<p>This is fun - BOO CCM FOR THE REJECTION I RECEIVED!! </p>
<p>hehehee. </p>
<p>Luckily I am not one who is greatly affected by rejections, but I was so so happy to be an actress at my audition for this school. Their students performed for us and they moved me! So - great experience and BOO FOR NOT TAKING ME!!</p>

<h2>I got in based on my audition at NYU but they were missing part of my supplement and didn't let me know. When I called to check on everything, it turned out that they had lost my entire application. By the time they found it, it was too late to do anything. My auditor told me who to contact to try and push my way back in, but to no avail.</h2>
<p>Things have looked better I must say.</p>
<p>Well thank goodness, like Beeze, rejection doesnt bother me. I was accepted to FSU, UCF, and CCM for BFA musical theater. CCM for god sake!!! El numero uno in the country. And I get turned down at BoCo, CMU, and NYU. Oh well for NYU cause I already had a year of CAP 21 training packed into 7 weeks any way last summer.... so blah to NYU. They pick for grades it seems. (but congrats to my friend who made it.he's super smart with crazy test scores). And oh well to Boston cause I didn't want to go there in the first place. And CMU was one of my top choices, but I've heard some crazy stuff continually from professionals on natonal tours and students of friends and such that its crazy crazy at CMU. like.......(just what ive heard from everyone).... If you dont want to be emotionally scarred... dont go there, cause i heard they beat you to a pulp emotionally and psychologically. Keep in mind this is just here-say. All in all I guess CMU, NYU, and BoCo are gonna be pretty sad when I make it, and I'm not on their alumni. BOO YA!!!! (i really dont care. I loved CCM from the second I saw it. so whoop de doo. Good luck everyone and don't forget, "Everything happens for reason." Peace!</p>
<p>Kids, I understand that you're disappointed and frustrated and need to vent about the schools which did not accept you but it's not helpful to say such negative things when many others on the forum, as well as on this particular thread may indeed be going to attend THOSE particular programs. Venting is good but no need to be nasty about programs which some kids are thrilled about and also those who are still waiting to hear. Just a word of caution. :)</p>
<p>Reminder to those viewing this board, it is a place for posters to vent their frustrations!</p>
<p>bjpjmom, venting frustrations is one thing. Denigrating other programs and posting false information about particular programs is something else entirely. One can commiserate, vent, and rant, without doing that. I'm not suggesting that they shouldn't commiserate, vent, and rant. I know that this thread is for that and I think it's useful and helpful to do so. I tried to be diplomatic in my previous post in saying that. However, I don't think it's necessary to make totally inaccurate comments such as were made about CMU ( I have no particular connection there) .</p>
<p>venting and denigrating are two different things.</p>
<p>Yay AlwaysaMom! Yes, this thread can be about feelings about rejections and vent all you like. But she is right, that is NOT the same as putting down the programs that rejected you and in fact, are ones that other kids on here are quite excited about attending or are considering or might apply to next year. You are not the first kids to post in that manner but I am finally also just going to say something about it because I have posted on CC for 2 1/2 years and I have noticed on other CC forums, AFTER the decisions come out and someone is rejected, SOME kids post things about how much they hate that very same school to which they supposedly wanted to go to enough to put the energy and money into applying. I don't get that, I am sorry. I certainly get feeling disappointed over a rejection. I also get why some prefer one school over another because it fits their criteria better. But I don't get putting down a school you actually applied to in the first place. And even if you hate X college, putting it down on a forum like this where other kids just got into that same college, seems, well, not that tactful. I'd rather hear something like, "I chose to matriculate at Y college because I like A, B, and C about it and I think Z college was all right but for me it was missing A and C and so I think it is not the best choice for me." Venting is not the same as putting something down. Rather it is venting disappointment or frustration, etc. </p>
<p>Thanks. </p>
<p>Susan
(PS...my daughters each got one rejection in their college process and both still like the colleges they were rejected from and would have considered going if admitted, though have NO regrets and are happy just the same)</p>
<p>I would just like to clear the air because people seem to be taking what I'm saying very seriously. I wasn't bashing any program at all. These message boards are to spread news and rumors about things we've heard about these schools. What I said was not fact. I stated that several times in my post. If people are getting upset about what they here about the program they have chosen, then maybe they should reconsider their choice. Different programs benefit different people. I also posted that I wish everyone luck with their choices. CMU is a great program, otherwise I wouldn't have auditioned. Plus these things I posted are AFTER I spent money and time and effort into auditioning.It just makes one wonder.CMU was one of my top choices and still is even though I didn't get in. Being angry about not getting picked into a program is silly. It's not always about your talent. I have heard about or directly about some extremely talented people on this