@Divamamacita LOL, I’ve been sitting here thinking “wait a minute I thought @destiny95 was part of our craziness last year?!”
@Divamamacita @shopforpunky lol feel free to PM me with any questions! Hope your year is going amazing!!
Same @shopforpunky! Good for you, @destiny95!

@momma2four and @WTXMom - My D is a freshman at OU and delirously happy. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, or if you want suggestions of where to grab lunch on the day of auditions! BAL to your kids! Boomer Sooner!!!
In case anyone didn’t see it on the other thread- seems like all the kids who auditioned for BU got an email today (my D did) saying they will be posting decisions on the portal March 19th. Though I wish they weren’t waiting so dang long! 8-|
Okay- so with no news on CCM and Pace this week - we are at Elon! Horrible drive through freezing rain/snow. D was so funny last night “I will Musical theater the shit out of this audition” (karate kicks). This am she is legit a zombie
Elon is a long long day. Beautiful school. Acorn has good coffee and sandwiches!
We are flying to Oklahoma City this afternoon for the final audition tomorrow. I must be nuts, but I am almost sad that it is the end.
You’re not nuts! I’ve said it many times - no matter how crazy the audition process was, I really do miss all that one-on-one time with my MT girl! Especially now that she’s in college.
@SongnDanceMom - I’m driving to OKC for Ds final audition tomorrow and I’m torn between not wanting this to end and wanting to put it far behind me!!! Ive never really gotten to spend so much time w/her, at least since she was a very little kid, so doing this I think will make seeing her go away to college next year a little bit easier b/c I know she’s ready…
Ughhhhh… Heading to Kent State and my flight got delayed because of a maintenance issue. Probably going to miss the connecting flight 
Yeah, the audition trail can be crazy. When my son and wife went to audition at Pace they were in NYC for 3 days. They toured Montclair, toured Pace, auditioned at Pace, and still found time to see Les Miserables, Something Rotten, and Hamilton!
Definitely not nuts, @SongnDanceMom ! I felt the same and, remarkably, so did my D. Last year, she said she was going to especially miss Unifieds. This year, though, she is happily ensconced in her program, and she laughs that she said that last year (as one of her coaches laughingly predicted last year that she would).
In fact, we stay at Hiltons a lot (members). Every time she grabs one of their yummy muffins, she says her stomach does a little flip and clenches a bit because her body apparently associates them with college auditions even though we had stayed in them before, during, and after Unifieds at stays not related to the auditions! Lol
Habitual lurker, infrequent poster. My D will be class of 2021. Thank you class of 2020 (& 2019, 2018 too) for your frank and honest commentary. In a time that is so stressful & busy it’s wonderful that you all take the time to share the good,bad & ugly of your journey. I can’t believe its notification time for you guys already. Have fingers & toes crossed for all.
I have been lurking too. My D is 2020 and I wish I had known about these threads much sooner. They are very helpful. I feel like when we started this adventure this year we really had no idea what we were doing. For the last three weeks, since we completed chicago unifieds I have been following the discussions, watching posts and getting nervous seeing the acceptances come in. Today D got acceptance to Harrt, one of her dream schools. Feeling less pressure now.
Congrats @TYTEMOM Hartt is a wonderful program.
So one of my daughters portals updated today to show she needs to submit her final transcript…good sign? Reading tea leaves?
Yay @TYTEMOM ! My d got into Hartt after NY Unifieds! Congrats! Still waiting on a couple of reach schools, but she is very excited about Hartt.
Since this is a venting thread, I’ll vent a bit here. I feel like I’m being a total whiner, but I’m just really worried about this. I’ve only been accepted to one BA program (Rochester in Michigan) and one BFA (Ohio Northern) and I’m just worried none of my other options will come through. I just don’t see myself at either of the above schools and I don’t want to feel like I have to settle. There’s a lot I wish I had done differently with this process, and I’m starting to even consider a gap year and retrying. I don’t want to go through this again at all, but I just want to go to a school that’s my best fit. I’m waiting on results from 3 more schools, none of which I feel confident in that I’ll get an acceptance. I just feel extremely “stuck” right now. Anyone know how to get out of a slump like this? (And PLEASE no "You’ll end up where you’re meant to be, I literally get told that by someone each time I’m rejected and I’m tired of hearing it lol!)
