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

My D received the FSU letter in the mail today. We live in AZ.

Has anyone received or heard of anyone whoā€™s received an alternate list for FSU?

@frisbee3 yes, my D has a friend who received the FSU alternate letter

@Kkrazie My kiddo is on break this week so I thought weā€™d talk about the acceptances she has and if sheā€™s interested in a redirect at any she hasnā€™t heard from. Do you know if Missouri has a program they redirect to? Any thoughts on that? She was offered in state tuition for her grades so itā€™s something to consider.

If anyone else wants to weigh in on schools that might smart to do the BA on our list, please do.
Weā€™re specifically curious about:
Ball State
Point Park
U of AZ
OU
Texas Tech
Missouri State

@MTMama23 the in-state tuition is a big perk & something to truly evaluate. At Missouri State they have several BA students that re-audition for BFA programs in early fall semester. Some got into BFA program is my understanding. But they have to reaudition. Iā€™d call school for best understanding of options. Iā€™d also ask BAs availability to casting opportunities. The tuition & dorms costs are so affordable compared to other schools. Lots of cool majors in the arts in general at Missouri State above and beyond BFA MT/Acting & Dance. My younger child is looking at stage management/tech theater/design tracks & will apply to Missouri State when time. Iā€™m not certain how Missouri State redirects. But itā€™s helpful not to be indebt with college tuition in so many fiscal ways. The big positive of a BA vs. a BFA is the ability to double-major which is a smart option. This was something we weighted with TCU, SMU, OU & OKCU our year. But Missouri State was best fiscally & it tipped the scale towards Missouri State. Sending positive vibes your way. So hard to evaluate all the options.

Ball Stateā€™s entire department is solid. Great faculty, great students. The Theatre Creation BA is less performance centric and because there are both acting BFAā€™s and musical theatre BFAā€™s, the BAā€™s donā€™t always get cast. Having said that, my daughterā€™s roommate who is a BA has been cast at least twice in Cave shows - the smaller black box theatre. My daughter is a senior MTO (musical theatre option) and can point your daughter in the right direction if she wants to talk to a BA student. Also, there is an opportunity to re-audition for the MTO in the spring - they take a small handful each year depending on the needs of the class. I think 3 or 4 were accepted by reauditioning in my daughters year out of about 30 kids who re-auditioned. Canā€™t say enough good things about the Department of Theatre and Dance. PM me if you would like additional information.

@minicp - was the alternate letter recently or right after the calls?

@frisbee3 it was sent a few days after the calls. My D received her No letter on Thursday.

@minicp - sorry to hear about the no ?

My D has not received a call or a letter from FSU and itā€™s driving her crazy. We live just a few hours from Tallahassee and didnā€™t think it should take this long to arrive. She is assuming itā€™s a no but would still like to know for sure.

Same @azmtmom13.

@roadiemom2019 - it does seem odd that the nos wouldnā€™t have gone out pretty quickly because they said they rarely go to the WL. Weā€™re still waiting as well and assuming itā€™s a no as well.

@frisbee3 @azmtmom13 Posted by Michelle on her pageā€¦Please give it until Tuesday. If you donā€™t receive it, please send me an email from the email account on the application and I will reply with a copy.

@frisbee3 thank you. she was upset the day the calls went out but our rule is you have 24 hours to cry then you move on. Thankfully she did get ā€œthe callā€ from ShenCo so that definitely made things better.

@minicp - That incredible about Shenandoah! That was the no that hurt the most here for my DD. Wasnā€™t meant to beā€¦

@frisbee3 Iā€™m so sorry about that noā€¦I hate that any of our kids have to go through that. I am sure that your D will end up where sheā€™s meant to be!!!

Has anyone heard from Hartt recently? My D auditioned Feb 15 but hasnā€™t heard anything yet.

@mtmom1967, Hartt is notorious for taking forever to notify. Last year my D auditioned on Feb. 16 and got her acceptance on March 29.

Anyone heard form University of OK yet? Iā€™m sure itā€™s a no at this point, just wondering if anyone else has heardā€¦

My sonā€™s girlfriend got accepted at Hartt for Acting. Email, beginning of last week. My son auditioned for Hartt MT, nothing yet.
