Ottermom!!! I love it! I want to be an Ottermom too!!! 
Dear all,
First of all, please accept my thanks and gratitude for your interest in Otterbein. It has been an exhilarating audition season for me and my colleagues, as we have seen such amazing talent and desire in the students we’ve seen and worked with.
Second, please accept my apologies for having written “no later than March 1” to some of you. That was my rose-colored optimism working. We had hoped to make all the decisions a week ago Sunday but there were simply too many good candidates to review. It took us the remainder of the week. But the decisions have now been made and we’ll be communicating with everyone tonight.
Students who are not being admitted to the program and those whom we want to place on the waiting list will receive emails. They will go out simultaneously. We decided it was simply more humane to do it this way, rather than make everyone wait for the mail. We’ll do it later this evening so that our west coast applicants aren’t reading the email in school.
Students being admitted to the program will receive phone calls today and tonight. Formal letters with offers and awards will go out within two weeks.
I hope this relieves some of the anxiety about the process. You have all my sympathies!
Best wishes,
Dr. John
Thanks, Dr. John! Que sera sera! It’s all good. But boy are my fingers crossed. I’d like to tell everyone to keep thinking of the lyrics to that song…but there is no way they will be out of your mind the rest of the day, or possibly week.
Very happy to know that you’ll all have an answer soon!
I know of a girl who just got in.
Acting major, or MT?
LOL @Times3 you beat me to it…
And I’m about to board a plane after a 10 hour delay and will miss the excitement! Best of luck all!
MT - and have a nice flight @entertainersmom
You too
One boy and one girl from our group have gotten calls this afternoon.
@NAtalntaStudio - Acting or MT?
So thrilled to say my S was accepted acting. He doesn’t even know yet! (He is at rehearsals.) I’m just so happy for him. I guess I may be an Ottermom! Wowohwow.
Congratulations! Both entertainersmom and I have acting-major sons (a freshman and a sophomore respectively) so please get in touch with questions!
thank you so much @Times3! many questions!
My daughter got a call as well this afternoon! So excited!!! Hers is for MT!!
CONGRATS!!! Exciting !!
Thank you @MTMajor, it is very exciting. We heard so many good things about Otterbein, and my daughter had one of her best audition experience with them.
Its a great place to be for those fortunate enough to have the option. CCM was my S’s top choice, he was wait listed which really forced him to sit back and think about it what he wanted. He wouldn’t change a thing today.
I’m glad your son is so happy with his choice! I hope my daughter will end up in her dream school. @MTMajorCook
