<p>As Times3 would say, hang in there, everyone - it isn’t over until it’s over. I must say I really enjoy the celebratory spirit you all have for each other, no matter what the outcome. And, it appears these decisions were extremely difficult to make - you must all have a wonderfully talented group! Best wishes to you all! </p>
<p>Might help to remember that they have to make 32 phone calls (assuming they’re only waitlisting one kid per “position”)–my son was on the phone with Teri last year for at least 10 minutes, so those calls aren’t gonna happen all at once. </p>
<p>All fingers (and toes, within reason) crossed for you guys. <3</p>
<p>@Times3 Why 32 calls? I thought it was 4 boys/4 girls for MT?</p>
<p>Anyone know if they’ve accepted a blonde mezzo belter yet (for MT, not MT-Dance)?</p>
<p>@DoReMiMom, I think everyone forgets that there are also acting majors? So 8 MTs, 8 acting, and at least one wait-list person per accepted student. </p>
<p>My son, who has only heard info second-hand, says that they might NOT be making all the calls tonight. Take that for what it’s worth, please–he’s not Dr. John’s right-hand man or anything! He has only heard about one admit so far, and that was from another freshman who knows an MT girl who got in. Otherwise he is as clueless as we are. ;)</p>
<p>I know 2 male Mts that were accepted tonight</p>
<p>^^Ditto. Not sure if they’re the same two . . . .</p>
<p>Are you friends with my S? He got the call from Elizabeth MT with Concentration in dance</p>
<p>^Yikes!!
Good luck to all!!!</p>
<p>Times3, you crack me up 
</p>
<p>Hi, all! My name is Tommy and I’m a sophomore MT at Otterbein. Some of you may have met me at the December or February auditions this year. I’ve been on CC a lot because of my mom, but I never bit the bullet and made an account- until now! I know a lot of students from Otterbein don’t have an account so I figured I would create one as a way to answer as many questions as I could for you parents </p>
<p>I don’t have much more information than you folks, but I just wanted to let you know that I know with our class and the class below us, as well as with the incoming class the faculty wanted to bulk up the MT class. Rather than 4 acting boys and girls and 4 mt boys and girls, I think they’re looking for about 10 mt kids and 6 acting kids. Both the current sophomores and freshmen have 13 kids in their class… So even though the faculty has supposedly made 30-odd calls, they will probably still render a class of somewhere around 15, give or take. I also know they’re looking for dancers because the current seniors have 4 dance concentrations and the only two boys with DCs in the department currently. This is all second hand information but I’d like to think it’s fairly reliable!</p>
<p>If you or your students have any questions about Otterbein, feel free to PM me! For those being accepted or wait listed, this is an exciting time! Otterbein is really working on getting its name out there, but I know some of my classmates wish they had known more of what to expect before getting to campus in August. Our spring break is next week, so I’ll have lots of free time on my hands. I’d love to answer any questions about the program Best of luck! </p>
<p>Thanks @tbetz94. Are you saying all 30 calls have gone out?</p>
<p>@MTMajorCook CONGRATULATIONS!!! :)</p>
<p>@DoReMiMom, I was just referring to Times3’s comment. I am completely unsure as to whether all calls have gone out!</p>
<p>So cool!!! Congratulations to all those acceptances </p>
<p>I found out through the MTCA page! Friends with one of the two accepted, but I don’t know the other personally.</p>
<p>Really helpful info, Tommy, thank you!</p>
<p>Have all calls gone out? We have 7 kids that went to call backs and they will all be arriving to classes soon.</p>
<p>Son just called and was accepted for BFA Acting!!</p>
<p>OH my gosh!!! Hurray!!! :D</p>
<p>Yes! Entertainersmom! I had to run and get my hair cut I am sitting under the dryer right now lol</p>
