S just got acceptance to DePaul.
@collegeadmiss Congrats on DePaul!
Huge congrats to all!! It’s so exciting to hear of all your acceptances. Happy day!!
Interested in thoughts on SUNY Purchase audition and callbacks. S did not receive a callback but Purchase students helping with auditions were insistent that did not mean you were no longer in contention. Versus auditions for Pace BFA Acting program where they were very explicit that you were no longer being considered if you were not called back. Is Purchase being disingenuous about the impact of not being called back? Surely if a student had actually gotten accepted without a callback in this age of social media we would know this person existed. And if the callback is actually vital to being considered then what purpose does it serve to mislead interested students? Wouldn’t it be better to be straightforward. The nature of this field is that students will be rejected over and over. If callbacks are truly the only way you move forward why not own it just like other programs do in a very straightforward and unapologetic way. Any thoughts?
@NYDreammom @collegeadmiss - congratulations on the DePaul acceptances! Happy to see CC doing well there!
@FamLawTX Has SUNY Purchase sent out any acceptances as far as you know? I don’t know the answer to your question, but I agree that it seems to make sense that if a student didn’t get a callback, there’s a greater chance that they are not being considered. I wonder, though, why the students insisted that it didn’t matter? Maybe the callback at Purchase isn’t vital?
@dramama3 I was told that decisions would be made by Purchase by March 15. So we don’t know anything for sure. I was curious if anyone had personal experience to know if it was true that you can be accepted without callback or not.
@mteverlasting Re: Montclair- Someone on MT board posted today they had called admissions and they said they would be notifying for Acting starting next week.
Congrats to all the wonderful acceptances! @collegeadmiss your S is doing fantastic with such great options!
Thank you @FourStars ! And for all still waiting I know you will hear soon enough your yes, let’s keep the hope and positive spirit!
Comgrats @hamdog123 ! Did you hear via phone or email re CalArts?
WOW! So much good news! Congratulations to all!
My D was told the same at Purchase. She did not get a callback but felt very good about her audition and connection with the auditioner.
Checked the portal. No email yet, though I assume it’s coming. @NYDreammom
@theaterlove3 my S felt the same way. He unfortunately was not at 100% as the whole audition season took a toll on him and he came down with the flu 5 days before his on-campus audition. Just not sure what to make of callbacks as I have not seen any instances of anyone getting accepted who did not get a callback.
@Gapyearguru Thank you and a big congrats to you too!!!
Thank you!!! @love2share and @FourStars
@molbfaj Phone call
Congratulations to everyone. So happy for you and all of your talented kids!!!
Saying a little prayer tonight that some of that good fairy dust will be sprinkled on our family soon. Today is a tough day in our house, with S really feeling the pressure. No call from Pace for us … still a bunch of schools still out there to hear from, and we have a couple of good acceptances and great WLs already, but it has been a tough few days around here and we’re definitely in a slump. Hugs to anyone else in the same boat. This is a hard road that our kids have chosen, and it’s hard as parents when we can’t just wave a magic wand and make it better.
@MomMimi Sending you good energies! Just know that Pace calls are not finished.
Thanks @love2share - how do you know Pace calls are not finished? Do you have some “secret” contact?
@NYDreammom Calarts does not make calls. Decision will be on the portal.
@SoCalPops Just messaged you
@love2share can you message me too? Hoping to hear from Pace FTVC…
