BFA Acting Class of 2023: preparation, prescreens, auditions, questions and support

My S woke up to a rejection email from UNCSA :-(. Nice start to the day. Oh well, he seemed to take it well. He said it just helps narrow the decision making.

@collegeadmiss Sorry for that and hang in there! Your S is wise, next! Our kids will thrive where they are wanted and appreciated!

@collegeadmiss Hang in there. He’ll find the the spot that is right for him.

has anyone heard from Pace FCTV?

@tlm333 Pace still has auditions this weekend for acting and fctv

@entertainersmom thank you!!! That’s so helpful and makes me even more interested in the program. What is the overnight at Otterbein?

someone on the MT board mentioned that Pace has started making calls

@tlm333 It’s probably for MT…they had their final auditions last weekend

D just got an email from Boston University. "As we get closer to finalizing admission decisions, it is critically important for you to monitor the MyBU portal to confirm that your application is complete. We also ask that you verify your mailing address and all other personal data.

Admission decisions will be posted on MyBU on March 23. You will receive an email when your decision is available."

@love2share got the same BU email today. We are getting closer! Anyone here apply to Penn State? Last year’s decisions came out just about this time, so I’m getting curious …

@MThopeful99, Son received a packet from Otterbein encouraging him to visit the department and participate in an overnight with a BFA Acting major as his host. Son sat in on classes, attended rehearsal for the musical, spent the night and attended more classes as well as met with the head of the program. He loved his experience and it helped him make his decision. Son graduated last Spring, but I would guess the practice continues. So excited for you!!!

Well my son’s day started off on a bad note with the rejection from UNCSA, but his day ended on the best note of all ! He just got notified of his acceptance into his #1 choice, FORDHAM!!! With a sizable scholarship. He is over the moon excited.

@collegeadmiss congrats!!! Was it via email or phone call?

@collegeadmiss - CONGRATS!! Can I ask how notification came? Portal? Email? Call? Snail? I have a student who really loves that school

@collegeadmiss That is so great!!! First choice with scholarship, impressive! How does Fordham send notifications?

@collegeadmiss Woo-hoo! Congrats on Fordham! And with scholarship is even better!

@2artskidz @toowonderful @Gapyearguru Thank you! S received an email saying a decision is available on your portal. The email also said he would be receiving the decision via mail in the coming weeks.
After the Fordham email he received an email from NYU saying “our admissions committee is finalizing the review of your application for admission”. If you are already committed through ED at another university let them know so you can be taken out of consideration.

@collegeadmiss D got the same email from NYU in regards to if you already committed to another school through ED.

What department in theatre did he get accepted too??

@collegeadmiss what Fordham theatre concentration did he apply too?
