MT Notification Dates and Methods Spring 2014

<p>Bumping to get to the list without having to dig through the replies (nothing new here)</p>

<p>Baldwin Wallace – Offers: sent via snail mail by 3/20. Rejections: Same time as wait list and acceptance offers. Financial Aid notifications 2 weeks later.</p>

<p>Ball State University – Offers are extended by March 1st. Waiting list students selected the week following. All students accepted and/or on waiting list will be called directly and receive a snail mail letter. Rejections are sent out on a rolling basis. Scholarships are determined by the middle of March.</p>

<p>Boston Conservatory – Offers: late March to early April. Rejections: ? Financial Aid notification: ?</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon – They call the kids who are accepted in the 3rd week in March. Everyone else finds out via snail mail that they’ve been rejected.</p>

<p>CCM - this year seems to be different than previous. Online status updated first, followed up by snail mail. Accepted students receive an email from Aubrey Berg shortly after online status is updated. (comment) My S’s online status is unchanged, despite having received an acceptance email from Aubrey Berg last week Rejections have been sent a week or 2 after audition. A few offers made this year with the majority still at no decision at this time.</p>

<p>Coastal Carolina – Decisions: Rolling. Some offers/rejections sent after the November on campus auditions; most students deferred. Deferred students and all those who audition in the spring (on campus or Chicago) are notified in Mid-March- approximately 2 weeks after our final on-campus audition. Typically these notifications are sent via email from Department Chair, Ken Martin, but on occasion a phone call is made. You must be accepted into the university before you are offered a spot in the program. Financial aid notification: Performing arts scholarships are sent with the offer. Academic scholarships are separate.</p>

<p>Emerson – Decision: by Apr 1 via application portal at 1pm EST.</p>

<p>Indiana – MId to late March</p>

<p>Ithaca – Rejections: beginning mid Feb. Most offers come later. Acceptances posted on MyIthaca account, starting in late February and continuing in unpredictable pattern through March; rejections seemed to be communicated by USPS and then disabling the student’s MyIthaca account. Like last year, some acceptances are being received within a few weeks after audition, via snail mail. “No decisions until auditions are finished” stated by adjudicator (though as of 2/18 there appear to be a couple of acceptances per The Unifieds)</p>

<p>James Madison University: Acceptance to university on admissions portal; official letter from theater/MT program arrived 1-2 days later; my son also received an e-mail from program director telling him he would be getting an acceptance letter from the theater department. Students admitted to the university EA will hear whether or not they have also been admitted to the program in early March. Students admitted to the university RD will hear whether or not they have also been admitted to the program shortly after they find out they are accepted academically to the university… usually by April 1. All academically admitted students to the university will receive a letter from the program. Some students admitted to the program may also receive an email notification or a phone call. Students who are not admitted academically to the university will not hear from the program whether or not they would have been admitted.</p>

<p>Marymount – snail mail, goes out in waves starting now (mid-Feb)</p>

<p>Montclair – rolling. Decisions about 3 weeks after audition. Apparently Montclair automatically considers MT applicants (some? all?) for their Acting program/major as well, and posts the Acting decision separately on the CheckMyStatus page from the MT decision, then follows up each online status with a snail mail confirmation.</p>

<p>NYU/Tisch – Decisions by Apr 1st after 5pm via email (per website). 2 weeks later for which program.</p>

<p>Otterbein–The arts admissions coordinator calls accepted students directly on their cell phones. Last year it was on March 13th. Official letter including scholarship information came a few days later. Not sure about notification for waitlist–those might get phone calls too?–rejections, I believe, come by mail.</p>

<p>Pace – Academic acceptances: Rolling. MT acceptances: by Mar 30 via phone call but Amy said they hoped for mid-March. MT Rejections: mid-late March via email. Scholarships offered with academic acceptance. Financial aid: ?</p>

<p>Penn State – Decisions: they have a team “decision Sunday” in mid-March the Sunday after the last audition, which this year is Sat, Feb 22. with acceptance notifications going out that week (via ?). Rejections for MT program from Chicago Unifieds have come via online portal + they disable PSU portal log in. Rejections have also come via snail mail dated 4 days after NY Unifieds audition. The decision meeting has been the day after the last on campus audition in years past. Decisions are sent to the Admissions office the Monday after the decision meeting and Admissions sends out snail mail acceptances on Tuesday. The 12 to 14 accepted will usually receive them by the end of that week. Of course, this is not written in stone and I have no inside info - just going by what has happened the last 4 years. This year when my D was filling out her paperwork at the door they also got her to put her number on the sheet with a list of available times to call the number. The director said that would be used for acceptances but that emails could also be used. UPDATE: as of 2/19, myPenn application status portal changed to indicate application is being reviewed and a decision will be coming in the near future (speculations are for late Feb)</p>

