Just checked D’s portal and she got a YES from Drew University, with scholarship money! For those that don’t know, Drew University has a great BA Theatre Arts program, and is only 45 minutes from NYC!
How I found my New School acceptance today (even though decisions aren’t officially out till April 1st):
- Click this link: https://account.newschool.edu/cgi-bin/acctservices.pl?f=i&s=gn
- Go to "MYNEWSCHOOL" in the top right hand corner.
- Log in.
- Mine says "Congratulations on your acceptance and we look forward to seeing you at The New School" in the top left hand box.
Have fun!
Anyone who got a Pace phone call… did they ask any questions to gauge how likely you are to accept? Or was it only a congratulations/sales pitch call? Wondering if they using interest feedback from the Yes calls before deciding who to notify on waitlist status…
@SoCalPops I was wondering the same thing.
@SoCalPops It was not a sales call at all. It was from the director of the FTVC program and they had a nice chat and he invited her to come do an overnight student visit. He did not ask if she was going to attend nor did he mention how many calls he had left to make.
@SoCalPops @dramamama3 I heard the initial message left on S’s VM last year. I was a congratulatory message and did not have any pitch other than he had made a great impression and they would love to have him come study there etc. It was not like the other calls the school makes.
Once April hit, they were looking to fill the class and it will likely be the same again this year. As mentioned in an earlier post, there was a lot of decision making going on even late into April. April was actually much more stressful than we ever imagined!!
@hamdog123 we followed your instructions and saw that same thing … congratulations… but are you 100% sure this is a legitimate acceptance?
Pace FTVC did not ask if D was likely to accept. It was congrats, we’d love you to be in the program, come visit, etc.
@tlm333 It’s not official, but I can’t fathom it would say that it you weren’t going to be admitted. My friend who applied EA (to Parsons, not Drama) showed me how to do this back in December; he was officially accepted a few weeks later.
Thanks @tlm333 @frontrowmama @love2share - I am going to guess then that Pace probably has their waitlist figured out, but won’t be mailing it out till after Spring Break approx.
@hamdog123 Also the New School hub admissions portal is not working… did you have that issue?
@tlm333 That happened almost every other time I tried to check. It usually doesn’t work.
It just happened to work for me today; don’t know why.
Hearing more about Pce’s BFA FTVC, any news about BFA Acting ? Or any info current parents could share on their S or D acceptance? Greatly appreciated !
@tlm333 - I just sent a PM - let me know if you didn’t receive it (since yours to me bounced).
@hamdog123 @tlm333 My D was also able to log into mynewschool and land on an admitted student page personalized for her before she got the official email in Dec.
On another note rejected as expected from Fordham and Montclair. Totally fine with it.
Congrats to all the acceptances, best wishes on the wait lists, hope everyone hears from all their schools soon… The NCAA thinks they have “March Madness” – They have NO IDEA!
@NYDreammom congrats on the New School! We have not hearad anything from Fordham. May I ask if your D applied EA or RD and when your D’s audition was? We have logged in to the portal but there is no status change. Thx!
Anyone hear from Syracuse Acting today? I read about a MT acceptance via email, wondering if any acting ones went out.
@posivibes Thanks! TNS was EA, auditoned in Nov and heard by mid-Dec.
Fordham was a status update email with decision on portal today. Seems true that they release in waves every Friday.
Best of luck on the remaining schools!!
@2artskidz We have been waiting all evening about Syracuse. Glad to hear some MT emails went out. Maybe Acting next week???
