<p>So I know its getting to the time when people start deciding what school to go to, so I thought it would be cool if we made a thread of where people were going. Just put the college name then your user name :) I will start!</p>
<p>The Hartt School - Marisarose</p>
<p>MarisaRose</p>
<p>There are two stickies at the top of the page: one for login name and one by college name…</p>
<p>^ I thought that too, but those say accepted- not decisions. There is a final decisions thread on the MT board.</p>
<p>Final decision for supportive’s D~ Northern Illinois University~ BFA Acting</p>
<p>I don’t want to make it harder on anyone, but last year we did posts by individuals that listed schools applied to, the results, the decision, and why. It has been a very helpful thread to upcoming kids in the past. If you don’t feel like it, of course you can just say where you are going.</p>
<p>Applied to: FSU (but not for theatre), Rutgers (BFA MG), Penn State (MT), Northern Illinois (BFA Acting)
Accepted to: all schools
Rejected from: Mason Gross but got into BA Acting
Waitlisted at: Penn State MT
Final Decision: Northern Illinois (BFA Acting)</p>
<p>I know- my daughter only applied to 4 schools! However, she knew what she wanted. Since she goes to a performing arts school (since 6th grade), she did NOT want a conservatory or a small school. She wanted a mid to large school that offered a lot of programs besides the arts. She wanted to go up north and see snow for the first time. She wanted a football team and college life and a chance to take classes outside of her major and she wanted to be around kids who had other interests besides theatre. She doesn’t even want to live in an arts dorm. NIU has a great theatre program and in the junior year, they spend a semester in Moscow. It’s a hidden gem and the people we have met could not be more nice and welcoming!</p>

<p>I see the difference.</p>
<p>I always love to browse these threads!
Congrats and good luck to all!</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Is there an official decisions thread for the theater majors? There is one for musical theater. It’s great to be able to follow each journey towards the conclusion (or beginning, really.) I also think it’s helpful for next year’s high school senior class to be able to follow. </p>
<p>Is this the thread, or is there another, and would it be possible for the moderator to make the decisions thread temporarily sticky so it’s easier to find? Thanks.</p>
<p>So Glassharmonica… curious minds want to know… where did she decide?</p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone! If you got into NYU/Tisch, people would be interested in knowing your studio placement.</p>
<p>My D will be attending American University (BA- theater performance) next fall. Sent in the deposit last night.</p>
<p>VERY hard decision, once we got it down to her top two schools. However, she just cannot pass up the amazing opportunities for study abroad, internships, and performance opportunities available in the Washington, D.C. community that American offers their theatre students. Our visit last week with current theatre students and staff finally confirmed American as the best choice for her.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone on this forum who walked with me through this process! You guys are great!</p>
<p>University of the Arts for my son. He was initially disappointed by the slew of rejections (BU, Emerson, Fordham, DePaul, Mason Gross, and - to our considerable surprise - Eugene Lang’s non-audition BA program), and had choice of UArts, Columbia Chicago, and Rutgers School of Arts & Sciences. He immediately decided against CCC; a re-visit and generous Artist Grant from UArts brought the parents around to support his decision wholeheartedly. It looks like a great fit for him.</p>
<p>Applied to: NYU Tisch(Design/Production), BU(Design), Emerson(Design) (BFA), Occidental (BA), Whitman (BA), Santa Clara University (BA)

Final Decision: NYU Tisch!</p>
<p>stagemum, congratulations on your decision!! Philly is a fabulous theatre town. It’s been fun following you and others on your journey!</p>
<p>Applied to: NYU Tisch; Juilliard, Carnegie Mellon; Rutgers Mason Gross; BU; Emerson; University of Pennsylvania, Temple, Bard, Sarah Lawrence, Eugene Lang, Vassar, Barnard, and Fordham Lincoln Center (to both acting and playwriting tracks); Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama</p>
<p>Accepted to: NYU Tisch; Rutgers Mason Gross; University of Pennsylvania; Bard; Sarah Lawrence; Eugene Lang; Temple; Fordham (acting & playwriting)</p>
<p>Rejected from:Carnegie Mellon, Juilliard; BU; Emerson; Vassar; Barnard</p>
<p>Waitlisted at: RWCMD</p>
<p>Final Decision: Fordham Lincoln Center, Acting & Playwriting</p>
<p>Comments: Playwriting and Acting are both very important to my daughter, so the day she received acceptance to both tracks at Fordham was a very happy day. At her Fordham audition, she felt that she connected with the faculty and students. A subsequent day-long class visit confirmed her original impressions. Of all the places she was accepted, Fordham was the school where she felt she would fit in best. We have gotten some flack from well-meaning friends for choosing what they perceived to be a less prestigious program, but I also think that Fordham is terrific.</p>
<p>Process: I think this process is rough on pretty much everyone. My daughter included some extreme-reach schools and was not bothered by those rejections. Only the BU rejection stung because the audition and detailed interview seemed to go so well and she really liked the school. Emerson, Barnard, and Vassar not so much, as she was not really interested in those places and applied mainly in the spirit of casting a wide net. </p>
<p>Reflection: If we had to do it over, I would not have leaned on her to apply to extra LACs. Her admission to Temple, early in the fall, should have been enough of a safety, since it is a good program at a decent price.</p>
