MT Notification Dates and Methods Spring 2014

<p>Ddbroadway2 lol…no worries…stoning will commence at high noon for your offenses. </p>

<p>^^^ Yes, historically, Penn State has offered admission to a few (1 or 2 each year that I’ve seen on this board) before the auditions are completed. </p>

<p>Reading the kids posts on the FB page and one boy was admitted on the spot to NYU and Point Park…finding this interesting…</p>

<p>What FB page is that, bisouu?</p>

<p>The Unified…</p>

<p>Just heard that two more boys were accepted to Hartt. Must not be on CC.</p>

<p>FYI – My D noticed this morning on myPenn that the application status has changed from “A decision will be posted here when one is made” to “We are in the final stages of review and an admissions decision will be posted here in the coming days.”</p>

<p>@AsstToTheMT - My D’s was changed this am too.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many Ithaca accepts for MT?</p>

<p>Pretty sure they said 14-16</p>

<p>Just confirmed notes - she said 16. She also said no decisions would be made until after all auditions were completed (2/22) - it looks like that isn’t the case from what has been posted on CC.</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. 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: early March via ? . 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 disabling the student’s MyIthaca account. Like last year, some acceptances are being received within a few weeks after audition, via snail mail.</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 with acceptance notifications going out that week (via ?). Rejection for MT program came 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. </p>

<p>Point Park - Academic decisions are rolling. MT decisions twice per year via snail mail. This year it was end of January. Remaining decisions to be sent after final audition, which I believe is in April. Scholarships ae 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>Has anybody heard from Belmont? D had all of her application materials in by mid-Nov and just got her academic acceptance yesterday, which is far longer than their rolling admissions schedule page indicated. She auditioned there in early January but hasn’t heard anything yet.</p>

<p>PSU status did NOT change for my D as stated above. Still says “a decision will be posted here when one is made”</p>

<p>Good to know, @dreamgirl1 - thanks!</p>

<p>Was your audition recent? </p>

<p>D’s PSU status changed to “We are in the final stages of review and an admissions decision will be posted here in the coming days.” She auditioned on Feb. 9th.</p>

<p>My D’s Penn State audition was in Chicago at Unifieds, Feb 5. I wonder if the status change is just for academic purposes and not audition related. Do they send out separate notifications? Anyone know?</p>

<p>Have you received a letter since your audition? I’m wondering if those who auditioned recently will get this status change in lieu of the letter sent to early auditioners. </p>
