<p>MKSP,</p>
<p>I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy for you. I really am:) </p>
<p>I know you were really wanting this and it so awesome to know you made it, If I was not holding my son right now I would do the Tom Hardy Lawless jig for you.</p>
<p>Now, believe it because you did it!</p>
<p>Thank you so much Threed! 
wow…this is…I mean, I can’t believe that I was rejected from pretty much everywhere except my dream school…</p>
<p>What could be better!!! SO glad for you!!!</p>
<p>WOW, milkshakespeare!! I knew it! CalArts just could not reject you! So wonderful. What a day!</p>
<p>You got into a much better program for you than UArts, I’d have to say. I regretted your denial at UArts mainly because it was upsetting to you, but also because I live so near there that I might have tried to come see you in a performance, if you had attended. I am a big fan of yours!</p>
<p>A very, very warm congratulations. But be careful not to dance too hard, just yet. :)</p>
<p>I’m so happy for you, I’m on the verge of tears. Congrats, congrats, congrats!</p>
<p>Oh, MilkShakespeare, I am so happy for you! I have been impressed by your maturity and spirit, and was disappointed when I saw that you had been rejected by a number of schools (especially UArts, where my son goes). This just goes to show that people will wind up where they’re meant to be. Good luck, and congratulations!</p>
<p>Oh my goodness!!! YAY for you milkshakespeare!! I mean, really, YAYYYYYYY! I know how much you wanted this and so, wow! Deep and heartfelt congrats!!</p>
<p>So happy for you! You seemed to know that CalArts was a great match for you, and I’m glad they felt the same way.</p>
<p>I actually think she applied to UArts in London, not Philadelphia (although I may be remembering incorrectly.) Not that it matters right now. Congrats again!</p>
<p>Thank you Gwen, NJTheatreMOM, glassharmonica, prodesse and stagemum! You have been through this journey with me since the very beggining and I’m so grateful to all of you!</p>
<p>acting720 - Thank you so so so much! I wish good news were contagious so I could send your S some of it! I’ll keep following the thread and expecting to hear some good news from you soon!</p>
<p>glassharmonica: I applied to both UArts’, in Philly and London I didn’t even audition for the one in London, though, I was waiting for CalArts.</p>
<p>Wonderful! Way to go, Ms. Shakespeare!</p>
<p>Thanks Marbleheader!!</p>
<p>By the way, to those still waiting not so good news: I talked to a student in the program and it used to be that the card+breathing exercise was evidence that you had gotten in. But people found out about it and now they’re giving some cards at random. I don’t know about the breathing exercise. And I don’t know why exactly they’re doing that (because it just makes the whole thing more confusing), but that’s what I’ve been told.</p>
<p>Milky…great, great news! I’m so thrilled for you!!!</p>
<p>Milkshakespeare: I am new to these posts, but so happy for your good news! My D is awaiting her CalArts admission decision anxiously. In just the couple of days I have watched this thread for news about CalArts decisions, I have noticed your generous spirit and willingness to share and encourage - traits that will serve you well in your career on stage and in film. Out of curiosity, did you receive an email notifying you that the decision was posted? What time did you log in to your applicant account to find the admission decision posted? My D’s is still not updated and it is so hard to wait, wait, wait! As you know so well, this process is not for the faint of heart;)</p>
<p>Thank you OddDad and MomOfDreamer!</p>
<p>MomOfDreamer - I didn’t receive a notification email (maybe they’ll send it today?). I know it was posted on my Applicant Status account later than 5pm in California, so maybe that’s why. I know very well this is a tough process but we’re all going through the same thing here sending some good wishes to your D!</p>
<p>Oh, Milky, I am SOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you!!! In the last few days, I’ve been logging on to the board just to search for your posts, hoping for great news!! I am thrilled for you! You have been such a support to others, and I appreciate all of your (extremely mature) insight. Congrats and celebrate!!</p>
<p>Milkshake,</p>
<p>I have always been impressed by your love of theatre and you real understanding of it as an art and a craft. I was always sure that someone else would also see that in you, and become excited about working with you. I am really glad to see you got accepted into a school you were hoping so much to be admitted.</p>
<p>I am sure you will do incredibly in the rest of your artistic life.</p>

<p>The one night I go to sleep early and don’t check CC.
OH MY GOODNESS! Milky! So happy for you.
This really is the perfect outcome and perfect place for you!
I am truly tearing up right now reading all these posts and feeling the joy and excitement of a young person realizing their dreams. Best of Luck to you and please keep us all posted in your college experiences ! <3</p>
<p>I’ve been visiting over here from MT and quietly following this thread, so have to add my congratulations! It is wonderful when all of the stars align :)</p>
<p>Ms. MS – I also want to extend a huge shout of congratulations to you – one that you can hear in Brazil! My S applied to BFA programs 3 years ago and I know how stressful and at times exhilarating the entire application-audition-acceptance/rejection process can be. I hadn’t been following CC much during the past few years – until a few months ago when a broken foot sidelined me and required me to spend more time than I would like indoors. I really enjoyed reading your posts – your strong desire to succeed as an actor came through in all of your posts and I was silently rooting for you. I am so happy for you. I hope you continue to post on CC once you are enrolled and can give guidance and support to the students and parents who are just beginning the journey of applying to BA/BFA acting programs. PS – my S knows several CalArts students and enjoyed visiting them in Scotland when he and they were on study abroad programs at the same time. CalArts sounds like a terrific program!</p>
