My son was waitlisted at Chapman. Oh well. Looks like it will be CalArts but wants to see if he gets into NYU and then will make final decision.
@Mcgeok - people come off waitlists every year! If he really loves the school he can contact them and let them know it’s at the top of his list.
Thanks for the input. It was one of his top choices along with CalArts and NYU. He’s going to stay on the waitlist and we are visiting over April break. I will encourage him to write a letter. Thanks for the advice!
@Mcgeok Is it a waitlist for screen acting, theatre, or both? I agree with @MTmom2017 and think there’s a pretty good chance he could move off the wait list.
He only applied for screen acting. We are from the east coast and are heading to CA over April break to see CalArts and hopefully Chapman. Fingers crossed that he gets off the waitlist but I know he will be equally happy at CalArts. He’s such a mellow kid. I think I’m the one whose more stressed out by this crazy process. Lol
@Mcgeok are you going to arrange for him to shadow a student at Calarts? My D did that this past April but she almost was not able to because it was a testing week. They managed to make it work for her though.
It’s their accepted students tour and last fro 9-3. Not sure what to expect but parents are allowed to attend as well so we will be there too. I’m excited to see the campus.
My son applied to Chapman after hearing about it during a Summer program. He was accepted to the theatre program. Anyone have information about it — good, bad, ugly they would like to share? We live on the opposite coast and are willing to make a visit, but would like some honest opinions before we make the investment. He has other great options but we want to make sure we’re doing our due diligence.
Anyone else going to Preview Day tomorrow?
