Who’s been accepted? Who’s considering the offer? Our D is seriously considering it…top of her list at the moment. So, I’d love to hear other’s thoughts on the program - good, bad, or otherwise. Thanks in advance!
@josh703 got in a couple of years ago and makes it sound like a fabulous opportunity. If he doesn’t chime in, maybe PM him?
@janine1 @sgarden What are your kids thinking at this point re: their CCM admits?
@momto2artists My D is very excited about CCM’s offer and about their program in general! She LOVES what she has learned about their training methods, their faculty, and the current students there that she knows. Also, CCM’s communication with my D (and with me on a couple of occasions) has been really great throughout this whole process (application and audition matters, financial aid issues, admissions questions). Solid, clear, and responsive communication from a university means a lot to me as a parent. Some of the other schools to which my D applied have had really poor communication. I can’t say yet which way my D is leaning re: a final decision. She’s waiting for more financial info from a couple of schools, and also waiting for BoCo’s admission decision later this week. I think she’ll probably be announcing her decision this weekend, and after that I can announce it too. 
Good luck to your daughter!!
@janine1 Thank you! We’ve experienced the same great communication with CMM. I’m anxiously awaiting the financial info that is supposed to come the end of this week. That will certainly play into the final decision. Also waiting on one more (a stretch for sure) - NYU/Tisch. Hopefully we can join you in an official announcement in the next couple of weeks. BOL to your D, too!
@janine1 @sgarden How is the decision making process going for your kids? We are basically settled, just tying up a few lose ends. Wondering if our kids will be classmates this fall?
@momto2artists It turns out my D won’t be attending CCM. She’s chosen another school. I have to wait a bit to post about that publically. I can say, however, that she felt really sad about emailing CCM with this news because…well, every road not taken is a loss in a way, and she really loved this program!
@janine1 I’m sorry that they won’t be together, but thrilled that your D has made a choice that she’s happy and excited about! Can’t wait to read your story soon. I hope to be able to post ours in the next week or so, too.
@momto2artists Congratulations to you all! CCM! Wow!!
I am a little late to the thread, but if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM. I am a rising senior in the program and have nothing but good things to say about the school. It’s been really great for me! The class sizes are small, the faculty is very invested in the students, and I’ll be graduating with Union Membership in both SAG/AFTRA and EMC! I just wish we could offer more for scholarship. It’s a fantastic program with a lot of (especially very recent) alumni landing TV shows and Movies!
The market for actors in Cincinnati is small but mighty and a bunch of us CCM students have had opportunities to get professional work while still in school both in Theatre and Film!
@josh703 Thanks for the input! Any thoughts on housing options? Also, are you in state, or have you been able to establish OH residency? We’ll be up on Sunday/Monday to visit Very Dumb Kids rehearsal and classes.
I would suggest living in the dorms freshman year. CCM folks are usually placed on their own floor in Siddall Hall and it is nice to be in one place with your whole year from all the departments. It helps to make the transition a little easier. That said Off Campus apartments are close and maybe even a little bit cheaper than the dorms. I will see you both on Monday! Let me know if you have any other questions before then!
