Thanks guys!! It is nice to feel welcomed in a group like this. Everyone’s kids sound SO talented. They should all get in everywhere yet the process is so subjective.
My S was booked solid at Unifieds but was interested in auditioning for Harrt. Do you think we should apply now this late in the game? I just don’t know if he would be able to fly there for an audition though as he has too much going on with school. Heck, I am just grasping at straws and feeling desperate. I wish I knew about this board last year as I would have applied to many other schools. Oh well, I just pray it all works out for everyone.
I lurke way more than I post. I so understand the lack of focus on anything other than this. By this time in my older D’s senior year, we were prepping for rush, everything for her dorm room was purchased, and it was stress free and fun (not a theater kid). Now I have a college graduation and a high school graduation all coming up quickly and yet I find myself not able to move on to those things because so much is still in the air. Getting ready for spring break next week. Headed out with a group of theatre seniors to the beach. Wondering what decisions they will all hear about during their trip.
I can understand family/friends not “getting it.” We actually have theater teachers, art directors and counselors that don’t understand how this process has changed. Especially over the last few years. They thought we were crazy to apply to 15 schools. Also kept recommending schools and conservatories with BFA’s when my D made clear she wanted a BA program where she could get training and further develop her academics and writing. The hours I spent on researching schools is crazy. And yet, we still don’t know for sure we she is headed.
Wishing you all a happy, peaceful, fruitful waiting period. We need it!
@HopeinMT I am not sure of your situation but D wanted to do a walk in at Harrt at Unifieds but they were booked. The woman at the desk told us to send in a video. My D ultimately chose not to but I believe it is an option if you live outside a 300 mile radius. Below is a reference to the requirements:

I was totally clueless the first time through this process. I did not hear about CC until after my S audition season!
My D finally opened her email from CalArts and she is in! She is feeling grateful and relieved. My heart goes out to all those still waiting…
Congratulations, @breakingbarriers2018 !
@breakingbarriers2018 Fantastic news. Congratulations.
Are there any parents out there of Juniors or Seniors at U-Minn/Guthrie?
Hi @HopeinMT - Like everyone else, I was lurker too. I have gained so much knowledge from this page - although I have lost many hours reading pages going back years. You are right, no one understands and that is why you have us. Share, vent, and ask questions - there are folks on this page that have vast amounts of acting/MT wisdom!
Congratulations to @breakingbarriers2018 - so awesome!!!
