<p>Okay, so I guess I’ll start this. Application completed, recommendation request sent to d’s teacher within a couple of days. Now, we wait. I have a sophomore so I know this is a reach. Updates from anyone??</p>
<p>Exact same position as you! Haven’t heard anything but expect to by Feb 28. </p>
<p>I am so confused. Did the letter of rec have to be in by the priority deadline as well? I have emailed mpulse twice and not received a response. </p>
<p>lauramomatty - They requested a name and e-mail address on the application - we actually couldn’t move forward on the application without filling it in</p>
<p>Lauramomatty, we submitted end of December. Teachers received an email within a day or two. One was quickly and easily submitted. The other teacher was completely unable to submit despite numerous attempts. She thinks it may be due to older technology? She ended up emailing it in. I have heard of at least one other who had trouble submitting their letters through decision desk. So who knows. I would call if I were you. That’s what the app fee is for, admin costs. It is ok to request help and info. I don’t think it is “pushy” provided you are polite and respectful of their time - and I am sure that will be the case given your concern about being pushy. They are going through auditions for incoming Freshman right now, so it could be that questions regarding those 1200 applicants (and 600 or so auditions granted) are answered first. But who knows, maybe completely different departments. But I do believe they also submit via decision desk. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Lauramomatty, I emailed Mpulse and they said that the letter did not have to be submitted by the deadline but you should let your recommender know it’s coming ahead of time so they can send it promptly!</p>
<p>Anmltrnr98 THANK YOU – I just called and was told the same thing. She also said I could submit the letter myself if worse came to worse. Phew!</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many applications they usually receive for the MT workshop??</p>
<p>I don’t know, but hopefully our regulars will know. I have heard it is VERY RARE for a sophmore girl to be admitted, but it has happened. My dd is a sophmore so I am not banking, but hopeful. </p>
<p>Hi there … DD15 is in the process of completing her app - hopefully it will be done tomorrow. Yes, we know it’s late … we’ll just keep our fingers crossed I guess!</p>
<p>I have a question about Decision Desk - will I be able to see if my daughter’s recommendation letter has been received. Right now, there is an option to “re-send” - assuming that means the invitation sent through the system to complete the LOR process. Will that change or disappear once the LOR is received?</p>
<p>Hi! I am a grade eleven student (junior? junior) and I submitted by application on January 6th. I’m super excited and nervous to hear back! I really want to go, it’s my first choice. Does anyone have any previous experiences with the application/workshop they could share?</p>
<p>Hello! I attended MPulse last summer. Once the recommendation is uploaded to decision desk, you should receive a notification or see a check mark. I had problems with the recommendation as well, and one of my teachers ended up submitting his recommendation by email. In regards to sophomores, last year there were three sophomore students, two girls and one boy. </p>
<p>Hi there! Question - while I know it’s very rare, does anyone know if students attend multiple years? If a student gets in as a sophomore, do they tend to go back their junior year? Thanks!</p>
<p>Hi carMT73:</p>
<p>My D who is currently a Junior MT BFA student attended MPULSE after her sophomore year and after junior year. So it is certainly possible! I believe we know one other girl and one other boy who did the same. My D reapplied again the second year, just as she had the first go-round. Both experiences were wonderful and very different from each other. She continues to reap rewards from the relationships and connections she made those summers, years later. I know if she were responding she would say that it was one of the best experiences of her life! </p>
<p>Thanks to all of you!! Because of this thread I went back and checked Decision Desk and realized that one of my D’s recommendations wasn’t in the system. I hit resend and her voice teacher did it today. I am just hoping we’re not too late. Thanks for the head’s up everyone. I will call MPulse on Tuesday and double check on the timing. I hate to see a student penalized if a teacher doesn’t complete a task or there is a computer glitch.</p>
<p>Thank you, mybroadwaybaby! That’s exactly the thing I was wondering - if the benefits are such that a student would want to go more than once! Thank you so much!</p>
<p>One more week!!</p>
<p>Apparently the Michigan Offers are coming out this week too! Can’t believe they conquer the summer program the same week they finish college auditions – wow. </p>
<p>Has anyone heard anything? Any idea what time they will send emails? This is quite a preview for us for 2 years from now! </p>
