@IfYouOnlyKnew When I get the algorithm worked out,I’ll share it with you and we can BOTH enjoy our new island home!
Just got a NO from Pace MT prescreen.
So hard when your D’s heart is set on MT but most of her Yes’s are for Acting. I keep reminding her that she had a cold when she did the prescreen videos (we were late jumping in this year and the videos HAD be done by deadline, cold or no.) And I remind her that she passed some very selective pre-screens last year when she wasn’t sick.
I’m glad she applied to Acting prescreens and glad she’s passed them so far. (She didn’t even consider acting major last year.)
Just got a yes from Elon. Passed Syracuse, Penn State, and Michigan, and got a no from Ithaca. All done with prescreens! Good luck to everyone still waiting and break a leg/merde for unifieds and future auditions.
Yay! Just heard a yes from Elon for Feb. 17th audition!! That’s it for prescreens now thank god (Passed- Ithaca, UMich, Pace, Syracuse, UMiami, Indiana, Elon) (No from Penn State)
@daughtersdreams - training in acting does not preclude gettting cast as an MT- or the other way around. In fact, I know 2 MTs (one from BW and one from Michigan) who took 1st semester off to study acting full time.
Is your S or D still waiting, @cpx4gb? If so, I would definitely call or email them! Elon sure made everybody wait, but I’m pretty sure they said it would be BY 1/18.
@toowonderful I’m not sure what you mean “took 1st semester off to study acting full time”? Do you mean they booked a paid acting role and left college for a semester?
First two prescreens, Syracuse and Ithaca, got no’s. Saw it wasn’t working reworked my material and received two yes’s from Penn State and Pace, Don’t lose hope everything will work out in the end!
I’ve been reading around CC but am new to posting so here goes. My D did prescreens for UMich, Pace, Texas State, Shenandoah, Penn, FSU, UCF and only passed Shenandoah and UCF. Was kind of disappointing but as I read along, I see there is really no rhyme or reason, and I say that because I see students that, for example, pass UMich but not Penn or Pace…I mean my thought process is (and I could be wrong) but if a kid passes UMich - then what did another big school not see? So I’m going to rationalize, for my sanity and that of my daughter, that the “timing” was off. Maybe we should have submitted earlier, maybe they aren’t looking for a latina this semester:) Anyway, we attended NYC Unifieds and my D auditioned for Montclair, BOCO, Ball State, Shenandoah, Point Park, CCM, Marymount (on campus) and next weekend we head to Emerson and BW on campus. We will also hit UCF on campus but not until March. And that’s all she wrote. Just like everyone else, hoping for at least one offer. My D has already been academically accepted to: Montclair State, Ball State (big scholarship), Marymount (nice size scholarship), Pace (received BIG academic scholarship same day the “no” to prescreen came- such a smack in the face), Texas State, and Point Park. Whew!! Prayers:)
