<p>Congrats, that’s awesome! D is still in school out here in the southwest…I will have to wait patiently like a grown up, I guess. :)</p>
<p>D got an email–it’s a no for UMich. D is taking it like a champ. I must say, I think it’s better to get the no now rather than later. I’m a fan of the pre-screens.</p>
<p>My D also got a yes via email! Excited!!</p>
<p>Congrats to the yes’s I was about to post…I heard at BW today the MI prescreens are being sent…but you guys already know LOL</p>
<p>Congrats to all the yeses! 
We were at Elon all day and heard they started coming in. My D hasn’t gotten a yes or no yet. Hmm…anyone else still waiting?</p>
<p>Congrats to the latest yesses and I’m sorry to hear about the latest no’s. But you’re right, better to get a no at this point rather than later. It’s still okay to be sad about it, though.</p>
<p>As I understand it, if you didn’t submit app and prescreen by 10/15 you won’t hear until 12/23. So if you didn’t hear, it might be because of when you submitted.</p>
<p>Has anyone sent a pre-screen to Otterbein? Has anyone heard?</p>
<p>My D submitted her pre-screen to Otterbein at the end of October, and she heard about 6-7 days after submitting pre-screen that she was invited to audition.</p>
<p>Congrats DoReMiMom! (like your screen name too)</p>
<p>I don’t know if this is too much to ask, if it is I apologize in advance. Could someone tell me which schools require a prescreen? I am helping a young girl who is just beginning this process and her parents are a bit lost on what is needed. I spent the weekend with her helping her choose about 12 schools for MT and now I am afraid that many of them require prescreens that may have already passed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>S submitted to Otterbein in October as well, took a full 2 weeks to hear back.</p>
<p>bisouu, the best thing is to check the 12 schools’ websites to see if they require prescreens. Many schools are doing it now. Off the top of my head: Penn State, Uof Mich, Otterbein, Pace, Ithaca, Shenandoah. I believe that most of the prescreen deadline dates are December/January.</p>
<p>Bisouu - I think there is a thread on it. I remember reading it a few weeks back, search “require prescreens” or just “prescreen”</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>You could list the 12 schools here, we probably know the answer.</p>
<p>D just got a big Texas y’all come on down (that’s a Yes for us northerners) from Texas State today 5 days after submitting her prescreens.
She is very, very excited and I’m thinking there will be some warm(er) weather to break up the snowy auditions in January!</p>
<p>WTG cellomom’s D!! Hootin and hollarin for ya!</p>
<p>Congrats to cellomom’s D! It was 85 degrees here yesterday, 78 degrees right now. Be ready for anything in January!</p>
<p>Son sent in his first pre-screen last night to Otterbein, and received and e-mail today -YES!
True confession time - My son only got on the MT Major path last winter. I have heard he is talented, and thought so too, but I can’t tell you how elated and relieved I felt when I learned he passed a pre-screen! I don’t know anyone else whose child has pursued MT (until I found you all) so I have had my moments wondering if I was helping my child or was I promoting a fantasy? I know the future outcomes are impossible to know, but phew!!</p>
