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

@tlm333 congrats on Pace!

@love2share do you think your daughter will definitely attend?

@tlm333 and @Gapyearguru Thank you so much! My D is excited!

Have to share this excitement! We just received my S’s Evansville merit award offer in the mail and was totally surprised he got a FULL RIDE! This certainly throws a kink into the decision making process.

@love2share Big congrats on Pace FTVC! And great that your daughter wants to be in NYC and now has a great option right there.

@collegeadmiss OMG! A huge Congrats! Getting a Full Ride is amazing! Congrats to your S and to YOU!

@HPDbfa Thank you! Pace is definitely in the top 3 of my D’s list! It looks like we need to plan a visit to NYC next month. (We are in LA.)

Big congrats to all who received great news today! So happy for all of you!

Lots of congrats to go around:

@tlm333 on Pace FTVC
@SoCalPops on Point Park
@actinghopeful and @16or32bars on Baldwin Wallace

Definitely celebrate each one!

And congrats on @collegeadmiss on a full ride to Evansville…certainly something to think about!

@collegeadmiss Of all 20 of this year’s Oscar nominees for Best or Best Supporting Actor or Actress, only two BFA’s…

Winner of Best Actor… Rami Malek… Evansville BFA!!!

It’s a sign!!! Congratulations!

Anyone know when Rutgers decisions are expected to go out and how students are notified?

My S is having a great day today! He just got his acceptance to Northeastern with a sizable scholarship. Still waiting on BU, NYU, and SUNY.

Yay!! Congrats on all the wonderful news today all! Great to see all the yeses and all of us moving more towards decisions!

@collegeadmiss congrats on the $$$$! That makes such a difference! Big decisions!

Congrats to everyone on their acceptances today!

Thanks @NYAndOne @NYDreammom. The full ride does complicate matters considerably. I guess it’s a good problem to have. S was really set on Fordham,his #1 choice; living in Lincoln Center and while he did get a nice sized scholarship from them, it’s no full ride.

Congratulations on all the wonderful acceptances today!!! And a full ride, too!!! So great to see all the happiness and excitement!!!

@collegeadmiss I hear you, we were also so set on NYC but the DePaul acceptance and substantial scholarship feels so right, my D thanked me for pointing her in that direction. We figure NYC will still be there in 4 years. Still waiting on one big school but looks like we’ll be taking a NYC detour through Chicago first. :slight_smile:

You have such wonderful options, congrats on your S’s great successes!

Thanks @NYDreammom. Congrats on your D’s DePaul acceptance and scholarship. The decision making is just as hard as the acceptance waiting. When will it get easy?

@collegeadmiss - all the class of 2022 were agreeing that it’s MUCH easier this year. :smiley: hang in there! Congratulations to all the great kids with great acceptances (and great scholarships) arriving today! So thrilled for you all.

Does anyone know if the Huffman/Macy daughter was auditioning for acting or MT? My guess is she wanted UCLA because that school requires very high scores to audition and because the dad had said that he wasn’t sure she should leave LA - or even go to college. I think she’s been in film.

@MomofJ5 both parents are dramatic actors so I would be money it’s acting. I agree about UCLA, but Huffman went to NYU and they also weight academics highly there. The BA at USC also requires high academics. So most likely any or all three of those schools were the concern. The crazy thing is, I bet any of those programs would have taken their daughter just for the prestige of having such A-list parents involved! So foolish of them to feel they needed to cheat.

I made my D show me her email inbox tonight and there was nothing there from Point Park, looked at the Spam folder too. No word yet from Pace FTVC either. Pass the tea-leaves, please. Does anyone know how Emerson notifies? Email, phone or snail? Supposedly that could be this Friday.
