane solo and it was really great for her to learn some more broad life skills. It was scary, but texting made it easier.
I look forward to reading the rest of everyone’s journey.
My D passed all of her prescreens and felt great about her NY and Chicago Unifieds auditions. Called back to Pace, passed to the second room at Fordham. Then this week happened…she got an SMU rejection so fast that I wonder if they sent it from baggage claim while they waited to get their bags from LA Unifieds!! Then a University of Minnesota callback weekend invite, then the Rutgers rejection. I know everyone said you cannot read into anything or make any assumptions and that is the truth!! We are so confused right now.? And I went from being so excited to check my email to being terrified to check my email. Bless…
Hey - one callback : two rejections is a pretty good ratio @loudclappingmom ! Keep the faith - everybody gets rejections - and I do mean everybody. Hope she loves the Guthrie weekend!
Thank you @CaMom13!! What a crazy ride!!
Hi! Congrats on BU! My son is a freshman there and is having the time of his life!! You can always ask me questions too. Happy to help!
@2artskidz Thank you! We’re local to LA, so we tried to make it happen as best as we could by planning early! And then staying positive throughout, manifesting that everything will work out schedule-wise!
@loudclappingmom Congrats on the Minnesota/Guthrie callback! If it makes you feel better, the Rutgers callback is the same weekend, so your D wouldn’t be able to go any way.
It’s so exciting to hear about the success stories from all your auditions.
I can concur now that what happens inside the room doesn’t always translate into a positive result. I think my D confused a wonderfully kind conversation with the auditor feeling like she would be a good fit for the program. In another room, she felt “meh…” about whether they were interested, and then she received a callback. We are thankful for the callback, and don’t take any of it for granted!
Congrats on the exciting callback and acceptance news!!
S and his classmate both got cursory “no thank you” emails from UMinn/Guthrie on Monday. Curious to know if anyone else who got a no from them got encouragement to attend UMinn as part of the BA program. These emails did not. Already had academic acceptance and very generous merit aid so seems like a missed opportunity to add kids to the U.
