he checked the portals and all is there. Still waiting on prescreen pass from Michigan and Indiana. Submitted both on November 25th.
@MTmom19 I just sent Michigan an email. My D was turned down for MT, but the Acting program is still pending according to their portal.
@MTmom19 I like this thread…and it may help others in the future too! Did not apply to Mich or Indiana, but still waiting on Otterbein prescreen. Submitted mid-Nov…
Agreed - this is helpful - tks to @MTMom2019 for starting. Anyone waiting on USC and/or UCLA? A slightly different prescreen process, but still waiting to hear. Anyone else?
OK…here’s the start of the list of schools that results for prescreens are still outstanding for some…
Indiana
Michigan
Otterbein (did notify that responses would be later than originally planned…supposed to be by 12/5)
UCLA
USC
We’re waiting on:
Penn State (submitted 11/15)
Elon (11/15)
Rider (12/1)
thank you I will check again.
We uploaded our Rider prescreen mid-November and heard from them yesterday.
Waiting on Penn State. The website says we’ll hear by 1/7 based on our upload date. When we toured this fall, they said they’ll review those uploaded by 11/30 when the semester is over. Classes ended Friday and they’re in finals, so we’re headed down the homestretch!
@MTmom19 we submitted on 11/26 to both Michigan & Indiana and heard back from Indiana 2 days ago and Michigan yesterday. I do know at Michigan they split their pre screens up amongst all MT staff for review and it is done as staff has time so there will not be a consistency as to when they are processed.
Below are some of the schools folks are still waiting on prescreen results from:
Elon
Indiana
Otterbein
Penn State
Rider
UCLA
USC
Just heard back from both and he was dinged from both! Oh well onward and upward.
@MTmom19 Sorry to hear that, but the right attitude! I am confident ‘the fit’ will come for each of them!
Anyone still waiting on Otterbein? They don’t want you to apply until you pass but the application deadline was December 15th. Assuming that since I haven’t heard it was a no but it was still annoying that they didn’t let us know in time to apply to the school. I sent in my application just in case (only a $30 fee), but feeling annoyed and wondering if anyone else was in the same boat.
@MThopeful99 We too are still waiting on Otterbein, and are assuming their on break now, so not really thinking that we will hear anything before the new year. The last thing we received on 12/6 was the email stating they would be late with letting people know…radio silence since. And yes, the more time goes by, the lesser the optimism. (And we did NOT apply to the school, as they tell you not too.) I know someone on here heard a Yes to their Otterbein prescreen. Has anyone else received a yes or no from Otterbein?
My daughter submitted her Otterbein pre-screen Oct. 27 and received a yes on Nov. 12.
My D submitted Oct 14 and received a yes on Oct 31.
My D submitted on 11/7 and she received a yes on 12/7. And @MThopeful99 - on the Common App it says the deadline is 3/1 for admissions.
We submitted Otterbein around the end of October . Got the email about delay on 12/5 and finally received a no on 12/7
Thank you all for your otterbein updates. Looks like we are in the mid-Nov submission black hole! I believe my S heard that sometime Otterbein ‘ghosts’ on responses…soooo…who knows…never say never, but we will not dwell on it if we don’t hear from them.(even though S is very interested).
Soooo, we just heard back this morning from Otterbein & it was a YES! Hooray!! Hang in there folks…I think those that are still waiting have as much of a chance for a yes. And in looking at the audition spaces available, there def still are some for those that are still waiting to hear.
