<p>Hmmmm…We’ve asked Elizabeth Doyle a few questions and of corse the emails always end with PS. "is it mid march yet’ twice she has mentioned letters. Today my S asked a question about the showcase and she said:</p>

<p>" It is, in fact, almost mid-March! We are mailing decisions next Monday (the 17th)."</p>

<p>So maybe he’s not getting a call LOL</p>

<p>My understanding is that decisions are being made this weekend. Of course, once they have their list, they’ll coordinate talent scholarships for each prospective - they can vary - and it will take some time to resolve all of the packages. Sometimes Acting calls are made at a different time than MT, before MT? Either way, I believe calls will happen early the week of 3/10, before the spring break. I could be wrong, but it appears sensible that next week would mean calls and letters go out a few days later to confirm the offer or mention a waitlist (based on previous years.) I really didn’t want to mention anything until I was fairly certain, and I am. Of course, anything can happen if you let it, and if I’m wrong, you all know where to find me! </p>

<p>This all seems to coincide with what we heard at the March 1st auditions. John Stefano said that they were planning to sit down on Sunday, March 9th and attempt to “put together” the class. He also indicated that the wait lists are small: he’ll take 1-2 extra for each “type”…so in essence you will not be far back in the line. Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Sounds pretty much like how things went last year. The calls went out on Wednesday of that week. And to confirm what secondtimeohio says, Dr. John told this year’s freshmen that in 2013 they only waitlisted one person per “slot” (unlike years past when I think it was 3 or 4). </p>

<p>I feel almost as nervous as I did this time last year…keeping all digits crossed for you guys and your kids! <3</p>

<p>Here’s a link to some other great photos of Earnest. They also show some nice view perspective from the audiience. <a href=“http://www.otterbein360.com/gallery/otterbein-university-department-of-theatre-and-dance-presents-the-importance-of-being-earnest”>http://www.otterbein360.com/gallery/otterbein-university-department-of-theatre-and-dance-presents-the-importance-of-being-earnest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Does anyone have an update how accepted students with be notified…call, email, snail mail?</p>

71

<p>@Inspired59 I believe there are 2 MT Dancers and 2 straight MTs accepted. @MTMajorCook is that right?</p>

72

<p>Inspired59, Dr. John said he would call accepted & wait list. Unsure if the rejections are coming via Acceptd or snail mail. Fingers crossed for everyone~</p>

73

<p>Correct 2 MT/Dancers 2 MTs</p>

74

<p>Total? Or is this the number for boys and same number for girls? So 8…I hope!</p>

75

<p>@MTMajorCook … when were those students notified… I assume that calls are already being made then???</p>

76

<p>Sorry… typically its a total of 8 MT, 4 of which are MT/with concentration in dance split evenly between male and female. Then 8 Actors, split 4 and 4. </p>

77

<p>No calls that I know of we are just speaking in terms of expected acceptances.</p>

78

<p>OH NO! Calls have gone out!?!?!</p>
