We finally bit the bullet and made travel plans for a 2/18 on campus audition. Luckily, we were able to use credit card points for the flight and there is a great rate at the CMU recommended hotel, so it is not too expensive.
I am hearing that Elon has released some prescreen results today
yes, we heard today that my D passed (which was nice since the prescreens were hit or miss!)
Hello! Please does anyone know if, when and where DePaul is at NYC Unifieds? How about Chapman?
Depaul in the past has been in the Ripley Greer studios about a block from Pearl Studios. Same place UNCSA and CMU have been.
I donāt know about Chapman.
Chapman is in Pearl Studios! Pearl Studios 519 8th Avenue, 12th Floor, New York, NY10018-4176
DePaul is in Ripley-Grier
Thank you @Jamesdm25. Do you know which day/days?
My D is officially done with all her auditions, after a crazy hectic weekend of Michigan on Friday and UCLA on Sunday. Now we wait!! She did ask me to cancel her Minnesota audition in February. I think she felt even if she got rejected by UMich and UCLA (her top 2), she has enough other schools to choose from. Plus, I think she is just FRIED!
Wonderful @mychildsslave. Sheās done really early!
Thank you! Yes, she had decided not to pursue any schools on the east coast, otherwise Iām sure weād still be stressing right now.
@mychildsslave - thatās so great. Iām quite ājellyā as my D would say. Iām currenlty schlepping around NYC in the snow and slush. Wish I was home, warm with my puppies. Enjoy your calm. We will all be there soon enough.
I think thatās why my D decided to cancel Minnesota. After her experience in Michigan, she decided that maybe sheāll tough it if they offer her acceptance, but not Minnesota.
@mychildsslave You are done!!! Wow! Who else is in NYC this weekend? My D has 6 at Unifieds, that includes Friday and Monday, two, one, two, one, so it is okay, I hope.
@FourStars we are coming for unifieds but only one (UArts) is at Ripley. May do a few Saturday walk-ins. We are heading to Rutgers in the morning on Sunday and Pace in the afternoon. Break legs!
Are most at Pearl Studios? That is where official unified schools (Like U Arts) usually are.
I have auditions mostly at Ripley Grier and Pearl Studios, but then some odd ones here and there
D and I are heading to NYC Friday. Sheās a costume major and has 5 interviews/portfolio reviews on Sat & Sun. (BU, CMU, Shen, Em, Ev) We are kind of hoping after this and the ones sheās already done that sheāll hear back from at least one or two before the last couple of on-campus ones scheduled in Feb so that she can call it a day. BAL to everyone! I donāt know how those of you with day-long auditions do it. I will be wondering all the while which of the people we pass in the halls are CCers. We will be among the pairs toting giant black art portfolios along with bags of props, wigs and assorted costume pieces.
Thanks @bfahopeful!! Iām sure I wouldnāt be the first parent to bring their kid to the wrong studio. Lol.
D had NYU today. They are all starting to mesh together. The info session by Chris Anderson was informative and fun. D went back with the acting kids. A current student waited with them and was talking badly of the MT student - which my D did not like hearing. She really struggles with āclickinessā at her school. The audition and interview she said was awesome. The auditor gave her some direction and positive feedback. He asked her how she dissects a script, what her favorite piece of acting sheās ever seen, and the performance on her resume sheās most proud of and why. She really enjoyed the interview. We will find out if he enjoyed it too in 2 1/2 months! Lol.
@momof2lefties your daughter sounds amazing already! Iām sure sheāll be part of the Oscar nominations soon enough. I have a love for costume designers and wish that I had their gift. Wigs, props etc sounds fantastic! so fun. BAL
