<p>Does anyone know if you sent in a pre-screen last week if we will hear before Christmas or will we have to wait until after the new year?</p>
<p>My son submitted his 3 or 4 weeks ago and I think he heard back in about 3 days that he was invited to schedule a live audition. If you don’t hear soon I would call admissions to make sure they got everything they need.</p>
<p>Thanks PelkyAgain-I did notice on the Acceptd website it doesn’t show submitted to a date this week</p>
<p>Got my invite to the live auditions Monday! 
does anyone know how many people they’ll be seeing this year based on other schools that pre-screen?</p>
<p>Does anyone who know if you are expected to have different audition materials for your live audition from your pre-screen materials? (Songs and monologue) I know some schools allow you to do the same materials for both if that is what shows you best. If anyone has any experience with this and with the pace mt audition process in general I would love to talk!</p>
<p>^^ Good question.</p>
<p>My Q is – How long did people have to wait between filing the application thru the Common App site, and hearing back from Pace with the student ID#?</p>
<p>Asking because I need that ID# to submit the prescreen.</p>
<p>SU88BFA- I believe we got the ID# back quickly, I am thinking back a few weeks ago when we submitted the app. It was within a few days we submitted the academic app, the prescreen on acceptd then received the positive (yeah!) reply. I have noticed just reading through other comments that Pace seems to have a very fast turnaround for the responses.</p>
<p>My daughter never got an email with her id#. I happened to super sleuth and found this link. You can get your id# here. It has to then be activated to see what’s been submitted and might be outstanding. Don’t know if it needs to be activated to submit the prescreen.</p>

<p>*ding *ding *ding!!! – That’s a winner! Thank GSOMTmom. (gotta luv this board.) Pace pre-screen just submitted.</p>
<p>Woohoooooo!!!</p>
<p>They have no preference… you can do the same material or something else!</p>
<p>Thanks for the link GSOMTMom, unfortunately my D’s Pace app appears to have been lost somewhere, her name doesn’t come up when I search the site. She has an email from the Common App people saying that her application has been successfully submitted (a week ago) but has not received an email from Pace with her Pace University ID so she can’t submit her prescreen via Accept’d. </p>
<p>Anyone else have a tough time getting a Pace ID from the school or is my D just the lucky one? Called Pace but got transferred 5 times before finally getting the voicemail of the person supposedly in charge of admissions for her part of the alphabet - emailed her and left a message. Hope it works…</p>
<p>My D’s Pace ID# number turned up on the upper right hand corner of an email they sent saying they received her application. We did NOT use the common app.(I am trying to avoid it unless absolutely necessary). That is the id# we used to plug in for her prescreen.
There are “white pages” on the Pace website where you can plug your child’s info and access the app status…I did that earlier this week
[Pace</a> University - White Pages](<a href=“http://whitepages.pace.edu/]Pace”>http://whitepages.pace.edu/)
I plugged in the info and checked to see if they received what they needed-which they had. I am so disappointed in the whole common app process. There are obviously multiple issues with that application.</p>
<p>Yup, it’s the Common App that is the problem. I just got a call back from the Pace admissions counselor and she told me that they hadn’t downloaded the email from the date my D submitted her common app yet so maybe she’ll get her Pace ID next week.</p>
<p>Moral of the story, if the school has its own application in addition to the Common App, that’s the way to go (especially if there is a prescreen involved) or you might be waiting, waiting, waiting…and the carefully crafted audition schedule your kid is counting on might blow up. On the other hand, if we are all having problems with the common app maybe all of the audition slots will not be gone when the schools get around to giving out login id’s/prescreen results…here’s to just hoping!</p>
<p>I meant to say that Pace hadn’t downloaded the applications from the day D submitted her Common App but you all knew what I meant</p>
<p>Absolutely, use the school’s own application of they have one. My daughter did that whenever she could. I will say she did that with Pace and never received a confirmation email. I had to call.</p>
<p>Last year it sounds like just about everyone got through the prescreen, then people traveled long distances only to get cut before getting to audition for the head of the program. Kind of defeats the purpose of a prescreen. Hopefully it will be different this year.</p>
<p>There were definitely 100-200 kids who were not given auditions last year… With the rise of Glee, you’d be surprised at the amount of kids who applied who’d never been in or even seen a show or taken any classes or lessons, but decided to apply because they thought it’d be the “most fun” major.</p>
<p>100 to 200 doesn’t sound like a lot. Didn’t they have over 2000 auditionees? (disclaimer: all schools are beginning to run together to me and that number may have been at a different school. oy vey).</p>
<p>I do agreen prescreening only to cut people when they got there did defeat the purpose, but it was the first year they did the prescreen. I’m sure they’ve learned a lot since.</p>
<p>They got around 1500 prescreens last year and live auditioned 750…that’s half but still a ton of kids traveling to NYC who didn’t really have a chance. Not sure there is going to be a big change this year with the numbers but those numbers don’t seem like a prescreen to eliminate kids who have no shot at the school. Just saying…</p>
<p>On one hand, I’d rather a school take a look at my D’s prescreen and say no for whatever reason they say no (don’t need any more of her “type”, don’t think she’ll fit in their program, etc.), on the other hand, it can be difficult for a school to really get to know a kid from 3 minutes of tape. Many kids come off differently (better?) in person and they may be just what the school is looking for.</p>
<p>As you can see, I’m conflicted on the prescreens (my cheap side says yah, my everyone will love my D if they just get a chance to meet her side says hmmmmm) but they are here to stay and i’m sure many more schools will add them in years to come.</p>
