Do the liability forms need to be filled out before a pre-screen answer is given? For some reason I thought those were for camp, not auditions.
@hbdaughter Congrats on CCM!!! Curious, when did you submit your CCM prescreen?
Okay guys, now I’m confused about CCM too… so there is the $30 fee on accepted (paid), the fee on common app (paid), I just checked the portal and saw ANOTHER $60 fee due??? Is the to audition? and does everyone pay that regardless of passing the prescreen before receiving notification? Also, what is up with those waivers? are those due before receiving notice? @hbdaughter ,
@SingerDancerMom Yes, I called and checked. You must pay the $60 for audition, even if the pre-screen is rejected, in order to have materials reviewed and pre-screen decision made. I don’t like it, but that’s the process.
I have no idea what to expect from CCM but I know it’s a long, long shot for me, so I am not overly concerned about it! Does anyone know how long to allow for Otterbeins dance call? It is 8 am in Chicago but I am trying to figure out when I can schedule another audition. The calendar is filling up fast
@GeddyMcNutty I thought the same thing re CCM liabilities forms but filled them out anyway. I just put the date ranges for audition dates. But alas we have not gotten our results yet so no idea, just no more red x marks for missing items.
@DramaLove2020 last year the dance call was at Chicago Ballet at 8am. It took a little under an hour for most of the kids but some were held back for an additional ballet dance callback If your student has a lot of dance or is trying for their MT with dance minor you may not want to schedule anything before 10 or 10:30. ( Chicago Ballet is about 7 blocks from hotel )
@DramaLove2020 as a side note - Otterbein dance call was my son’s favorite of all the auditions. The parents could hear how fun it was from the hallway. And he is a freshman at Otterbein this year and LOVES dancing everyday there!!
@GeddyMcNutty , we got the pass from CCM and still haven’t filled out the waiver forms (glad you all reminded me), so getting the result of the prescreen must not hinge on that.
@DramaLove2020 (or anyone else who may know). What day in Chicago is Otterbein’s Dance Call? My daughter is doing a live pre-screen for them the end of November, so we will not know for a while but I am trying to schedule other Chicago auditions as well, and do not know what date to keep open, should she pass (knock on wood). Thanks!!
@MTSthistime would you mind sharing when you submitted to CCM and when you received the pre-screen pass?
My daughter submitted prescreens on 10/23. She heard from Carnegie Mellon the next day that she passed. Since then she has been rejected from Emerson, Syracuse, Texas State and passed Western Michigan and Point Park.
I’m curious about Pace. It says they’ll give prescreen results in 5 business days and we are still waiting. And we keep getting emails to remember to submit prescreens (but it also says disregard if you’ve already submitted). Her acceptd account for Pace says submitted. I guess we’ll keep waiting but just curious if others are getting responses from Pace?
@StephKK Pace is the only one my son has heard from so far so that’s one I can actually answer!! He received a response 4 days after submitting prescreen
We kept getting those emails from PACE until 2 days before they sent their decision. If she has already submitted the prescreen, paid the fee, uploaded headshot and anything else they wanted then she’s fine. It’s just waiting for the decision after that. Just expect those emails to keep coming into her inbox. Best wishes on The PACE outcome. BAL!
Thanks @anastasiasmom and @theatrekidmom. That is super helpful!
@SingerDancerMom , submitted to CCM first week in October and heard 3 weeks later on 10/25. @StephKK , Pace was 4 days back in early October.
@StephKK last year D called Pace about 2 weeks after submitting and not hearing anything. She received the yes email about an hour later. She thought her prescreen result was overlooked.
Thank you @MTSthistime
New here this is amazing so much great sharing. So far we have 5 passes for auditions coming through. 4 So far…and one that wants to see her even though they didn’t get a prescreen. Honestly freaking out about how this all gets scheduled sanely
Right now we have heard from Marymount, Pace, CMU, CCM So exciting to see everyone getting their responses. No rejections yet but I am sure they are yet to come.
@WDWMom The Otterbein dance call has several options - all at 8 am - I think every day but Thursday.
Has anyone heard or know anything about Viterbo ? I am playing the waiting game with them, Ithaca and CCM… then I am DONE . Booking auditions in Chicago has meant ANOTHER spreadsheet and it’s pretty full!
