By any chance have you heard anything regarding talent scholarships from Chapman? I had heard it would be around the middle of the month, but imagine we wouldn’t know if they had already gone out if my D21 didn’t get one.
That’s a good question. Chapman is not at all affordable to us at this point. I’ll need to ask D to check.
Hi Lara!
Hey Wyatt !!!
My daughter was accepted this week on Monday. We haven’t heard of anyone else at this point. Was also accepted at Butler, Marymount, OSU, Dickinson BA. Waiting on all of the others. Fordham/Ailey will most likely be it for her.
Hi HMSCT108, Just wondering if you meant SUNY Purchase… when you said she was admitted on Monday
Hi No, she was admitted to Ailey/Fordham on Monday. Now word yet from Purchase. I was trying to reply to one post but I ended up replying in general. Sorry for the confusion!

My son has declined the offer from Chapman, so I’m really not sure, sorry. My son decided he wanted to attend a more diverse campus. At this point, he is just hoping for USC, but will go to one of the UCs if USC doesn’t admit him and save some money.
We are in the same boat as far as waiting. March 30 cannot come soon enough. Thank you for the reply.

I’m curious. My D is also in at Chapman but worried about the campus & Orange County. We are from the east coast so don’t know much about the school. Is the dance & performing arts more diverse than the school itself? She didn’t apply to USC even though she liked the location in LA better. But, at the last minute, she decided not to apply.
Hi! My daughter had her callback for SUNY purchase on Feb. 17th, she is also anxiously waiting to hear back. When was your callback? Just curious, since I believe I saw it takes 3-4 weeks and we’ve hit the 4 week mark. Hoping we get good news soon!
My D21 had hers on March 3rd. I am thinking they may have waited for them all to audition before making their decisions. She has a friend who auditioned on February 13th and she still has not heard either.

Oh thank you for that info. I was thinking maybe the same thing but wasn’t sure. Always feel better to hear from someone else : )

My daughter also auditioned/interviewed for Purchase on the 13th and has yet to hear. Hitting the 4 wk. mark was torturous…

Is everyone still waiting on Purchase?
Does anyone have knowledge or opinions on the following: Chapman v Peabody or a Dance/theatre option at a good school in a good location but without an audition process where an interested student could get experience in other forms of performance?
yes
D applied to Chapman, her best friend from high school went to Peabody. We felt Chapman was very commercially oriented - lots of people worked at Disneyland down the road and went into things like backing dancers for music videos. D’s friend likes Peabody (although I believe they sent everyone home part way through this semester for breaking the rules by partying!) - I think it is quite modern but not “commercial” in the same way as Chapman. Worth noting that being separate from the main campus makes the experience quite different from many other colleges. Of course the academic aspects if you do a second major/minor are also strikingly different.