site. Being picked is sometimes about grades, sometimes about diversity, sometimes about style, sometimes resumes, and sometimes I bet........... audition attire. There are too many talented people in the world for those programs to take. Everything I posted was HERE-SAY. I stated that several times. Besides this is the page for venting. If you don't want to here people saying not so nice things theyve heard or just bashing, I would suggest not coming to this page, because I know there are people out there who have waite their whole lives to go to Tisch and didn't get in, and they are morew angry than everyone. Sorry to those I offended but lighten up its just here say not actual truth. Be mad at those who making up the rumors not those who are sharing so as to get more education about these programs. As I posted before, "good luck to everyone" and I hope you are happy with your school choicce, because i know i am.Peace.</p>
<p>I hesitate to do this, but Notarebel keeps hounding me to tell about what I was going through during the audition process. As some of you know, Ive mostly posted on the Theatre/Drama thread over the past eleven months and have generally kept my comments on MT to a minimum except when doing links from one thread to another in the old format. Theatre/Drama is a single thread with just a few posters, so I didnt say much about what was going on in my personal life because I wanted to let it stay semi on-topic and not turn it into a pity party for me. It should provide a good list of straight acting programs and some good advice for those yet to come. Besides, I had an amazing outpouring of love from a wonderful in-person support group in my hometown - many of whom I hadnt previously known. I guess I did leave some people hanging when I asked about the possibility of deferring at BFA programs. Anyway </p>
<p>Last December my mother was in a terrible traffic accident. A man ran through a stop sign on a rural highway near our house and mom t-boned him. He was killed instantly. Moms airbag didnt deploy and she suffered a closed head injury, a cracked vertebra, and broke both her arms. She required surgeries including one to relieve the pressure on her brain and it was very touch-and-go for awhile as to whether she was going to be permanently disabled. Fortunately, she is going to be fine though her recovery has been long. She is up-and-around and ornery as ever and should be back at work by June. My school gave me a leave of absence with a self-study contract during the last grading period so I could stay home and help take care of her. My grandmother tried to help out, but she has heart problems and wasnt strong enough to do much though my aunt and some of moms nursing friends were able to stay with her and take care of the 24/7 stuff when I went out of town for auditions. Mom's boyfriend, my grandfather, and my brother did what they could, but they were well men. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>So If anybody has been wondering why the tone of some of my posts changed a bit over the past few months, now you know. Also, imagine coming home from the hospital to shower a couple of days after the accident to a rejection from the college youd dreamed of attending since you were little. I was completely numb at the time, but now Ive recovered and all that Noles gear is gonna make a hella bonfire. I have a new favorite college football team as well anybody who plays them. ;)</p>
<p>thesbo: You're my hero! I have no other words.</p>
<p>Thesbo, I had no idea and my heart goes out to you and your mom. You have been a precious daughter through it all and I know what you did for your mom can never be thanked enough. I know it meant a lot to her and I know you will always be grateful you did it and that she has survived this terrible ordeal. Thank God she is going to be ok. I have no idea how you did it all, with school and auditions to boot. My admiration for you is endless. I am sorry that a rejection was on your plate on top of it all but in the end, your future is bright and there is much light ahead! It all has worked out for you. </p>
<p>It is unbelievable reading your story. As you know, my 16 year old child was in a terrible accident just three weeks ago and she has been through the ringer and we have as her parents. Like your mom, there were moments, but in the end, she has survived and has a complete recovery ahead of her but it does take time and is a long process. I thanked my lucky stars that on top of all this ordeal, that she then did not face a pile of rejections while in the hospital and upon arriving home and thankfully she had enough positive news to give her something to look forward to and the timing will work out. So, I feel for you at the other end of things as the caregiver and the stress on your entire life with all you had to do and getting into college to boot and then enduring a rejection to your favorite school. My admiration goes out to you. I am glad your story has a happy ending and I know ours does too but it will take time. In the greater scheme of things, it is all good. Your life (as well as my daughter's) is forever changed and affected by these experiences, and I think is made better in terms of outlook. </p>
<p>My heart goes out to you and I am so relieved to hear of the happy light at the end of that tunnel.

<p>Here we go again....can the adults take a chill pill please. </p>
<p>We are smart enougth to realize that these are people's opinions about programs and "heresay"....I am sure we have all heard bad things about each and every one of the programs mentioned again and again on this board. It doesn't make it fact and it doesn't sway us one way or another. We can make INFORMED intelligent decisions. Thank you.</p>