<p>Point Park - Academic decisions are rolling. MT decisions 2 or 3 times per year via snail mail. This year it was end of January. Remaining decisions to be sent in two batches: one after their meeting on March 5 and the second after their meeting on March 15. Scholarships are sent with decisions</p>

<p>Rider - Seems to be rolling admissions… Quite a few students accepted/rejected already, to both acting and MT. Notification made via snail mail letter a few weeks after the audition date.</p>

<p>Roosevelt CCPA – Decisions: sent by mid-March via email. (decisions came late March last year)</p>

<p>Shenandoah – One - two weeks after audition</p>

<p>Syracuse – Decisions: begin early March via email</p>

<p>University of Michigan – Acceptances late Feb (according to some old notes from spring 2013 campus visit)</p>

<p>University of the Arts – rolling. Decisions about 3 weeks after audition.</p>

<p>Webster – last week of March for acceptances and rejections</p>

<p>Wright State - Rolling admissions - decisions by snail mail approx 2 weeks after audition</p>

<p>Carefully copy and paste the list AND the instructions. Add your info so that it appears in red. To use red, you would post it like this BUT YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY OF THE SPACES INSIDE THE BRACKETS SO REMOVE THEM:</p>

<p>[ color=red ]Your Info/ School [ /color ] </p>

<p>CCM online status has been changed - Confirming academic acceptance.</p>

<p>What does that mean though for MT? No change here…</p>

<p>If anyone applied to Wagner, FYI, they call.</p>

<p>For those of you who’s Ithaca account was disabled - Does it come up an “error” message or just doesnt take your information? I know the site was down this am for two hours, but when it was up and running, D typed her stuff in and nothing happened, but there was no message at all, it just goes back to sign in (in other words, it does not say we dont recognize this password or account blah blah blah) is this the doomsday message?</p>

<p>that happened to me also but then i put info in again and account opened. So try it again…I think it was related to the maintenance.</p>

<p>@dreamatinydream, dreamgirl is right. That’s related to maintenance. The doomsday message comes after signing in. There is a gray box that says your account in currently unavailable and lists the admissions phone numbers to call.</p>

<p>Ok, it’s working again. I honestly can’t stand this! </p>

<p>@dreamatinydream - My D’s account was disabled and she received a snail mail rejection. When I try to log in, I get this message: Your myIthaca account is unavailable at this time. If you have questions, please contact the Office of Admission at 800-429-4274 or 607-274-3124.</p>

<p>Regarding the post for Wagner. My son was accepted into the MT major with a decent scholarship and received his acceptance in a fancy snail mail binder. He was not called by anyone from the department but we did hear of others on CC being called. He attended the final audition in March 2013. </p>

<p>D received word from OCU…B of Arts in Music…no music theater. Heart broken! I think a rejection would be better, then she can move on rather than…“well i can go there and re audition in the spring”…scenario. She’s gotten accepted to 2 very good programs yet we all are lingering on OCU. </p>

<p>Any idea when Rider is going to do their mass updates…?? Thought any day…</p>

<p>Decisions at Rider were made on Tuesday, portals will be updated this week or early next week, letters sent out next week (according to Robin Lewis)…D trying not to obsessively update her MyRider account…must pay attention at school…work…rehearsal…BAL to all waiting!</p>

<p>I hope all of you waiting on Rider get fantastical news!!</p>

<p>Thanks. I knew it was supposed to be any time. D had applied early action and auditioned in Dallas at moonifieds, Received letter saying still in running and decisions would be end of Feb…so knew it was supposed to be soon. Guess we will see and I will obsess over the portal while the daughter is at school, dance etc…</p>

<p>Congrats to tarheelmtmom and frazzled’s daughters! My D is still “under review”…sigh, hurry up and wait!</p>

<p>I saw 2 Baldwin Wallace acceptances post today, is that “normal” for this time of the year?</p>

<p>Last audition was 2 weeks ago so anything possible. I believe they were both from Ohio so maybe out of state ones will come tomorrow. They are all my snail mail.</p>

<p>Yea I know my S was rejected back in December, his friend from VA is waiting I don’t think she expected to hear anything so soon.</p>

<p>When my D was at Baldwin Wallace Jan 18, the person speaking to the parents said that they’d already sent 18 offer letters (they planned to send about 25 total offers, hoping for a class of about 18). They didn’t say if those were all sent at once for ED or if they send them as they decide. But they did say that they’ll be sending out the final offers around March 20th via snail mail. I suppose that could change. </p>
