Anyone else have a dancer auditioning this weekend at Purchase? My daughter auditioned at Dancewave in NYC in October and received a nice email from Purchase inviting her to a callback audition and waiving her application fees. In past years folks have posted saying they were told that the callback meant they wouldn’t be cut after the morning and would definitely perform their solos, but we aren’t sure if that’s the case this year. Good luck to anyone who has a dancer auditioning!
We’ll be there next Friday. Merde to your D!
@Undercovermom1 Thank you! And best of luck to your dancer next week.
@Undercovermom1 We’ll be there next Friday too! Then Mason Gross on Saturday. Good luck!!
@MomL98 we’ll be at Marymount Manhattan on Saturday, lol! Merde!
My daughter auditioned at Purchase on the 16th. There were dancers that were cut who received a call back from Dancewave. I hope your dancer was able to stay. My daughter did her solo and interview but they cut a ton.
@Undercovermom1, @dkmm1973 and @calypte how did the Purchase auditions go? My daughter auditioned last Friday and loved it! She felt the audition classes were great and really liked the faculty. I didn’t hear how long it takes to get the audition results but she thought they said about 3 weeks. Did you hear a similar timeframe?
Yes, 3 weeks. My son really enjoyed the audition, too. Now, we wait.
My daughter really liked the Purchase Audition. We heard 3 weeks as well. As @Undercovermom1 said… Now we wait.
Eeek! I spy a piece of Purchase Admissions mail in today’s informed delivery!
We received a letter in the mail today (daughter auditioned on Feb 16th). She got in. I hope everyone got good news.
DS got in, too. Congratulations @dkmm1973 !
Good news at our house today too from her Purchase audition ! Now she can start the decision making process ?
Congratulations @MomL98
My daughter auditioned this past weekend and really liked it. We are just waiting now…do decisions come in the mail? Thanks!
Yes @birdie13 - dance decisions come in a regularlegal sized envelope.
@Undercovermom1 Sorry, another question about the letter from SUNY…does the front of the letter have anything on it that says, “congrats” or “you’re in”. My daughter will most likely be out of town when it comes in our mail…
@birdie13 no just a business sized letter (not legal sized I used the wrong word) from admissions with one of those cellophane address windows. Looks like it could be just about anything. No fanfare. It could easily get mixed in with other mail!
@Undercovermom1 Thanks so much! Do you know how many incoming freshmen they are looking for to make up their freshmen class?
I think around 40 or 45. I may be getting the exact numbers mixed up after hearing them at different colleges. I do remember they said their current class yield was way bigger than expected - something like 65! They had to add classes to accommodate the larger than expected freshman class.
