Does anyone know when Ball State will start announcing their acceptances? I believe last year it was the last week of Feb
Son received a phone call acceptance tonight for MT.
@Kristiern1 That’s great news! Congratulations!
Just receieved my rejection email for MT but still waiting to hear back from acting! I only last minute decided to be considered for MT at unifieds
I auditioned for MT at Chicago Unifieds and just received a rejection but with the offer for Theatre Studies and to re-audition for BFA MT after a semester. Do they actually let people into their MT from this and does everyone who get rejected receive this offer?
They do take a few who re-audition but not all. My daughter had a redirect at BSU for the BA program. She actually turned down her BFA offers to go to Ball State and do a double major. I think initially she planned to re-audition but was very happy with the training in both majors (Theatre and Telecommunications) that she decided not to re-audition so that she could stick with the double major. She is a sophomore now and loves the program! Her professors have taken a vested interest in her growth in all aspects of theatre and how it complements her TCOM major. Highly recommend BSU.
D didnt get a call or a rejection email, so I guess we are in it for the long haul (more waiting)
@NoMTinMD Same here… more waiting… But the day isn’t over Fingers crossed for good news
@MTmama42 Not sure if any calls went out today. I only saw one post of someone getting a call a few days ago. Maybe the calls wont start till tomorrow or Friday, or maybe that is just more wishful thinking.
They offered it to me too
My friend just got called today about an acting acceptance and MT waitlist
Do you know about how many get into BFA MT from re auditioning in the school each year? Trying to weigh my options here…
@Jingle2001 I know that one of my D friends just got accepted to the BFA from the BA program this week. From my understanding, it is usually only a few kids. I have seen 3 kids one year, two kids another year. It is not a given that kids will be accepted, so I think it is important to like the BA program itself. My D actually redirected herself to BA at one school because it offered her a chance to double major and/or double minor while still getting great training in Acting, voice lessons and dance classes. She was also placed in their Honors program and it made the most sense for her. She wouldn’t do that at every school.
@MTmama42 Well havent seen any calls received on any of the posts but I have heard of a few students accepted, I think early in the week. The no news is good news isnt helping so much for me.
@NoMTinMD Same here
My S and D received calls on 2-25 with acceptances to the BFA MT. Ball State is on spring break next week and the seniors (and many of the faculty) are in NYC for showcase so there may not be much action next week. My older daughter was wait listed before she was accepted as an MTO (Music Theatre Option) and that happened in early April. If you haven’t gotten a no or a redirect, you are still in the mix. Reach out nicely and let them know you are still very interested in the program - couldn’t hurt! Best of luck to all!
My D was called on 2/25 for an acceptance into their MT program.
My daughter is a sophomore MTO and also came off the waitlist in early April her year. Hang in there! @Divamamacita Congrats to your S and D on their acceptances and all the best to your daughter with Showcase! Your daughter has been such a joy and a fantastic mentor to mine. She will be missed as she moves on to her next exciting adventure!
@Onourown Thanks for the kind words. In NYC for showcase today and cabaret tomorrow. So glad your D is enjoying her time at BSU.
@KAT67 Congratulations!!! When/where did your D audition? We having heard anything yet.
