Dance Auditions & Decisions 2018/2019

@SammiGirl I know of two other waitlisted USC girls besides your daughter and mine. I’m assuming that the girls will replace any girl declining. Fingers crossed there is movement. What is your daughter’s backup plan? I suppose a waitlist is better than a rejection, but it drags out the agony.

@SCMHAALUM Sorry to hear about your son. He is at an amazing school so he must be a bright young man very capable of improving on their program.

GL to all that are waiting on NYU decisions today!

DD waitlisted at NYU. devastated to say the least. I don’t even know if anyone get in off of the waitlist.

I’m sorry @dkmm1973 - was that your DD’s top choice?

It was.

Hopefully someone decides to attend a different school so your DD can have the spot! Has anyone heard anything from University of Arizona regarding dance merit scholarships? I know I have already asked this on this thread, but I’m just curious if anyone else has heard anything?
Best of luck to all your children as they hear back from schools!

@linda743 Good to know, thank you. It really does sound like there are only a few on USC’s list so you never know. My daughter will likely go to U Michigan. She plans to double major and really wanted strong academics in the other fields she is interested in. What is your daughter’s plan?

Is anyone else waiting for results from Indiana University (Ballet)? My daughter auditioned March 1, and they said the results would arrive no later than April 1. (I do realize that technically leaves two more days!) We’ve been anxiously checking the mail every afternoon for the last week and a half. We know the chances are extremely slim she’ll get in, or that she’d get any money if she did, but it would be nice to know so she can make her final decision!

@SammiGirl My DD is not really sure yet. She has some wonderful options, but hasn’t made any decision yet.

@dkmm1973 My daughter made it but she will be going to U of Arizona. We just came off of a cruise w no internet so she learned today . She’s going to email them by Monday. Hopefully that opens up a spot for your DD.?

@dkmm1973 I know 3 kids (including my son) turning down NYU because of the high cost last year. I think there is quite some move on the wait list. Best wishes!

My DD accepted admission for NYU Tisch for dance… anyone else going in fall?

@thedancermom My DD was accepted, but still weighing her options. Definitely leaning toward NYU.

@thedancermom and @linda743 do you know how summer at NYU works? Do they take both sessions of the summer residency? Is there extra tuition and room/board for summer on top of what came in the FA package?

Are you planning on attending Day on the Square or Weekend on the square?

Did your DD’s already observe classes?

Sorry to throw out so many questions!

@Undercovermom1 and @thedancermom
Those are all great questions! I’m not at sure at all about the summer. She’ll attend a Day on the Square and observe another day of classes. She observed in the fall once already. We are also going to try to see on of their shows this week.

@linda743 sounds like to must be pretty close to NYU. I’m trying to work out a visit. I honestly wish that decisions came out a month ago so we wouldn’t be rushed into fitting in travel plans now.

Keeping my fingers crossed. I’ve been out of the country with my senior for spring break. She is in at Purchase and she is getting excited about it. Such a crazy and stressful time.

@dkmm1973 My DD will be attending Purchase too ?. Looking forward to seeing how the next 4 years go!

My daughter got a phone call from George Mason because a spot opened up for her. She’s the only one they are taking off of the waitlist. Any thoughts on George Mason’s program?
