The Journey Class of 2020 ... Denials, redirections, etc.

@4Kids4Me Baldwin Wallace said on Sunday that all decision emails will go out on March 10 and official letters will b sent out the following week. Someone did say that they heard 2 girls were already accepted and asked if that was the case and Victoria did say that was true.

Oohh, thank you - that’s good to know. Husband was super impressed with BW.

BW generally accepts a “few” after the fall (Nov) audition - and then the rest in March

SCAD Savanah College Of Art and Design (SE Ga ). Lovely town!

Any CCM news?

@etMT2020 my daughter called this afternoon and they said that the MT faculty was currently in meetings. All decisions would be made today but they SHOULD hear by the end of the week. best wishes

Thank you! @sleepymom

I was accepted by a program today, but they said I had to accept the offer by March 22nd… I won’t be able to visit the school or hear back from everyone before that date. Has anyone else had this problem?

Can I ask how exactly it was worded? Make sure to read the offer very carefully. You should have until May 1st to accept any offer. Sometimes the way in which offers are worded can make you feel pressured, but I do not believe they can make you make a decision before May 1st if you do not want to.

If you are really unsure about whether you have to commit by that date or not, I would call the school to discuss it with them just to be absolutely certain.

@MTMom98 for Penn State you may want to check the portal if you havent already done so. My S saw how many offers had already been extended to boys, so we jumped in portal and saw that he was rejected. Still nothing in mail or email but definitely shows rejection in the portal screen. I hope you have a very different result :slight_smile:

@lisab6114 Sorry to hear about your son’s decision. My son’s portal still shows “when a decision has been made it will be displayed here.”

Does anyone know what time of day the schools normally update their portals with decisions?

Thanks @sleepymom that is super nerve wracking though.

Hoping for the best for you!!

Well, I guess I’ll go ahead and get this out here since I’ve anonymously lurked this thread so hardcore. I am 18, went to Unifieds and some in state on campus auditions.

Applied to: Point Park, TCU, Rider, Oklahoma, University of Alabama, Auburn University, Samford University, Viterbo, Ohio Northern, Rochester College

Prescreen: TCU (passed), Auburn (passed)

Accepted: Ohio Northern (BFA MT), Rochester College (BA MT)

Hold: Rider? (It’s very odd, I’m in the dark currently. Nothing really on the portal and no letter other than “You’re in a pool for consideration” I got it 1-2 weeks ago)

Rejected: Oklahoma, University of Alabama

It’s been tough because Rider was a big one for me, so was Oklahoma. I’m not really sure how to feel, and feeling super nervous about PPU and TCU! Just wanted to contribute! I’m sorry about all rejections. They really do suck, but the waiting is even worse! Best of luck to all. Seriously.

Congrats on your acceptances @ABMT16 ! I hear Ohio northern is a great program. Hope you hear from rider soon!

Thanks @theaterwork ! They offered me some very generous scholarships for merit and talent, as well as some grants! Yay for money you don’t have to pay back, right?! I’m still hopeful for these other programs, but we’ll see.

Thanks for sharing @ABMT16! You are in good company here. So many of us are on pins and needles and it is so very hard to wait. It seems more tolerable knowing there are others out there who are going through the same thing. I’ve heard very good things about Ohio Northern’s program. Congratulations! Best of luck as you continue through this process. :slight_smile:

Best of luck to you @ABMT16 ! My daughter applied to some of the same schools. Was a no for Rider. They offered a different major with great $ but it will be a no sadly. At U of AL, when did you get your no ?

@HappyDancer98 thank you! Appreciate it!

@mtmomofone I literally got the email late on the 28th of Feb.! All decisions were supposed to have been sent by yesterday! If not, definitely call. One weird thing, he kept addressing me as Ms. B_____. I’m quite clearly male, and my first name is not even unisex? Strange.

Thanks! Oh my! That is kind-of crazy! She got an email late last night saying she was wait listed. Sending good vibes your way!
