@ThenSheSaidIt I am dying laughing but my D, um, less so. I’ve been instructed to get off CC. How am I doing??
@FourStars I recommend nondisclosure from here on out and carry on as usual.
Non disclosure?
Re: Michigan. Somehow I was unaware that Michigan strongly preferred you to come on campus, but now that I read it, I kinda vaguely recall this from way back at the beginning. Okay, any lurkers for next year, if Michigan is high on your list, go in person, do your audition on campus and take a tour!
@FourStars – non-disclosure…as in “CC – it was fun for a while…but I’m done.”
Our kids also met at Guthrie. S told me that no mention was made about mothers on CC. Or mothers at all. :))
^^^D is mostly mortified that I’m on here but some days, she asks “so, what’s the news today on CC”?
Yes, my D teases me about getting off, but happily takes the useful information. Don’t worry, I love you guys!
So sorry to everyone who heard no from UMichigan. Even for non-BFA majors, there are many schools that consider “demonstrated interest” (via on campus tours, auditions on campus, etc.) when making acceptance decisions.
My D is graduating in May, and everytime I make a suggestion about something to check into/pursue, her 1st question is… “what do they say about it on CC?”. The valuable info doesn’t end with admission - b/c the path is just beginning
We call it “the board” in my house.
Fondly referred to as “The Motherboard” in our house.
We call it “the vortex”. :))
@MI3rdClosingAct. Hi! Thanks for sharing that we are in same status for Ithaca. Please let me know if you figure anything out or something changes. Message me if you prefer!
D texted me while I was at work this morning telling me she checked her UMich portal & it was a no. She said she was fine - she knew it was a long shot. 3 minutes later I get another text from her that her Ithaca portal says “Congratulations, you were accepted into Acting BFA on Wednesday Feb 21.” The followup text from her was “did I get in?” =)) (I told her yes.) Good grief! I thought she was checking portals!!!
I hate hearing that schools prefer that kids audition on campus. I totally get that, but where we live it’s difficult to get decent flights (time & money), and it’s way too far to drive to most of them.
I’m not supposed to be posting either!
Is it 5:00 yet???
@MTmom2017 congrats on Ithaca! That’s wonderful!
@MTmom2017. Congratulations on Ithaca!!! That is great news!!! But wow, you were accepted on Feb 21st? That is mysterious. Also very early. But such great news. Enjoy the moment.
@MTmom2017 Congratulations!! Fantastic!
@FourStars - no idea if it’s been there and she didn’t check, or that was the date they made a decision… I was afraid she were getting the “No” via snail mail!
@MTmom2017, can you find out where it says that? I mean it should be obvious, right?
@MTmom2017 congratulations! Still pulling for the rest of you. I wonder how many Ithaca accepts. There is so much buzz about their program (even from my sons teachers)
