Class of 2023 MT Artistic Acceptance Notifications: How/When/Where

@Kristiern1 IUBloomington sent out first round of yeses last week, but maybe not the waitlist notifications.

@posivibes - when did she find it on the portal? We have been checking every day, sometimes more than once! Portal still active, but no result, although we can see from looking at their database of other students (called IC Peers), that they have 8 or 9 accepted MT students, and another 130 or so still waiting to hear!

First time poster, long time spectator! I was at the Manhattan School of Music auditions yesterday and was told that decisions would come out on March 29th. Just thought I’d pass along to anyone else who has or will do an auditioned or has a child who will.

@32barMom I’m confused about IC peers. Could you tell me how to find only the MT students? Also, IC peers appears to be user created. In other words, it looks to me like a student either opts in or doesn’t. I don’t think Ithaca itself is putting lists together on IC Peers. But maybe I’m mistaken.

Also, any idea how many boy/girl MT students Ithaca takes? (Offers and/or yield).

Thanks for any info/guidance.

@bhappyjack do you know anyone who got a yes? I haven’t heard of anyone hearing anything (other than from the fall audition). Did they hear through email?

@toowonderful Someone on the NYU RD thread said they know of someone who got accepted to Tisch for visual arts in the past day or so and they were RD. Also someone else said that at their Steinhardt audition they were told they may hear earlier than April 1. But from all I know and heard at Tisch info session it will be “by April 1” and everyone gets the decision at the same time. Even NYU admissions had an instagram story the other day where they answered that RD will be released “April 1”.

@“boola boola” It is user created, so it may not be the entire population. It you go into the portal, go to IC PEERS, chose members, on the left hand side you can chose by major and it will narrow the list to the major you search for. So there could be other people with offers that are not captured in that group, because they did not sign up, but it does give an indication that offers are being made. the students with black bars running across the bottom of their photographs have received offers.

@NYDreammom - perhaps you are correct, but that would be a significant anomaly as NYU has always been an “all at once” school. Perhaps they were given some “off the record” news


Hmm
when I search theatre or musical theatre all of the students have green bars under their photo.

@MTBACALLY - green bars if you click on the student name and go into the detail, but if you just look at the page where it brings up all the students there is a black bar under the accepted ones - it saves you from opening each student name to see if accepted or not. You can quickly scan the 3 pages of students and see how many are accepted!

@32barMom It was on the portal Friday morning. At the top of the page. But no notice of this came via e-mail.

@posivibes - That is so odd that they wouldn’t email and tell you!! But great news - congratulations!

I see now, thanks. Looks like Ithaca has a full class for MT. I count 11-12 males and 5-6 females. Oh well. This whole process is really such a joke.

@MTBACALLY - I didn’t see that many. Did you sort by Freshman?

@NYDreammom - just take anything you hear from the NYU RD thread with a big pinch of salt. People have posted blatant falsehoods, jokes, wishful thinking in the past, some people post just to punk other students and there’s a new rumor about an Albert “tell” every week and they all get rehashed, even the ones that have been thoroughly debunked. A few students may get notified early if they are in line for special scholarships or come in through special channels but NYU releases their RD admissions all at once, not bit by bit, and it’s usually mid to late week in the last week of March. They always say “by April 1”.

Thanks @CaMom13 and @toowonderful - agreed, big grain of salt :wink: At least we are getting close!

@azmtmom13 IU must have been reading our minds. Son just got a message through acceptd that he is on waitlist for MT.

@32barMom I searched Musical theatre, and about 20 came up. I believe two are current student, one is a transfer, and I clicked on each of the rest one by one and they all showed accepted for MT.

My son’s Ithaca portal says accepted into Musical Theatre BFA. Interestingly enough it says “on Tuesday, February 26” but it didn’t say that yesterday! So keep checking!

@Kristiern1 Congratulations on you son getting on the IUMT waitlist!
