Carnegie Mellon Theatre Decisions 2019

The decisions are approaching so I thought it would be best to start this thread to share info!

when do they come in?

@theaterfnkj there’s no exact date for now, but last year they came out around March 12 and historically its been the second or third week of March

Rumor has it phone call acceptances for CMU MT are going out this Thursday night

@jacksmaxs oh good! keep us updated if that happens! im a DP so hopefully that means ill hear sometime soon after :slight_smile:

@elenadel some people have received calls, it looks like mostly boys right now and a few girls. A mix of MT and Acting.

@jacksmaxs yeah…they almost never call design kids so I’ll probably have to wait until March 30

My daughter is waitlisted for MT. Hoping for the best!

@carriemc95 Congrats!! Us design/production kids are still waiting!

Any idea what the procedure is for the those waitlisted? We have been told it is a very small list for MT, but does anyone know if it is OK to contact them to find out where the student is on the list? We are needing to plan travel for spring break, and want to make a visit if we can, but don’t want to waist the time and money if it really is a LONG shot. Any thoughts? Such a gamble…

@luvbloominroses I don’t know details about the WL, but I’d have your child reach out via email to the auditor they really connected with and say something like:

Hello ,
First, let me thank you for the great audition experience. I really enjoyed my time in the room with you, especially
_________________________. I’m so honored to still be in consideration for a spot in Carnegie’s BFA program.
I have never actually been to (Pittsburgh, campus, etc), and would love to plan a visit. Unfortunately, time and finances are a bit of an issue. I do not want you to think that the reason I haven’t committed to a visit is due to lack of interest. It’s the opposite - I’m very interested, as you are my top choice!

Do you all have any idea of how many kids typically come off of the wait list each year? Is there any way to know where I stack up? If there is a real chance that I could make it off the list and land a coveted spot, then I’ll do whatever is necessary to make the trip!
Thank you again,
