Summer Programs - Discussion

<p>Calisamom-- I notice your D? got accepted at Point Park, congratulations…is she going there? Did she get accepted elsewhere? I am thinking you are from California and wondering how you are feeling about your child possibly going to east coast.</p>

<p>CalMTMom - my D is also a rising senior here in SoCal. She is going to UARTS in Philadelphia for the month of July for their MT program. We visitied schools on the east coast last summer after her sophomore year and she really loved UARTS so she decided to do the summer program there to see what she thinks of the faculty and the classes. She is really excited to be spending a month in Philly.</p>

<p>My D is really hoping to get into a school on the east coast next year. It’s hard for me to think of her being so far away, but this is her dream and her life!</p>

<p>Hi CalMTMom, I sent you an email. I’ve found that my server often drops thinks in people’s junk mail, in case you can’t find it!</p>

<p>Got an email that I got rejected for MPulse… oh well. Gotta move on :D</p>

<p>bwayjunkie: I am sorry. You seem to have a very good attitude, though…and that will always serve you well! Did you just receive the email today?</p>

<p>I received the email about 5 hours ago. It said that it was extremely competitive this year and they had to turn away a lot of talented people as they could only accept so many. Also, it said that this does not affect entry into the BFA program whatsoever, and urged to keep up with the training :slight_smile:
(In case anyone was wondering, I auditioned via dvd. It didn’t really show the best of my ability and it was done really rushed. Good luck to everyone else!)</p>

<p>Hope I helped :)</p>

<p>Anyway, I’m going to apply for the BoCo VCI and see what happens cause I definitely want to stay busy this summer. There is still space available in case anyone was wondering.</p>

<p>bwayjunkie - My D is attending the MT summer program at UARTS which runs 4 weeks in July. I don’t know if there are any spaces left, but you might want to check there also.</p>

<p>They notify by email?</p>

<p>bwayjunkie - Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry it wasn’t the news you were hoping for. Hang in there.</p>

<p>My D has gone to Stagedoor Manor several summers, CMU last summer, and my S went to NYU Cap 21 summer (the high school, supervised one). All excellent. NYU used to have NO summer scholarships, then a VERY limited number. Unfortunately, you need a wealthy aunt, or other fairy Godmother to be able to pay for some of these programs! I would not expect Fin Aid for many summer programs. For non ‘advance audition’ training, and a change of scenery, I recommend a new summer camp on the west (best) coast - The Ranch, located in Northern California. I personally know the new owners and can say they are the right combo to provide a fun, safe and rigorous training environment in which to send your child to train for MT. They will mount a full Broadway style production in three weeks in addition to expected MT type classes.

<p>Well I wasn’t expecting an email either LOL… but it was sent via Dody Blackstone from Brent Wagner. It was really nice for a rejection haha</p>

<p>My D just got her acceptance from MPulse! We are soooo excited! Her friend (male) who she met at auditions got his acceptance, too! Good luck to the rest who are waiting!!</p>

Did you get acceptance through the mail or email?</p>

<p>Lesrenne–and if it’s through regular mail, what state are in you? We’re trying to figure out when we could possibly expect a letter to arrive at our house. Congrats to your D and her friend!</p>

<p>Daughter’s going to session 1 of OCU Musical Theatre! Whoo hoo! Happy, happy child. She is also attending week 5 of the Rockette Summer Intensive at Radio City. Anyone have experience/comments about the Rockettes program?</p>

<p>I just got my acceptance for MPulse’s straight acting program! Not MT, but I am extremely excited =)</p>

<p>D got acceptance to M-pulse MT today! Still waiting on Interlochen… If she gets into both, then the big decision … For those who are asking, it came by regular mail (not e-mail) and we are not far from Ann Arbor.</p>

<p>Are all rejections via email? Or do they send some through regular mail. I assume if you haven’t received a rejection it doesn’t mean you were accepted, correct?</p>

<p>She got her acceptance by mail from MPulse. We live in Michigan, as does her friend who heard today also. Good luck to you!!</p>

<p>bwayjunkie- Are you in Michigan? It seems everyone from Michigan is hearing first, so I was wondering if it is the same with the emails.</p>

<p>My daughter’s boyfriend just sent in his DVD to Michigan last week, and heard today he got into MPulse MT. Heard today that my daugher got into OCU for the second session. We live in Michigan. I don’t know if he found out thru email or letter.</p>
