<p>hahaha I'm just a crazy stalker/obsessee.</p>
<p>I added you on facebook, but you probably had no clue who i was and hit deny.</p>
<p>So, is Ithaca your final decision? Congratulations! It's an amazing school!</p>
<p>(btw, my first name is Bianca)</p>
<p>I auditioned at the NYC unifieds and still have not heard a thing. I am so anxious to hear back from places. it is so annoying that they send out acceptances and rejections at what seems to be random dates and order</p>
<p>Yes, motter3, when my kid auditioned on 1/19 in Herndon, Va., Lee Byron told the gathering that he would make a very few yes and no decisions on each audition day, but that most kids would have to hang tight and wait until late March-early April to hear, because Ithaca typically wants to see <em>all</em> candidates before filling the class. Best of luck!</p>
<p>do you think that now they have seen ALL auditions??
today were the last auditions, right?</p>
<p>My friend got into MT a few weeks ago (around the 15th i guess), and I got my acceptance for Drama last week</p>
<p>Patsygirl: When did you audition?</p>
<p>Saturday March 1 was the very last audition (I was one of the very last auditioners) Lee said he wanted to make all decisions THAT NIGHT because they are leaving for the city today. So... they know. It's now in the hands of admissions to get to us.</p>
<p>So the decisions were made March 1st?
The Admissions said that if my audition were successful, the "audition" item would go to the "what we have received" list on MyIthaca, only then my application would be complete and they would review everything...
that means... in case I didn't go well in my audition I'll know thru myIthaca considering the decisions have already been made =O
is that right? :S</p>
<p>Brrruno- Keep in mind the 1st was just last friday and as much as we would like to believe that they are obbsessing over it as much as we are, I doubt they would have a decision, AND myIthaca updated over the WEEKEND</p>
<p>Brruno, I think that if you keep logging onto myIthaca, your decision should eventually show up. Good luck!</p>
<p>yeah.. ill calm down... obsessed is really the word Liz...
Linda, from the theatre dept told me it usually takes 4 to 5 weeks for a decision...</p>
<p>Brrruno, I hope you are right about the audition being successful, as my son's audition is listed on the received list. When did you talk to admissions? We just assumed that he had auditioned and thus completed everything with the exception of final grades.</p>
<p>That's what I understood when I called in the last week of January. I might have gotten it wrong though... they were so confused with my application material, couldn't find me in their system so I didn't call to ask that but to sort all that out =S</p>
<p>They told me today the video auditions were reviewed today; myIthaca doesn't show mine as recieved. Ill wait until tomorrow then stop expecting anything... there's always next year :'(</p>
<p>If you guys go back through the Ithaca College threads from last year, you will see that many kids (most?) don't hear anything from the program and college until the beginning of April, and sometimes, a week or so beyond that. So hard as it is, try to hang tight! Best of luck, everyone.</p>
<p>I spoke with the Theatre Dept mid February and with Admissions this week. At that time the Theatre dept said it would be reviewing all applicants after the last audition on March 1st. Admissions said that as long as the audition remains on the "what we still need" list, it just means that the Theatre Dept has not made a decision that has been sent over to Admissions. They said that when the audition appears on the "received" list it means Admissions has been informed of some decision (they didn't indicate this meant a yes, no or maybe) and that the fiile was being reviewed by Admissions. </p>
<p>Since rejection letters as well as acceptances come from Admissions, I would think Admissions would receive word on ALL auditions whether favorable or not since they would need to issue the letter. So I wouldn't read anything into Admissions putting it on the received list...one way or the other. It will be interesting to see how long after someone sees that the audition moved to the received list till when they get notified. I hope someone posts that.</p>
<p>NMR - I read those posts and discussions last year. Do you think that hurt Ithaca and resulted in them getting less students accepting? If so, you'd think they would step up their responses this year.</p>
<p>Well, I hope that Ithaca did make some changes because there is NO excuse to send out notifications PAST April 1. It is entirely fair to wait until April 1 as MANY MANY colleges send out admissions decisions on April 1. But since students must weigh their options and send back their intent to colleges by the National Reply Date of May 1, they need at least that month to do any return visits and weigh their decision. By not notifying candidates by April 1, Ithaca cannot expect to be equally considered by students. Ithaca needs to either render an acceptance, denial, or wait list by April 1. A deferral is fair and reasonable PRIOR to April 1 and while they are seeing all remaining auditions. But a decision should be mailed by April 1. Hopefully, this year, this will happen. I have no way of knowing but am just voicing my opinion and sharing what colleges normally do procedurally.</p>
<p>Soozie....Cornell, Dartmouth, University of Chicago - I believe some if not all of these post they do not notify until April 15th. </p>
<p>It does make if very impractical. We have found that campus visits are CRITICAL - my daughter has some campuses that no matter what the program she just wouldn't want to live there for 4 yrs. 2 weeks or less to make flight arrangements, etc in case you have never seen the campus (such as those from unifieds) would be real hectic along with expensive with last minute fares.</p>
<p>MomOfAPrincess, you can say that again! And at the info session we attended for the IC auditions, Lee Byron himself urged kids to visit Ithaca if at all possible before accepting their acceptances. He did say that they have had kids come to the program, sight unseen, and do well there, but he also emphasized that Ithaca is not a big city environment and not for everyone.</p>
<p>MomofAPrincess.....when I read your post that Cornell, Dartmouth, and University of Chicago said that they do not notify until April 15, it did not sound correct to me and so I looked into it. Perhaps you have read that they don't notify until then because perhaps the schools put that date out to allow time for mail to reach people all over the world and to cover themselves as the outside date that someone should have their letters in hand but I KNEW this was not when people TRULY get notified at those schools because almost every school I know, sends decisions by April 1. </p>
<p>So, I looked this up on CC because CC is a wealth of information as we have forums on all those schools and people have posted their admissions decisions as they receive them year after year. </p>
<p>For CORNELL...
CALS, Hotel, and ILR applicants get notified no a rolling basis starting in Feb. and students posted of acceptances to those schools on Feb. 27, March 1 and March 13. Applicants to all other schools at Cornell hear on APRIL 1 and indeed people posted of their decisions on that date in the past. Cornell also holds events for accepted students. Someone posted that these are held on April 10-14 and April 17-21. Therefore, they would have to have their decisions in hand by about April 1 in order to make plans to attend events for accepted students. Most Ivy League schools send decisions in the final days of March or on April 1 (I have a child who applied to four Ivies in the past). </p>
<p>AT UCHICAGO.....last year, numerous students posted their decisions on March 29. Most colleges of this caliber notify students in the final days of March or on April 1. </p>
<p>At DARTMOUTH.... last year, numerous CC members posted their decisions on March 29. Again, this is typical of colleges in this range to send out all decisions close to April 1. </p>
<p>NONE of those schools send out on April 15, even if they say you will hear by then. They maybe gave that date as the "latest" you should have your letter in hand. But in reality, MOST schools, including the three you mentioned, DO notify students by April 1. I hope this is helpful to you.</p>
