For those that are anxiously awaiting wait-list movement, it would be great if those who are releasing schools would share. Please share released school and any info regarding type that you feel comfortable sharing.
Hoping to get some clarification. My understanding from the parent sessions was that schools were over-accepting. Meaning that they send acceptance letters (not waitlist) to more kids than the class size they want. This means when a student releases a school it’s not one to one. Hearing about a release here doesn’t mean a spot has automatically opened up on the waitlist for that school.
I think that’s probably true at some schools, not necessarily all. Some that have higher yields or that ended up with bigger than expected classes last year likely slimmed down their acceptances and increased wait list. If you have had a student come off a wait list, that’s helpful info too. I noted on another thread that Molloy has offered at least one off the wait list so far.
Thanks @speezagmom !
@speezagmom @Sitzprobe agreed on both fronts, that said seeing any/ all movement would give some insights or hope…to steal a line from the great shawshank redemption by Red. " hope is a good thing…maybe the best of things"

There is also a post like this on Crucible Cast Party!!
We released Rockford University and plan to release LIU hopefully on Friday pending our FA appeal to UArts.
@NeensMom How long after your D received her acceptance to UArts did you receive the scholarship and/or financial aid information? My D was accepted about 10 days ago, but no word on scholarships yet.
@QballMom CONGRATULATIONS!! Maybe two weeks? You can always email the admissions or financial aid department for more details. They are very responsive!
@NeensMom Thank you! D is very excited. She loved her audition, the students she met during her audition and the urban location is pretty amazing. I hope the finances work out.
@QballMom your daughter auditioned on campus? I’d love to hear more! My D auditioned at Unifieds and is going in sight unseen since we had to cancel next month’s visit. Please shoot me a private message. I’d love to hear about your daughter’s impressions of UArts.
We haven’t done all the communication stuff just yet–will try to do by tomorrow, but we will be releasing some. Still waiting on some info/scholarship stuff for others and waiting on 4 final results too.
Girl, MT
CCPA Roosevelt
Illinois Wesleyan

Liu Post
U of Central OK
Son agreed to release his non audition BA in Theater school last night, and:
Niagara University MT BFA
A fantastic program just too far to visit and less good fit than others. He feels much better for these first steps, and seems to be focusing and discerning.
Hi, my daughter released CCPA Roosevelt BFA MTD today along with LIU Post BFA MT.
So glad to have a final decision. She will be joining my older daughter at the BFA MT at The University of Tampa and also picking up a double major in dance.
Best of luck to those still trying to narrow it down!
@secondtimemt please do give your details in final decision thread. Having been thru this twice I’m sure you can be a wealth of info!! Congrats!!
Released BFA MT at Southeast Missouri, Northern KY, Central Michigan (acting and MT offers), LIU Post, Millikin, Point Park
Today my D released 3 schools: 1) Carnegie Mellon, 2) Michigan, and 3) NYU…now, the schools all that it was weird to hear from her, since she hadn’t been admitted to any of them…but it still felt like the right thing to do
@stanfordAI2019 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
My D released BOCO and Pace MT over the weekend. I hope that is happy news for someone else waiting to join one of those great programs.
Hang in there everyone.
