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

Got Miami decision but can’t tell if it is just academic or MT because I can’t open anything in the “communication” area

It’s a pop up issue I think.

ok- opened it on phone it says congrats…blah blah …theater arts. Does anyone know if that is BA or BFA

@sleepymom- If it specifically says “Theatre Arts”- that is a BA. http://www.as.miami.edu/theatrearts/undergrad/

ugh- thank you! @stagedoormama - maybe with the huge merit $ it will be worth it but she really wants bfa and has an acceptance to hartt for that with talent $… hating this process - hate it

I hate it too!! SO MUCH!

Me three:):slight_smile:

Me fourrrrr!

@sleepymom how do you find out what merit scholarships you got from Miami?

@SammieMT - She got an email and there was also a notification in the communication center.

I think it is entirely appropriate to go back and ask for more money from a program. If your D or S has a program he or she likes, I would give it my best shot. @sleepymom

Lol I was supposed to receive Wright State letter a month ago, but they forgot to send it. Glad to finally have gotten it by emailing today!

I totally understand. My daughter has a 4.2, ACT 30. This kid has worked HARD and didnt get accepted to NYU academically as well. It does sting. Try and stay encouraged mom. We have to stay strong for them.

@MommaOfArtist28 - did your D do ED for NYU? They haven’t released yet. Also- since NYU doesn’t separate artistic and academic acceptance- how would you know which part created the no?

Same question as @toowonderful in post #673
How would you know that your D was rejected at NYU academically when NYU only releases admissions results as one entire decision where the academic and artistic are combined and not separate? Curious.

Yeah I’m guessing it was really about the artistic portion; not academic-- those stats should’ve gotten her into NYU I think.

I’m not saying it was the artistic portion, but simply there is no way to know. Plus even on the academic side, stats are only part of the picture.

So any one ever hear of this happening. My D was accepted BFA MT into TCU back in Devember. We were waiting for the FA package and then we get this in an email. "Congratulations! I am delighted to remind you that you have been accepted into the BFA (emphasis: Musical Theatre) degree program in the Department of Theatre at TCU for 2016-17. We are aware that you auditioned for the Musical Theatre emphasis, but we believe that the Acting emphasis is the best fit for you at this time. ". How can they redirect us after offering us a spot in MT way back in December?

Personally, I would call BS on that right away. They may need some “reminding” of what they said in December. Hope you still have the correspondence to help prove what they offered. Best of luck!
