CCU Class of 2023

@Divamamacita my son auditioned at Chicago Unifieds and was accepted to MT BFA.

My son auditioned in Chicago and was accepted into MT.

Thanks @kittym and @Kristiern1 - always looking for a rhyme or reason - my son really hit it off with the auditor, so we were a bit surprised when he got the “no.”

Is anyone still waiting for a decision from Coastal MT program?
Auditioned in Chicago and still no word

Yes, my D auditioned at CCU in Jan and still has not heard anything. @citygirl529

I am sorry to bother you about this, but we haven’t heard anything.
Did you get a no through email? @Divamamacita

@citygirl529 and @Kdayeinva - You should have heard through email as long as you have applied and been academically accepted into the university.

Please reach out to Department chair Ken Martin (I cant post his email here but it’s easily findable on the CCU website) and if you still haven’t heard in a week or so, shoot me a PM.

Were you able to get in touch with anyone regarding your D’s decision?? @Kdayeinva

@citygirl529 If you haven’t heard- definitely reach out to Ken, but just so you know he has been out all this week. I believe he will be back Monday.

Does anyone know how likely it is that Coastal will pull from the waitlist (based on prior years)? I’ve searched CC, but can’t find anything on the topic. And I know that just because it might have happened in prior years, doesn’t mean it’ll happen this year. My S is on the “very narrow” waitlist and Coastal is his top choice. So, fingers crossed and praying hard. :smile:

@HancoK01MT - I can’t say how “likely” it is, but I know that they do occasionally go to the waitlist, depending on the year. Fingers crossed for your S!

@AlexaMT
Still no word - and I can’t PM as I am new to CC and don’t have that option.
Could you PM me??

@citygirl529 You should be able to pm. You only need 11 posts and you have 20. :slight_smile: Just go up to the little letter icon at the top by your “name” and pm from there.

Thank you @stagedoormama

Are any CCU 2023 MTs doing Honors College too?

@gatorbridget My S plans to (if he gets off the waitlist) :smile:

@gatorbridget yes! My D is doing it! I learned that about 1/4 of the MT kids do!

Has anyone checked into the Physical Theatre semester in Italy? Any idea on price? Thanks!

@4angels Not sure on the price, but if you are a Physical Acting major - you spend your Junior year studying in Italy. Other majors can do a semester if they can fit it into their schedule. My son isn’t able to go, but we have friends whose children are there now - and love it. Glad to share our experience if anyone has questions.

@4angels , my D spent the year in Italy at Accademia dell’Arte as a Physical Theatre major. The year that she went, several of her CCU classmates that were MTs and straight Acting also went for just one semester. For the PTs, the overall price was a little less because we were charged in-state tuition for the year (and we are out of state). I don’t think that was the case for the semester students though. Throughout the years, there have been changes to the abroad program ie: where CCU students are housed, which classes satisfy what gen ed and program requirements, etc.

While my D was there, there were plans on the way to change the curriculum for the BFA program as in what classes were needed to satisfy each track: Acting, MT and PT. For students that came in with some credits already (like from AP classes), it would be a little easier to do a semester at ADA.

Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions.
