I would love to hear from current students or parents of current students in the Drake University MT program. My D has just been offered a place in next year’s program and I’m now on the hunt for more information and experiences with the program. Thank you!
My D is currently a Sophomore BFA MT major at Drake and loves it! There’s approx 20-22 in each class - including a couple Directing and Stage Management. Freshman can audition and do get cast. She’s very happy she choose Drake. Loves her voice teacher and professors.
Congratulations to your D. How did she hear? Email or regular mail? My son is waiting on Drake and it is one of his top choices.
@momsully11 My D got a text on Thursday from the head of the MT dept.
@momsully11 I apologize! I talked to my D again this morning and had her re-read the Drake texts to me and it sounds like the text was just confirming her interest in Drake, not offering a spot. I’m sorry to mislead you!
@Mardeen Thanks for the update. My son got that similar text on Thursday. He is still waiting to hear something so that is why I was curious how your daughter had been notified. Best of luck to both of them!
Anybody hear from Drake yet? My D is anxiously awaiting a decision.
Nothing here.
D received an invitation to join the MT students facebook group. I’m still not counting on it until I see it on a letter, lol.
S received a call today letting him know he was accepted into the BFA MT Program. Hopefully others heard good news today as well.
My D got the call also. So happy to finally get a yes to a MT program. Hoping we all get good news!
My D also got call from Drake yesterday letting her know she has been accepted into the BFA MT program! Very exciting news!
D got a waitlist - very exciting!!
I would appreciate being able to connect with you outside of CC but don’t think I have enough posts to do that. Any other options that you know of? Thanks!
@Naive Who are you trying to connect with?
@Mardeen Actually no longer need to connect!
@naive Did you and your D have a chance to visit Drake yet?
D was just taken off the waitlist at Drake for BFA Acting. Anyone here commit yet? If yes, what went into your decision and did you visit? Thanks!
@admission2017 My D and I had a chance to visit several weeks ago. She was accepted for MT though so her perspective is from that point of view. She wanted the program to have more dance than it does which is why she chose another program. She loved the people and the campus, though. Drake definitely has a great connection w/ their students and alumni, and they work hard to set their students up for future success. We also really liked the city of Des Moines. I would encourage you to visit if you’re interested.
@mardeen thanks so much, a visit is being planned!
