@love2share would love some info too. My S is waiting to hear about both FCTV and BFA Acting at Pace.
@love2share Could you message me as well? So we have a better idea of the Pace BFA acting calls and the time frame? :-h
@love2share can you also message me? We are also waiting for Pace!!
@theaterlove3 and @FamLawTX did we miss something? When did Purchase have callbacks? S auditioned in Chicago.
Thanks @NYDreammom !
@collegeadmiss They call it callbacks on-campus. During unified I believe if your S or D has their monologue recorded it is the equivalent of an on-campus callback is my understanding.
What phone number does Pace call? Cell or home? Congrats to those accepted!!
@FamLawTX Thanks for clarifying. S did get his monologue recorded so I guess that’s the “call back”.
Wow. What a busy evening! Congratulations on all the acceptances. It’s so fun to hear.
@lorely70 Pace called my son on his cell phone last Friday during school. He auditioned in LA for acting.
Ugh! I really wish Pace wouldn’t send out emails tonight inviting my D to an accepted students event. I’m 99% sure they’re only referring to her “academic” acceptance. It’s nerve-racking. Still hoping for a call.
To all those waiting on Pace. Last year my S was one of the lucky kids called and offered a spot. However, it created so much stress for both him and his peers left waiting for a final answer that he wasn’t even comfortable sharing that he had gotten in! I know that they have “alternates” and I imagine WL and such will be notified sooner rather than later, but rejection letters took a really, really, really long time to arrive. It was just painful to watch a few of our friends hold out hope “that no news was good news” when that was not the case at all. It is just a really weird system and should be moved along a lot faster especially as they are a school that calls a lot and sends a lot of email for events etc. I can tell you the number that called was a private cell number and did not reference Pace at all. And instantly a facebook invite arrived to join the BFA class of… It would seem like the calls would be scattered over a few days or so as well. Good luck everyone! It is so tough. A year from now will be here before you know it and each of your kids will be settled on a new journey!
Congratulations on all the acceptances today! Does anyone have any info on the DePaul waitlist? Has there been much movement in years past?
In prior years, the “callback” for Purchase, at least at Unifieds, was doing the material a second time and having it recorded. Is there a different procedure on campus?
@artskids I am wondering about this too. My D auditioned for them in NYC and said that there wasn’t a camera in the room.
On campus at Purchase, after everyone in that audition slot is done auditioning, they call back certain people to come back in the room and do their monologues again. I don’t think they record it on campus.
@Gapyearguru I asked my D. She assisted freshman and sophomore year in NYC but I do not think she was there this year.
@actorparent1 thanks for that info. My D didn’t audition on campus, so this is news to us!
I seriously don’t know how any students stay healthy thru this process. I am so sorry that your S was one of the ones who got sick. The two current Purchase students she talked with, one got a callback, one did not.
@Gapyearguru They put some kids on tape during the NYC auditions.
