My daughter auditioned in person on campus for Texas State BFA program. Does anyone know how/when they communicate their decision to you? If you are a for sure “no” - do they let you know that early on? Or do they communicate the decision to everyone all at the same time whether you are accepted or not?
I don’t know if I should clarify she is auditioning for acting not MT.
I do not know about Acting, but in MT, they will usually let you know within 2 weeks if it is a “no”. Offers go out in stages in March and a waitlist usually forms in April.
That’s good to know. I was hoping they would let the “no” go out early so that we weren’t holding on to unnecessary hope 
I appreciate your response.
So a couple of years ago we got our “No” around the first week of March, the same day as we got the No for UMtich…, and at that time some people got a notice of “You are in the final pool”…
My D received a priority hold email on 2-20. Have not heard anything else since!
Thank you for the info @DramaRama. I guess it’s never easy to figure out the exact rease of info. Oh the waiting :)>-
@Divamamacita When did y’all audition and how did you receive notification?
Yep. Waiting on next step from priority hold here too… my sense is that pretty soon we will either be released, or notified of being on the official waitlist. And a chance of getting The Call!!
We haven’t gotten a priority hold. I wonder if that means a no for us. When did you audition?
@mandie74 Chicago. Notified by acceptd 2/20. Hang in there… honestly who knows how this all works?
Someone on another post already got a rejection, maybe no news is good news sometimes.
Right. I would assume that waitlist is still probable!
Is there a difference with “you are on hold until the end of the process and a priority hold” are the same thing?
My D was PH until April last year. She did speak with Kaitlyn throughout the process (after the initial offers went out) and knew she was “next”.
@artskids Did your D get in as a PH? Did she email and ask “where am I in the process?” or did TXST keep her updated? I don’t understand a letter You’re a hold until end of process or PH, and if there is a difference.
No - she did not - and she was kept very much in the loop. She spoke with Kaitlyn two or three times in the process.
@artskids Ok thanks. I guess we will sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.
Are these PH email notifications for acting or MT? We auditioned for acting.
@mandie74 d is for MT
You can get added to PH it seems from previous years, so don’t freak out! With schools giving out offers now like UMich, Penn, OU, and etc…students are committing and dropping acceptances and holds! I guess you can say schools are freaking out as much as us.
