@NYC3mom and @MTmama42 I am a CCU MT parent (not an acting parent), but I can tell you they do have a TON of cross over. The acting majors have just as much opportunity to get leads in musicals as the MT’s (and happens all the time). Same with MT’s getting in the plays. Or the PT majors for that matter. From my knowledge while acting majors aren’t “required” to take dance and voice, many of them do- they just need to inquire with the department. I know of many acting majors who take voice lessons and are in the same dance classes as the MT’s. If you have specific questions, you can reach out to Ken and he should be able to give you the full scoop. Congrats on the acceptances! Chants Up!
@stagedoormama Thank you so much, so helpful!
Sorry- new to this. I was referring to my child’s performing arts high school in NYC that last year accepted three to CMU. This year I know of two so far. (I didn’t realize just how crazy competitive the school is (CMU) so I understand the skepticism, but find it odd that people would think someone would post here to lie about it. Best of luck to all.
So may I ask if the two that got accepted were musical theater or acting? does anyone know? And big Congrats to them, that’s amazing!
@foozball - I don’t think people were saying YOU lied about CMU. They were speaking about some young person who had posted in a FB group before calls went out. Seems like you gave very accurate info. 
My S’s CMU portal updates with a notification that admission decision will be released on March 30th. Did all MT and acting applicants see this update on the portal? Or is this a bad sign?
@FamLawTX I heard CMU isn’t done with their calls for MT & Acting. I don’t think the portal means anything at this time.
Where did you hear that?
Does anyone know if Wagner is making all calls tonight? Trying to gauge if not getting a call yet means another “no” is on the way.
For us on the west coast these calls you are all getting is a nightmare… there’s no way they’re on the phone after 9:00pm. So nervous for my D. Two early yeses but not high on her list. Waiting on eight. This month is going to suck.
@FamLawTX sorry I meant to replay to you :-). Where did you hear that CMU wasn’t done with calls. Acting in particular. Thanks (stressed out mom!)
@Abutilion it was actually @FROG65 that mentioned that calls were not finished. I have far more questions than I do answers where all of this is concerned. I am a fellow stressed out mom!
My D saw this. From that I understand this is for general CMU admission. I just want to know if all call for MT and Acint have gone out and if wait list has as well.
Has anyone gotten an email, etc from CMU? Or is it only these calls that we’ve heard about? Certainly not done the way it was expected.
@FamLawTX @Abutilon @Boola boola My D knows a current student that gave that info. Her Friend knows someone & also got that same info. There is also a FB page the kids are in & that same info was given. My D and her friend are also wtg on calls or notices on their status. I believe it is credible info.
I saw people post about Pace MT, anything about the acting programs? Have they started and do they make calls too?
@NoMTinMD Someone that was at Pace Acting & FTVC auditions last weekend said that at the Info Session, they said result letters will be going out this Saturday.
@love2share thanks! Wouldn’t email be cheaper and quicker!
Email just arrived from Cornish College of the Arts
@NoMTinMD There’s a separate acting thread - this one’s mainly about MT - although there’s crossover, of course!
