Has anyone been accepted or rejected yet for the musical theater program at Carnegie Mellon?
I’ve been checking the Where Am I In The Process portal every day and there has not yet been an update. I suppose we just have to wait it out a little bit longer ;).
Word on the street is that portals will be updated at midnight March 25th.
Where did you hear that from? I hope its a week from today but I don’t want to get my hopes up…
From quite a few of MT hopefuls who apparently heard it from CMU. Of course, you never know, but that is the current information.
Several people have posted on the general CMU page on CC (the non-MT page for the college as a whole) that they called or emailed and were told letters are being sent on Wednesday the 23rd and that the portal will change at midnight on the 25th (going into the 26th). I believe last year the portal change was on the same night of the week (Friday into Saturday) and calls were made on a Wednesday but one current CMU student said calls will start on Thursday on the The Troupe so who knows. Enough people have posted about the portal change date that I tend to believe it.
^^^That is correct. Last year the portal changed on Friday at midnight or so it appears. We found out when we checked the portal at 7:30 am Saturday morning. That happened last year on the 27th-28th so the 25th-26th would be the corresponding day this year. A call was received on Sunday from Gary and received the letter the following week. Not sure when it was actually mailed.
Do you think Gary would make calls on Easter Sunday? Maybe that’s why the rumor is weekday calls this year? Just thought I would start the imaginative speculation!?
CMU emailed saying portal would be updated on Saturday 3/25. Good luck to all!
Yes, best of luck! That means that they would be mailed out today and calls probably start tomorrow or Friday, correct?
^Yes. 
Has anyone got a phone call yet?
Several confirmed calls went out yesterday to boys on the MT and Acting sides. Girls may have had calls as well, but cannot confirm.
Ok thanks!
did they call at night or during the day ?
A boy I know received a call about 4p. I did also hear of 2 girls receiving calls. Hope that helps!
According to my S’s friends, the 6 boys & 6 girls accepted for MT all received their acceptance calls last night. People were also called for Acting last night, but he wasn’t sure if all the Acting kids were called last night. I don’t think they call the priority wait list people.
How did you find this out?
My son was called last night about 7 pm PST…for the acting program. So they were making calls late their time… He was probably one of the last because his last name begins with “y”.
Congrats @mac101 on your son’s acceptance to CMU!!! That is awesome!! Happy dance for you both. My S was priority wait listed for acting and we were thrilled even though it is a long shot.
