<p>Hi Alexa- Sorry about the bad news, but I see you have been accepted into 3 other great programs. Congratulations on those!!!</p>
<p>Thank you. 
I still have 7 more to hear from, and most of my tops are still to come, so Iâm hoping for good news soon.</p>
<p>Pace (2/13) letter came today. Oh well. I still have 7 more schools to hear back from, hopefully some good news will come!</p>
<p>And if anyone knows anything about reauditioning for the MT program if you go to Pace anyway, could you PM me? Iâm really confused about that and so far have gotten no answer to my questionâŠ</p>
<p>You guys auditioned for a lot of schools! I only applied to 6. I received my rejection from CCM from my 1/28 audition 3 weeks after on their website. And then by letter 2 weeks ago. Oh well Iâve been accepted to one, am waiting for 3 more, and I still have to audition for 1. Ahhh!</p>
<p>Hi! I recieved 3 rejections so farâŠ</p>
<p>-Point Park-- at my audition on 12/13
-UOklaholma-- At my Chicago Unifieds audition 2/1
-CCMâabout 2 to 3 weeks after my 1/23 audition.</p>
<p>Best wishes⊠I hope youâll all get youâre acceptance letters soon, rejection letters can be really hard⊠especially when it seems like thatâs all youâre getting, but donât give up hop! Youâll end up where youâre meant to be! :-D</p>
<p>Hi Musical Maranda- do you still have schools you are waiting to hear from? You have a good attitude, but I know itâs still hard to get those letters. Iâm crossing my fingers that your next letter is a good one!</p>
<p>Iâve received 5 rejections⊠=/</p>
<ol>
<li>Michigan</li>
<li>Ithaca</li>
<li>UArts</li>
<li>Roosevelt</li>
<li>CCM</li>
</ol>
<p>Oh well.
Still waiting to hear fromâŠ
- CMU
- NYU
- Pace
- BOCO
- U Arizona</p>
<p>Fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Best of luck zoerphl and musical mirandaâŠmy D is still waiting for 6 schoolsâŠbeen rejected by 2 so far. This waiting sucks big time.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard from Syracuse or Emerson yet?</p>
<p>Not yet from EmersonâŠ</p>
<p>Syracuse has not sent out notifications. They notify in mid March and in âwavesââŠnot all on same day. Emerson notifies everyone at one time around April 1.</p>
<p>Thank you. The waiting is tough.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. I am just praying for good news in the next couple days. Pretty much afraid to open the mailboxâŠhaha.</p>
<p>And with syracuse, the âwavesâ can be over the course of 2 weeks. Where you are in the âwavesâ means nothing and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the sequencing; there are acceptances in the 3rd âwaveâ with significant scholarships just like there may be in the first âwaveâ and earlier auditioners can hear in the 3rd âwaveâ just as late auditioners hear in the first.</p>
<p>Rejections: So far my D has been rejected by:
Emerson
UMich
Ithaca</p>
<p>Waiting for 5 others. Really tough to face these rejections with no acceptance in hand. Best of luck to all. I am so thankful my 10 year old D has no desire to go into musical theatre. My husband had an easier time getting into medical school! I keep telling my D not to give up no matter what. She will end up in the place she is meant to be and it will be great. Best of luck to you all.</p>
<p>Mollysmom,</p>
<p>When did your D hear from Emerson? Did she apply and audition EA? </p>
<p>Your D will definitely end up in the place she is meant to be although it doesnât make it any easier now. Good luck on decisions from the other 5 schools and good luck to everyone else, too!</p>
<p>The wait is really tough and stressful. I have confidence, however, in all the kids here if they have a balanced college list that is appropriate for them. If so, it should yield at least one acceptance, even if a BA program. You can only attend one school. Having choices would be GREAT, of course. Getting into a favorite school is ideal or dreamy, but the odds are not as great. Remember, for the BFA programs, the rate of admissions is so low that you have to EXPECT some rejections. Every candidate gets some. And it is not a contest to see how many you get into. </p>
<p>What happens is that it is so stressful when you are in the middle of the auditions and the wait for decisions. I knowâŠbeen there! And it may be hard to realize this NOW, but in a few months, none of this (which schools will I get into) will matter as you will be happily going to college some place on your list (presumably you like every school on your list enough to attend it). But when you are in the middle of it, it is all encompassing. But I can assure you that there is a forest from these trees, and you will reach the other side of it and be happy at a college next year most likely! </p>
<p>Also, it is disconcerting to start with rejections, no doubt about it. My own kid started with a deferral and a rejection and it was all uphill from there and so if she assumed things were not gonna work out based on the first two results, she would have been sorely mistaken. I also work with a bunch of students every year going through this process and have had kids in other years and even this year too, who started out with rejections, several of them, but eventually got into some place and it ALL WORKS OUT!! It is hard to imagine that when you are in the middle of it but it will work out. The agony of the wait and the immersion in this stuff is hard to take but there is light at the end of this tunnel!!</p>
<p>Thank you all for the info. It makes the walk to the mailbox (full of hope and dread at the same time) a bit easier.</p>
<p>if I may add a little bit to this awesome dialougeâŠ</p>
<p>Sometimes as young actors we fantasize so much about the ENORMITY of being accepted into our âdream schoolâ we can often times miss one of the most important life lessons of all- Things CHANGE and even if you dont end up on the road you thought you would be on your destination is still there!</p>
<p>I know I personally started off this audition season without a doubt that Carnegie Mellon was the only school that could ever mean as much as it did to me at that time. Like everybody else, I was watching every youtube video, stalking every alumni, joining every facebook group and spending countless hours praying that I would be good enough. At the end of it all I was blessed with some incredible opportunities/options before I even auditioned for CMU and even though I spent alot of time feeling like a traitor to my âdreamsâ I had to stop and realize that God has a plan for me. That doesnât mean that is gonâ be MY PLAN but there is a plan nonetheless and sometimes you just have to get out of the way and allow God to use you in the way He needs to. I know this for a fact because just as surely as I was obsessing about the INCREDIBLE program at CMU, I was also obsessing over INCREDIBLE ammount of money it cost and how hard it would be to afford it. When I accepted the inevibility of change the favor and blessings just poured in and I am now gearing up for a great year of college with out a worry in sight.</p>
<p>I guess what I am trying to say is rejection is inevitable but when you stay faithful and allow yourself to accept the inevitability of change in direction during this time then you will be able to rest easy knowing that it is all being worked out in your favor. :DDDDDD</p>
<p>My D got a deferral early, got 2 rejections (OU and CCM) but is still in consideration for Otterbein, and ElonâŠshe has a full-tuition scholarship at a local university and has been accepted into Alabamaâs MT program (and qualifies to have out of state tuition waived). Meanwhile, she has one more audition for OCU on March 27âŠthough Alabama is requesting acceptance prior to May 1st (March 23)âŠhow should we deal with that? We asked the local university to push back their date (March 17th) which they were kind enough to do, I guess we should do the same for Alabama? Otherwise, we probably wonât hear from OCU till Mid-AprilâŠthis stuff is tough on the nerves!</p>
