Reading through this thread and saw your post from Nov… my D auditioned in October I believe.
So helpful to read all these posts! Wish I had visited this site earlier! My DD still trying to decide between a commitment/deposit toward NYU or Purchase (she is leaning toward Purchase because of the curriculum, she wants intense ballet and specific modern genres curriculum). She got a very nice financial package from NYU, but still costly nonetheless. Waitlisted for both USC and Juilliard, which perhaps was a blessing in disguise as it gave her some time to strongly consider the other programs and their respective curriculums. Purchase, USC and Juilliard were her top three with no clear frontrunner, she saw pros and cons for all). Also accepted to BOCO, PPU, OU, and SMU. Grateful to be waitlisted but as someone said above, it soooo drags out the process for sure. She is planning on making a decision and if she comes off a waitlist we will cross that bridge if or when that happens! Is anyone accepting to NYU or Purchase? Many of her mentors are suggesting Purchase as the perfect fit for her as she wants modern and is interested in concert dance in a modern/contemporary company. She knows dancers at both programs that are very, very happy! Anyone committed to Purchase or NYU?
Just curious… Anyone else’s kid still on a waiting list?
Yup.
yep!
Is anyone waiting to hear back from the pace waitlist?
@dancergirl201426 , Yep.
My D is an alternate. So far nothing…
Anyone else still waiting for their dancer to make a decision? ?
Thanks for everyone’s input… After being on a waiting list at what was thought to be my daughter’s top choice and being told by the director she was “very high up” on the waiting list, a decision was made last week. My daughter continued to update and touch base every few weeks, and last week she emailed and was told they had such an amazing response that they really had no need to go into the waiting list. (Had she not emailed him, she would have been left hanging indefinitely). IMO, she was really treated poorly and dragged through a process that was never going to come through. To be fair, my daughter did come to the realization that Purchase Dance Conservatory was really the perfect program for her months ago, but thought she wanted “the big school” - status of program, type of program, incredible faculty, proximity to NYC and many other pros… That “other” school showed their true colors and what was thought to be her number 1, really wasn’t and she would have spent 4 years regretting the decision. Funny how these things come together. She is truly excited about her decision to go to Purchase.
@IKJ my daughter had a somewhat similar experience last year. She is so happy at her current school but was devastated when she was not accepted to what she thought was her dream school. Perhaps she would have been completely happy there too, but it’s nice to know that she’s so happy where she’s at. And she wouldn’t have ever known that had “dream school” accepted her.
@IKJ somewhat similar situation here other than feeling like she’s been strung along. She was told that her status is priority waitlist and I know she’s been hoping for almost six weeks that it would turn into an acceptance. This past week she’s allowed her mind to focus on her second choice where she was accepted back in January. She formally committed this evening and now says that if the school she thought was her number one calls she’d really have to think about it. She’s very excited and happy and just going with the idea that things work out the way they are meant to be. I’m relieved that she’s made her decision and the deposit is paid. ?
Priority waiting list… Sounds too similar. Glad she has this behind her. Best of luck at wherever she has landed.
@IKJ do you mind me asking the school where your daughter was waitlisted?
Wondering if anyone on this list applied or auditioned at University of Cincinnati? If so, can you give thoughts on experience, program, school, etc? Looks like a great program and my ballerina is very interested - just haven’t heard or seen too much about it. TIA
anyone hear anything from dancewave this past weekend yet?
or anyone receive an email to schedule auditions for pace and/or fordham yet?
