I know today was a big day of auditions, there were 2 last month, and another NEXT Saturday. Whew! Anyone (parents and students a like) who attended these auditions, I’d love to hear from you. Please share about your experiences for future auditionees or shoot me a PM if you’d like to chat privately/hear from an alumni!
Best! Breathe! You will end up where you are meant to Be!

Does anyone know when Coastal sends out decisions?
Last year my D heard on March 10th during the first group of acceptances. The Seniors were at Showcase at the beginning of March, so we heard when they returned. The Showcase is March 6 & 7 this year, so just guessing maybe sometime after they return? Best of luck!
Oh- DUH, I also forgot to mention they are on Spring Break through March 12th as well- so that will probably factor in.
@stagedoormama is correct they are on Spring Break AND at Senior Showcase and some of the professors are at SETC (busy season). I would not expect anything before the end of the week after their Spring Break.
All good information…thanks! The waiting is grueling…lol.
@AlexaMT any word on when decisions will be sent out? And will it be an email or in the portal? Thank you!
Hey…I get to reply before AlexaMT. Makes me cool. Final decisions are very close to being solidified. It takes DAYS to make certain everything is in order. Then, we typically roll out invitations in blocks. For instance, the Design and Production students were notified by email on Monday. So, if you’ve heard nothing, that’s not a bad thing. Hang in there. I promise, we are working diligently. Typically, we let students know via email and snail mail. Although the email comes first by about 10 days give or take.
@kjgc - I’m busy having a “snow day”!
@AlexaMT My son auditioned in Chicago and hasn’t received an email with a decision yet. Have all emails been sent and should he call Coastal?
@AlexaMT Do you know how many they are accepting for the BFA MT class?
@kjgc might be able to help with these questions as well if Alexa is busy. 
@kjgc Could you tell me if all emails have been sent or only acceptances? If my son hasn’t received anything, does that mean he was not accepted, AKA rejected? Should I call? 
Same with my D, auditioned at Chicago unifieds and hasn’t received a decision.
Good Evening everyone. It is my understanding that emails for all acceptances will be completed tomorrow. Then waitlisted folks next. If the faculty felt that another school might be a better choice, you will hear early next week. If you haven’t heard by Wednesday the 23nd, send me a PM. I wish you all the very best.
12 is the perfect number, but we’ve had slightly bigger classes, as well as slightly smaller. How that helps. (Looking for even male/female ratio)
@RosesMT we send all decisions at the same time. That way we can consider the company they will form.
@CATenorMom I detest the “rejected” term. There are too many factors. But I get it. My son is on college for music and we went through this process as well. The waitlist and other emails will be sent after the acceptances. I wish we could do everything at once, but the way we do things is really individual.
@kjgc thank you for the info!! We are dying here. Coastal is tops for my D and we are praying hard!!
@AlexaMT thank you too! We all LOVED audition day, the campus, faculty, students!! Top notch! My D would absolutely love to go there. Getting a little scared since we haven’t heard anything, but will continue to hope and pray!!
As someone who has personally helped send the emails, they all go out one by one. As @kjgc said (and he’s always better than me at these things), it’s a very individual and sometimes long process. Keeping fingers crossed for everyone.
Please feel free to message me on her if anyone would like to chat further!
