sorry @VaTheatreMom2020 Such an odd process. Never know what they are looking for exactly. Hopefully people have a bit of a balance with a couple acceptances to counter the rejections. Congrats to those accepted/waitlisted. 
Received an acceptance email from Roosevelt, and judging from twitter they’ve sent them all out today.
To anyone who recieved and admissions confirmation for the BFA at CalArts, was it done through snail mail, email, or does app page just suddenly update? Sitting on pins and needles waiting info.
The people I know admitted to Cal Arts saw it online on the portal. Think there was an email to check it. Application has to be complete to get the decision - you may want to call school if you aren’t sure
On the VIP page it says i have everything “revieved” except it still has “scheduled” by the “audition” tab despite having done my audition way back in Jan. Is that supposed to have changed to a different status?
I don’t know
Emerson decisions are out… D received email directing her to portal.
My D got waitlisted at Pace (notified via regular mail).
I got put on the alternate list for pace, what is the difference between waitlist and alternate list or are they the same?
@skyefaith98 My D’s letter says she’s alternate as well and says she will be “granted a spot in the program should one of our initial offers decline acceptance.” It was my understanding that alternates stood behind certain accepted students and should that accepted student decline, the alternate is offered admission. If the alternate turns down the offer, the school goes to the waitlist. Not sure if that is how Pace is working the lists; we emailed Wayne Petro for clarification (he’s out of town - break perhaps? ).
My D is also an alternate.
According to current students, that is how it works at Pace for alternates.^
My D called Texas State today and spoke with admissions. They told her BFA Acting acceptances/wait lists have not gone out (although I thought I had seen an acceptance somewhere in these threads) and that she is still being considered. Decisions will go out in the next “week or so.”
Anyone know how and when BOCO notifies?
Saw at least one BOCO Contemporary Theatre student was notified (I believe today)- but not sure how.
Boco notifies via email to check the portal for status (will also include any scholarship offer). I know of one parent who posted here about acceptance and I saw my D friend a gal on FB who was accepted. Could be the same person–not sure.
Glad to hear about interest in the Boco CT program. Boston is a great city and it will be fun to see that program grow (there’s only 12 of them now, so they are lonely!).
As my D is finishing out senior year, she had a “parent behaving badly” experience (which she learned about at prom of all times). A parent was having a discussion with another student about callbacks, etc. When the student mentioned my D (among others) had gotten a callback for one of their schools, the parent said she doubted it – said to the student that “we lie about things like that.” What on earth? The student did not know what to say but did tell her parents, and then finally us (although it has been a few months since the incident and they felt uncomfortable even bringing it up but felt we should know). What would possess a parent – who has no student in the process this year and has NO direct knowledge of who did or did not get a callback – to say such a thing to a student? I wonder what can possibly be gained by such irresponsible and inappropriate behavior.
My D, who had an extremely rough road through HS, and who had a wonderful audition season and who could finally claim some positive momentum, was understandably upset. Why would anyone want to sully a “win” for this kid? Ugh. And that callback we “lied about” turned into an offer. A rant moment (sorry) and a reminder to be kind.
@artskids, I feel for you and your daughter. Envy and insecurity are two reasons that come to mind. That doesn’t it make it easier to hear vile comments, of course. Here’s hoping the four tough years in high school will soon be overshadowed by four fulfilling years in college!
@artskids, I’m so sorry about that mean comment. I think one thing frustrating about it as a parent is hearing about it months later and secondhand - if you were there when it happened, you could go give that jerk a piece of your mind! But I believe that karma comes back to bite petty, mean, jealous people eventually!
@artskids, I feel your pain! In HS, my D was repeatedly put down, behind her back, by the assistant drama teacher, of all things. “She’s not as great as she thinks she is” (um, she was winning national awards) and “She will never get cast in the musical” (my D got the lead). This woman had her own life struggles, so I get it, but it was so incredibly inappropriate.
Flash forward to now, my D is in one of the top acting conservatories. The good news is that her college class is very cohesive, with little (to no?) competitive sniping, and my D feels very much at home there. High school brings out its own drama, I think. Your D will probably have a better time in college. And congratulations to her on her acceptances!
