The portals all blend together, so I can’t remember for sure, but I feel like we saw status go from Under Review to Admitted and we noticed that there was a link to pay deposit that wasn’t there previously. We received the welcome packet in the mail a few days later. But the application status is no longer on his portal either, so it may have been a timing thing since we noticed that change before we got the letter. Under the Financial section do you have the option to pay deposit?
The portal seems to switch out like that at this time of day. Try back later and it should be back. We weren’t positive that this was a yes and sort of freaked out when it disappeared. It came back later that evening followed by a letter about a week later.
I called back, got a different person, she confirmed that he’s accepted. I have to say, this one is a BIG surprise, as he thought it was by far his worst audition. It just goes to show, you really can NOT judge the outcome based on your perception of how the audition went.
OMG @boatmom !!! I was just catching up on reading all the comments to catch up and then saw your posting under acceptances for Rider !
@boatmom I am hoping it is good news for your S, but proceed with caution. That happened to us last year as well and I got very excited and told D she has been accepted, which technically she had been, but not to the BFA program (redirected to BA) - I clicked on something (don’t remember exactly) and it said “Provisionally Accepted”, and a letter followed a few days later. Frankly, the way the letter was worded was so insulting (I think it said “based on the level of talent we saw at your audition we think you are better suited for another course of study”) D wouldn’t even consider the BA program there, even though the scholarship money was quite generous :-/ I hope for the sake of anyone who gets rejected or redirected from Rider that they have changed the wording! Hoping your son gets better news than we did!
Has anyone heard from Pace?
Hmm, that is a cautionary tale, @gingersnap97. I did ask the woman if this was for MT, and she said yes, but she was an admissions person, so who really knows? That is a very unfortunately worded letter, I must say. Sometimes you have to wonder what people are thinking…
Pace is still holding auditions this weekend. We were told they may start notifying as early as next week. @MomIsSupportive
@boatmom if you spoke to a real person who said he was accepted for MT, then it is probably safe to assume he is in (congrats!!!) - I am sure it is difficult to word those rejections, but we had others that showed a lot more, shall we say “tact”. We laugh about it now, but at the time, it stung.
I know at least 5 people that have been accepted to Pace. Real people!!! Lol
@gingersnap97 I was redirected into Rider’s BA Theatre Performance, and I remember thinking the letter was pretty nice, so maybe it changed? I can check the exact wording when I get home from school.
How/when did they get their notifications? @MTLUVER
@MTLUVER - accepted to the Pace BFA in MT this year already? They just finished auditions Sunday.
D just told me one of her friends was accepted to Pace and CCM.
They were called today! 4 people I know that were accepted to CCM yesterday got accepted to Pace today, and another friend of mine got a call today around 1. I think they just accepted a few people today.
@boatmom the exact same thing happened to my D’s portal yesterday and today it was updated to say that she was accepted into the program. I will keep my fingers crossed that your experience is the same. This was my D’s first acceptance - huge relief as I can now cross the “what if she gets none” worry item off my long list of things to worry about 
This was posted on fb yesterday regarding when ppl would be notified about pace decision
"You’ll all start hearing back once we finish the last round of auditions which is this weekend. Both MT and all the other acting programs "
@MTLUVER - Thanks for the Pace info! Guess they started early!
Have all the CCM MT acceptances gone out?
@stagedoormama No prob!
@etMT2020, No. There are still a few more to go out!
