<p>Beeje2011, Are the dates you referred to when you auditioned, or when you received your rejections. Sorry you are still waiting - we are too. How did you find out about your Elon rejection? Was it a letter, e-mail?</p>
<p>How did folks hear from Ithaca? When did you audition?</p>
<p>Thanks kksmom5 :)</p>
<p>hgatork, these are the dates i found out. Would you like me to tell you the dates i auditioned?
Also, I got a letter in the mail from Elon.</p>
<p>Beeje2011 - thanks, but no, I just wondered about the dates and what they meant. GOOD LUCK - this is a really tough wait for all of us</p>
<p>Rejection from Marymount Manhattan from BFA Acting, BA Theatre Arts, AND MT Minor. Auditioned 2/5, heard 3/7.</p>
<p>Im so sorry SoSo!! Hang in there!</p>
<p>Thanks Lulu. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, another today, this time from Roosevelt. Six to go, but I think theyâre all more selective than Marymount and Roosevelt, so Iâm just trying to hold out some hope. I have two back-up choices, but the more I think about going to them, the less and less appealing they seem. Maybe a gap year is in order.</p>
<p>Iâm getting ahead of myselfâŠ</p>
<p>BFA or BM Musical Theatre</p>
<p>Rejections:
Otterbein
Point Park
Roosevelt</p>
<p>Acceptance:
Belmont (Nashville TN) </p>
<p>Still have my auditions to Oklahoma City and U of Memphis
and waiting on BoCoâs reply, but it doesnât look promising.</p>
<p>So far: Elon, B-W, UMich, UArts, PPU, CCM and I have many many more, but I canât imagine my luck will get much better as far as MT goes. I would love to get into at least one more school for at least acting so I can make a choice.</p>
<p>^Iâm feeling the same way. Weâre all just gonna have to hang in there. Things will work out and there will be a place for us where we will be happy. The wait is just going to be the hardest part!</p>
<p>I got my Point Park rejection today. I had a great audition experience there, so this one kind of stung a bit more than the others. Just goes to show that you shouldnât read into anything! Oh well. Onwards and upwards! Best of luck to all. :)</p>
<p>My D so far has been rejected from Penn St. and Ithaca. Still have 7 more but it is hard to stay optimistic. Hopefully everyone has a good back up plan. Hang in there!</p>
<p>Hang in there everyone! Please remember that in this process you canât assume that because you were rejected from school A you will also be rejected from schools X, Y and Z. It doesnât work that way! My Dâs journey last year proved that.</p>
<p>Iâm sending cyber hugs to all of you and keeping my fingers crossed that good news comes your way.</p>
<p>^^^^^Definitely! We know someone who was accepted into one of the âeliteâ programs several years ago but was turned down by all of her other schools, some far less prestigious, except for one âback-upâ non-audition program. She ended up at the non-audition because of finances and, last I heard was very happy there. There is often no real rhyme or reason to this whole audition thing!</p>
<p>AEFITZMT- I was just looking at a video of Ragtime at Belmont and it was super - check out Daddyâs Eyes.</p>
<p>AefitzMT,
When did you audition for Roosevelt?</p>
<p>Keep hope!! Youâll get in where youâre meant to go!! Youâre close to the finish line now!! :)</p>
<p>Rejection from Roosevelt today. Dated March 4th. :(</p>
<p>So sorry MTMAJOROFLOVE :)</p>
<p>Hang in there! So trite, but: âEverything will turn out the way itâs supposed to.â</p>
<p>I Told You
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 Â 1919)</p>
<p>I told you the winter would go, love,
I told you the winter would go,
That heâd flee in shame when the south wind came,
And you smiled when I told you so.
You said the blustering fellow
Would never yield to a breeze,
That his cold, icy breath had frozen to death
The flowers, the birds, and trees.</p>
<p>And I told you the snow would melt, love,
In the passionate glance oâ the sun;
And the leaves oâ the trees, and the flowers and bees,
Would come back again, one by one.
That the great, gray clouds would vanish,
And the sky turn tender and blue;
And the sweet birds would sing, and talk of the spring
And, love, it has all come true.</p>
<p>I told you that sorrow would fade, love,
And you would forget half your pain;
That the sweet bird of song would waken ere long,
And sing in your bosom again;
That hope would creep out of the shadows,
And back to its nest in your heart,
And gladness would come, and find its old home,
And that sorrow at length would depart.</p>
<p>I told you that grief seldom killed, love,
Though the heart might seem dead for awhile.
But the world is so bright, and full of warm light
That 'twould waken at length, in its smile.
Ah, love! was I not a true prophet?
Thereâs a sweet happy smile on your face;
Your sadness has flown - the snow-drift is gone,
And the buttercups bloom in its place.</p>
