Musical Theater Prescreens - Class of 2022 (process/response)

@artskids via Acceptd (though Acceptd does send an email alerting you to message).

Anyone have any info on Catawba College?

@bisouu - we had a friend whose son went there some years ago and really loved it. Ended up getting an MFA in Commedia in Italy after graduating from Catawba. I don’t know much about it other than it is a small liberal arts school in NC, and this has been awhile ago, so I would find someone with more recent info. But I do know this family was very happy with it for their son. He was an Acting person, not MT.

My dd got it yesterday (Wagner invite). I didn’t realize not everyone gets one (then I poked around here), so that’s good! She just got Montclair’s invite today too. We have officially heard from all schools and have scheduled auditions except one (waiting on academic acceptance).

@DramaQueen219 did Montclair send you an email or snail mail?

E-mail from Montclair. We’ve obviously been shut out of NYC Unifieds, so we’re just gonna wait until late March.

@DramaQueen219 thanks. D has an on audition date coming up (on campus) and I’m waiting to hear her timeslots. BAL!!

So - it turns out D had an item missing from her Elon application and did not realize it. Apparently, they won’t watch prescreens if something is missing. I keep emphasizing “check your portals to confirm”. Ugh.

@artskids So sorry to hear that. We’re still waiting to hear - it’s driving me crazy that some heard yesterday and there’s nothing yet.

Still waiting on pre-screen results from Rider submitted back in November. Was told we would know something two weeks ago. Time to place a phone call or just assume it’s too late at this point to bother? Daughter wants to know what is going on but I’m thinking at this time there are probably no spots left even if she does pass.

@MThopeful2022 BAL to you guys too!

My D hasn’t received any email from Elon yet either. The wait is a killer since this is airfare situation for us. Yesterday, my D received word that she passed Millikin prescreen, and asked her to sign up for an audition, but the only dates open occur in the past!! Lol. 8-| So basically no slots?? D emailed them…waiting for their response. Ugh. That’s another airfare situation for us…

@collegemom2000 I would definitely encourage D to call or email them. @artskids that stinks! Is it something she can submit quickly?

@MThopeful2022 We’re also in an airfare situation. I spent a couple of hours the other day checking flight prices for every drive-able airport near us to every drive-able airport near Elon. I just want closure and to have the logistics finalized at this point! 8-|

bummer @artskids - we haven’t heard yet either. @collegemom2000 I would call the dept. My experience is that they are very helpful. Off to NY tomorrow. At least it won’t be snowing! BAL everyone

Elon said the notification would go out today. I would at least wait until tomorrow to call at the earliest.
Those who have heard may have early alphabetical names, or sent in their prescreens earlier, or requested an earlier audition date. Could be anything.

@DramaMan did you talk to someone or are you going by what their website says on Acceptd? I think their university has had snow days yesterday and today, so not sure if anyone is going in to work and send the notifications today?

@MTplayer Elon sent out a message on January 9 through Get Acceptd that notifications would go out 1/17. The gist of the message was: Please stop contacting us until after that!

@DramaMan… interesting - we didn’t receive the Jan 9 email through Get Acceptd. We will, of course, wait til tomorrow to contact them if we don’t hear something today, but odd that we didn’t get that Jan 9 message.

@owensfolks Yes. It is her artistic statement. She had it done and thought it was submitted. She is calling today to see if she can submit it and get her prescreen reviewed.
