Updated Shenandoah w/ 2020 info. Last day of auditions is 2/22. They will then meet & decide and then call before their spring break which starts 3/6. Also, from today’s info session they said that last year they yielded a larger class size (27) but they are still shooting for 18. Last year accepted 50 to end up with 27; this year will probably accept 36 to end up 18. And as an interesting note, they have not had to go their priority hold list (waitlist) in the last 7 years.

Just a heads up about UNCSA- at NY Unified they posted a callback at the end of each session and if you were not on the callback list for your session then you were no longer under consideration.

45

Thank you! My D did nyc Unifieds ! And did walk-in for two I believe SCAD AND Rutgers. She had Marymount Manhattan yesterday . It was all day but she loved it !! She still has , Syracuse, Michigan and Ferdonia all on campus . SO LOTS OF DRIVING !! Good luck to you and thank you !

46

It would be so great if College Confidential would let us edit one list at the top of the post, vs. continual reposting. But I can’t think of a better way in this format. Thank you all for the updates, keep 'em coming!

Make sure to note How/Where notifications are sent, as that one (of many!) distressing things about this process. Some schools call, some send direct emails, some are portal only. And there are even a few snail mail holdouts. And some are a combination of any of those factors.

Happy Chicago and LA Unifieds week to all who are participating! See you all back here when you’re home - we’re here to help you through the long wait.

47

cant complain out here in Chicago, I think it was last year where the polar vortex overtook the midwest at -10 degrees, today is a record high at 50+…

@erayann Does SCAD have a MT program?

52

@iowamtmom Savanna College of Art and Design - that is SCAD? Looks like they have a BFA in Performing Arts (Acting)

53

I spoke to the lady at SCAD at our local thespian society auditions. It’s a BFA in Performing Arts, however they’re growing the department. They put on a musical production each year alongside their straight plays, and they have an ensemble choir which holds concerts and performs in different venues around Georgia. It sounded interesting.

54

Has anyone gotten a YES from Montclair?>. I am waiting but seems people have only heard No’s

55

@DramaLove2020 my S received word that he’s on their waiting list (auditioned for acting though, not MT)

56

I think there was someone on the acceptances by school thread whose son is already in.

Last year, my son auditioned at Chicago Unifieds on 2/4. He was accepted on 2/26. I feel like there was a round the week before and a round on 2/26. They still had auditions after that, too… so if you’re on the cusp, it could be a while.

BTW, he LOVES Montclair!

57

@TexasMTDad - thanks… she auditioned on campus on 1/25 and is still waiting to hear something!

58

@DramaLove2020 with Chicago and LA Unifieds not even complete yet, I suspect that there are a ton of kids who still haven’t even auditioned. They are a competitive school so they probably need to see the cohort that they are choosing from before they make a decision.

59

@TexasMTDad that’s what I figured, but they said 2 weeks or so in the audition! Guess it will just be more waiting

60

Does anyone know how SCAD notifies? Auditioned for them in NY
