<p>My DS received a letter congratulating him on being accepted into the Fall 2012 class in Theater Design Tech at SUNY New Paltz. There was no mention that this was a one year deferral. Has this happened to anyone else?
He was waitlisted at his first choice Emerson, accepted at Fordham - Lincoln Center and got a talent scholarship at Loyola New Orleans. He is waiting to hear from NYU but that was always a long shot.</p>
<p>Bjs228, I think you should call New Paltz. In all likelihood, your son is accepted for fall 2011.</p>
<p>Unfortunately (based on some experiences others have had with the school) I don’t think it’s that far-fetched to believe they made a mistake.</p>
<p>Some SUNY schools do defer for a year but then ask for the student to reaply sometime in the spring if they’re interested. Without further directions I would definitely call the school and ask.</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice. My DS contacted the theater dept and he was accepted for fall of 2011. The acceptance letter had a typo.</p>
<p>bjs228,
Three of my friends and I all got accepted too and our letters said fall 2012. I guess it was a huge massive error.</p>
<p>Glad it turned out so positive! Oh man, someone should definitely be called on the carpet for not catching that.</p>
<p>My D hasn’t even gotten her letter yet. She auditioned individually on 2/24.</p>
<p>Anyone else still waiting to hear? I’m thinking we’re going to have to e-mail them if we don’t get anything in the next few days.</p>
<p>My friends and I all auditioned on the 5-6 and we all heard back last monday in post.</p>
<p>I did e-mail the theatre dept head whom she auditioned for. He said there was a glitch and would send her acceptance today. Phew!</p>
<p>Boo glitches! Yay for your D!!</p>
<p>Congratulations!! I am a student in the SUNY New Paltz Theatre Department, it’s a great experience with lots of opportunity, especially for the design and tech track… Hope to meet him!</p>
