Ok, so I need to make a clarification. Someone in the know posted on the MT Parents FB group that CCU has not made any artistic decisions yet. My S was not the only one totally confused by this call in which a current student says, “this is so-and-so calling from the theater department and we’d like to congratulate you on your acceptance.” Apparently this was to congratulate him on his academic acceptance and to answer any questions he might have.
All of the emails and phone calls are getting very confusing! We got an “updated portal” email from Ball State last week with an “admissions decision,” and thought since she had been admitted to the university weeks before, with an academic scholarship offer, that this must be an artistic decision. It wasn’t. It was another letter from the university president congratulating her on her admittance - to the university.
As an aside, still no artistic decision from Oklahoma City University. I think they are slammed with digital submissions. Counselor says they are still going through them and will announce decisions before April 1.
We were told on Ball State’s parent Zoom that artistic acceptances would not be shown on the portal. They will contact students directly from the department.
FYI most Insta pages by an MT department are volunteer jobs assigned to a current MT student in a program. It’s typically not managed by the professors/department. So I wouldn’t stress too much about if your kid is followed or not. It’s only as good as the volunteer managing it that year which it typically a college kid volunteer.
Yes. We never worried about this. During auditions one Director of an MT department had obviously looked at my daughters tutorial IG channel bc it was mentioned in her Wild Card Video and gave her a lot of positive feedback on it. My daughter was tickled she had taken the time to really look at it, but I don’t think she or the school ever followed it or her personal IG. We can make ourselves crazy looking for rhyme or reason-and I’m as guilty as everyone else, lol! Sending peaceful vibes to everyone today as we wait!
