@toowonderful Do you mean 7 to 10 days for studio assignments?
Thanks All! Iām excited for my S. did not go in with Tisch being his top school but Iām grateful that he has options. After this experience, Iām grateful that he has at least 1 option. This is a tough program to enter into. It takes guts for our kids and We as parents to even consider going this route.
Duh sorry ā¦I see that is what you said. What the heck is wrong with me!
@proudcalidad I think so. I am more worried about the mental implications ā after this emotional roller-coaster, I wonder if it would be healthier to commit to Syracuse and just be done :). But that decision is not going to be up to meā¦ :).
Ty for the heads up! Mine just checked and sheās waitlisted for NYUā¦ along with CalArts āwaitlistā status and Emerson acceptance it means that sheās already gotten a guarantee at one of her top choices and is still in the running at 2 of her othersā¦ Wonāt be done til May 1st after all! I honestly think sheād be happy at any of the three and each holds some different advantages for her futureā¦ With Emerson itās near home so she can easily audition, with approval, in the spring for summer AEA roles in the area or it up NY or LA with crash pads open to us in each. (And she can come borrow a car or swap out stuff for her dorm/clothes with just a 40 minute public transit from Emerson. But thatās not a main reason to pick a college.)
(Hopefully CalArts says yes or no sooner than mid-April so that we can get a solid visit in to help her decideā¦ NYUās just a 4-5 hr drive from home so we can dash out anytime, and if her twin got accepted weāll go together as a family to the admitted student day for a full feel, even if my actor is still waiting for final results.)
@bfa2018 Oh, I feel you. Once D got into her top choice, and mentally committed (even though weāre still making her collect info and experiences at Admitted Student Days) it has made everything MUCH easier mentally on her (and us!). All Iād say is to keep in mind that the mental experience of all of this will fade, while the decisions made now will affect the next 4 years (and perhaps beyond), so if sheās really into NYU and wants a shot at itā¦ ?But as you say, it aināt up to you ā I certainly get that as well. We can guide, we can point things out, but at the end of the day, this is their life, we gotta let 'em live it and support support support!
Hi everyone - I havenāt been keeping up but if you recall I had posted that my daughter had zero BFA acceptances and was preparing to head to her safeties. Well we just heard from her last school - and she was accepted into Tisch. THANK GOD ON HIGH. We are beyond thrilled. BEYOND thrilled. Over the Moon. ONE acceptance. But thatās all you need. I was in tears when she called me. I donāt even know what to do with myself but it goes to show (for future applicants) - you can never tell, aim for the schools you love, try your hardest and hope for the best. Up until now her application luck wasnāt very good but she got VERY VERY lucky today and that bucket of luck makes up for everything else. Alleluia!
@CaMom13 Your post made me smile. Huge congrats to your daughter!
@CaMom13 Congratulations to both of you! That is great news!
So happy for you and your daughter @CaMom13 !!!
This is only my second post but thank you all for the amazing reads. Wish I would have found the group sooner. My S only applied to Tx St(accepted), Pace, MMM(accepted) , and NYU. NYU was a loooong shot and Pace was his first choice. He was disappointed when he received his letter from Pace saying he was an alternate. Well, he just received his NYU acceptance!! Just from reading this board, I asked him to quickly send his thanks but no thanks to open up those other spots. Iām so glad this part of the process is over!
@CaMom13 HUGE congrats! Iām so happy for you both! We were warned that there may seem to be little rhyme or reason as to why the same student gets in at one school and doesnāt get in at another, getting rejected by their safe bets and in at their reachesā¦ itās all nuts but so happy sheās got a great answer there!
@CaMom13 this just feels great. Congratulations!
@CLDMom it was an email that said a decision has been made and to check his portal (his words)
I GOT AN NYU WAITLIST! Iām incredibly happy!
Iām a longtime lurker but brand new poster, and so happy to hear everyoneās good news. My D is relatively new to acting (2 yrs) but has thrown herself into it (straight acting, though she can sing and dance). She was happy to get acceptances (UArts, Marymount, Temple, Hartt, Hofstra, San Diego State) but was holding out for her top 5 choices. That luck ended today with a rejection from NYU. And while she did get a waitlist from her top choice (Chapman) she is quite dejected. Iām hoping she just needs time to grieve and then will happily end up in a program where she can thrive, but my heart hurts so much for her right now - even though she knows she is lucky to have choices.
@takealeap Iām sorry for your noās but wow! your daughter sounds very talented! sheās only been in this for a very short time and is already being accepted into these Audition Schools? Very impressive! congratulations! we have members right now still waiting for Hartt
@CaMom13 Omg, that is awesome!
@takealeap So sorry about NYU. But, your daughter has some great acceptances!! With only 2 years under her belt, she really has done well and should be very proud of her accomplishments!
Hi @ginaf1102 I saw on another post that your D got into Minnesota Guthrie and BU just like mine. Just wondering if youāre seriously considering both or if sheās leaning more toward a different program.
