I think that every program, every year makes mistakes, admits people who aren’t as good as they thought, doesn’t admit people who would be wonderful…honestly how could they not? Getting right back into it after rejection isn’t just a skill or good attitude…it is absolutely the business.
CW Post is very much a commuter school – just so you know!
I second the advice to let it out - esp here, in the safe place. That was a mistake I made last year. I was so afraid to speak, (or even type!) the fear that there might be only rejections. so while I lurked, and read obsessively - which was enormously helpful, I don’t what I would have done without it- I was still keeping everything bottled up behind a mask of “it’s all going to be fine”. And yet I was on the verge of losing it 24/7 for weeks. Sometimes I crossed over the verge, and it wasn’t pretty- still some wreckage out there to deal with. I had a conversation with a mom over the weekend who’s kid got their 1st yes (after 8 nos) from the last BFA programs they had in play. Kid and mom were so happy, and every other disappointment had gone away. Stay strong, let it out, keep the faith
I just went to the Montclair check status page. On Friday, the code was IFR which I learned meant in for review. Now, the code next to auditon is NO MUTR. Thinking this means that I didn’t get it, am I correct?
Correct …sorry
Thanks, it’s ok. It wasn’t my first choice, but it sure feels nice to be asked. 
Totally know. But, the Theater kids seem to stay around all weekend. Plus with family nearby she could leave on the weekend too is she wanted. Or head into the city to see her best friend who is at NYU. She could even live off campus with Great Aunt (never had kids, big house)
Question and it might be in a different thread: Univ of Miami portal: how do you find the status? Not admit academically but for MT? So confused.
Still waiting to hear from Hartt, Point Park, NYU Steinhardt, CCPA, Emerson. I’m anxious.
FYI. Acceptances to Belmont come in small envelopes as well! Two sheets of paper included- one white, one yellow! Get our your flashlight
Oh, dear gawd, now people have to worry about paper color?!? <> I am sitting at a Chick-fil-a waiting for D to get out of rehearsal, using the free Wifi to check CC & giggling aloud every few minutes as I read. Please no one write anything crying-worthy in the next half hour or the manager may just ask me if I “need help” or if they can call someone for me!
Cracking up @addicted2MT!!! I can hear them now… “ma’am, just relax. We have someone on our way to help you.” 
It doesn’t count as opening if I just shine a flashlight right? I was able to read enough. Belmont is a no.
@IfYouOnlyKnew - yes! “It will be their pleasure!” 8-}
Sorry, @MTmamabear.
Got two pieces of mail today. One was a no which was expected. The other was a surprise yes! A surpise because that particular school started notifying acceptances over a week ago. So hang in there if you haven’t heard either way, and best of luck.
@addicted2MT “We are sorry there was only one pickle on your sandwich.”
^^^ sorry. So “done” that this was funny in my head. Hoping it translated that way.
@MTnewbiw1 - that’s exactly my point. I totally get it. we are all so weary as we turn the corner and see the finish line. It is so close, yet for some, still so far away. Even those of us that feel we have reached the finish line are delirious with audition season fatigue. I find myself laughing at posts and wondering if they are only funny to me too. Even those blessed with multiple acceptances have to now deal with the reality of Financial Aid packages. Which schools are generous with each type of aid, which are not, who allows stacking of scholarships, who doesn’t? Sighhhh… I just wanna have a Mother-Daughter day with no worries, expectations or concerns that includes manis, pedis, lunch and shopping for unnecessary, yet fun dorm supplies and decorations!
Oy. S opened the mail to a no from his safety-ish program and a waitlist letter from Point Park…the worst was, he opened the no while hanging out with his best friend who goes to school a city away…they were sitting there trying to think of ways to justify it, like “we probably wouldn’t get to hang out much anyway”…all our sensitive Mom hearts break when we see moments like these. There will be a light (flashlight?!) at the end of this tunnel, though! <3 only two weeks until April 1 <3
