Class of 2020 (sharing, venting, etc)

@MTkid2020 wow congrats :slight_smile: is she going to go there? Do you know how many other calls were sent out last night? Was she accepted into the MT program? What time did they call? (sorry for all the questions but Iā€™m just so anxious hear back!)

and thank you @HappyDancer98 for the warm wishes! So sweet of you!

@broadwaybabyyy She hasnā€™t made any college decisions yet, as we still have to visit. Yes, she was accepted to the MT program and it was later at night. I have heard of people getting calls this weekend.

@KaMaMom She was accepted into the Musical Theatre Dept. At UMich, not music ed. She got accepted on a walk-in.

@Femalegiant ā€¦ I guess itā€™s possible that we are talking about 2 different girls whoā€™s first names begin with H.

But I wasnā€™t aware that you could just walk-in to a U of Michigan Musical Theatre audition either.

@Femalegiant ā€¦ bfa?

Not sure, but she was able to do a walk-in. Yes, BFA Musical Theatre. I know of two girls who have been accepted.

Well, that seems a tad unfair, considering everyone else had to go through prescreens. How about a bit of transparency, U of M?

I mean, technically they say you canā€™t do walk-ins ever! Without having applied/pre-screened, So maybe it was a special circumstance?

Being a natural skeptic, this tends to confirm my belief that some spots in top programs are granted way before the audition process beginsā€“to favorite students, legacies, children of superstars. Then again, no one promised a level playing field.

Lots of speculation.

@destiny95 ā€¦ Iā€™m just going to come right out and say this because if my kid auditioned at U of M, I would want to know.

Before @Femalegiant edited their post, they said that this person that was accepted knew the auditor and they allowed the girl to walk in and audition.

TBH, thatā€™s not anything Iā€™ve ever heard of happening at U of M.

Ah, @KaMaMom, i posted my previous comment about favoritism before @Femalegiant edited out the information that one of the auditors allowed the girl to audition as a walk-in. I truly hope UofM reads these posts, though I expect they donā€™t really care about the opinions of students/families who donā€™t make the cut.

Just as info- Someone just posted that their D got notification tonight about an early access MT offer for Michigan on the Theatre/Drama Major section- so maybe calls are going out? Best of luck to all who auditioned for UMich!

@KaMaMom
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

(The amount of Hā€™s is huge subtext forā€¦I never got a pre-screen result from UM because my transcripts arrived a week late even though my PS was in, a month early. So they shut down my whole artistic application and bypassed my pre-screen)

Okay, Iā€™m officially calling shennanigans on people receiving U of M MT acceptances.

Walk in auditions? Early access MT offer? A post about an acceptance posted here on the MT board, then edited w/ gobbledeegook and moved to the Yale forum?

Craziness abounds. :-"

Maybe this is all a dream.

No idea! We donā€™t have a horse in that race. :wink: Just sharing what was posted over on the other major. :smiley:

So have ppl been accepted at UM yet or not??

@ParachuteBoy can you confirm the name of that FB group? Nothing comes up for The Troupe, that we can see but it sounds like a great group. Thanks
