I am currently applying to summer MT programs and I am wondering if anyone has heard anything if they had been accepted or if anyone has applied?!?
Also does anyone happen to know any acceptance rates fir some programs? I know I am also considering getting a coach if I am not accepted into any programs…
I am applying to:
Interlochen (1 week), Penn State, SMTI, Pace, Broadway Artists Alliance (College weekend workshop), and Florida State (and maybe Baldwin Wallace)
Thanks!!
Hi @marysike 
My D applied to OCU and Penn State and will soon be submitting her application for CCM. I think Penn State said they’d let everyone know the week of February 20, and I think OCU said early February for the first round of applications that are in by tomorrow. I believe CCM is accepting applications through March 4th, so it will be even longer until we know results from that.
I don’t know anything about acceptance rates/percentages for Penn State, but I believe last year they accepted a total of 25 students. I think I remember reading on a thread here on CC that CCM accepts about 30, but my memory could be wrong on that.
Fingers crossed for all who are applying!
Coud not send in Penn State app because I was unaware of the need for teacher recs until the third page of the application. It wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the website… very sad it was one of my favorite programs…oh well
Exactly, @marysike ! I was quite stressed when I discovered this requirement, because there is absolutely no mention of the letter requirement (and they require 2!!!) anywhere on the Penn State website. You don’t find out about it until after you actually go to Acceptd to apply…and then this requirement that’s mentioned nowhere else pops up! Fortunately for my D we got her videos done early (January 15) out of necessity because she had some other commitments that would’ve prevented us doing them later, but then we of course made the same discovery about the letters that you did. My D needed a bunch of letters and forms filled out for something else already this year, so we had to scramble to find 2 different people to do the Penn State ones because we felt we’d already asked too much of her other recommenders. And then of course we were only giving them 3 weeks to get them done ( I think a month’s notice is better)…so we were sweating until her 2nd recommender finally got her letter in on Friday.
I am so sorry that this ended up preventing you from applying. 
I really hope that next year they list the two letters as requirements on the website along with all of the other requirements.
FYI for penn state summer program I thought they accept under 25 but not sure. I know they also waitlist people for it as my D got put on the waitlist. She ended up going somewhere else as tbh I thought a waitlist for a summer program was a bit much lol nonetheless she never got offered a spot anyway as I think they explained it that just because you were on waitlist they still went by voice type , male/female and so forth to replace someone who declined.
@theaterwork very interesting about the waitlist that they went by voice type even! I guess the male/female part isn’t too surprising given how few they take…but wow, thank you for the info…it’s all good to know.
A mom of a girl who went last year told me that there were 13 girls and either 10 or 11 boys, she couldn’t remember…and one no-show. So that would bring the total up to 24/25, including the no-show. Penn State told parents that over 250 applied.
Yes it seemed like a good summer intensive. My daughter didn’t audition there this year anyway so it worked out ok. She felt like the school was too dance intensive and maybe she wasn’t strong enough in dance for them in general.
We actually auditioned for that summer program on campus . It was a good experience nonetheless. It gave my D practice etc. they were very nice .
Does anyone know any information about FSU it seems like last year was the first year of the program…
@marysike
Last year was indeed the first year of the summer intensive at FSU and we had a great time with it. We will accept 30 students to the program and we do plan to have a wait list. We will accept students on a rolling basis until the application deadline. Prospective students apply through GetAcceptd. Please email me with any questions!

Anyone hear about Penn State summer program? I know website says notifications get emailed week of the 20th. Anyone get accepted? Also does anyone know do they email you weather accepted or not??
@127mocha last year when my D auditioned they I believe sent an email regardless of decision as she ended up getting waitlisted for it lol
Thanks theatrework. I guess we will sit tight another day and see lol. Still possible.
@127mocha we are waiting to hear too…will let you know as soon as we hear something.
Does anyone know when TPAP and Artsbridge send out their decisions for summer programs?
TPAP has year was at around end of first week in march or beginning of second week maybe. Was early march though.
My D just got her acceptance email from Penn State summer program this morning! Waiting to hear from Michigan.
Congrats!! Dd rejected from Penn
Congrats to your D @theaterdad108 , and welcome to CC!
@127mocha my D unfortunately got a no from Penn State this morning too. She is bummed but determined to apply again next year…she is only a freshman now so she still has a couple more chances at it.
@muttsandMT just a side note most college programs won’t take you till your a rising junior or senior. My D Was denied at NYU as rising junior but accepted as a rising senior. You might want to try broadway dreams or BAA. I think some of the Midwest schools might accept younger ages but don’t quote me on that.
Hey! If anyone was accepted to MPulse and wants to be added to the facebook page, private message me! I went last year and I’m one of the admins on the page
