<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>My S auditioned for BW on the 16th and is freaking out. He won’t let me even touch the mail. He gets it first and then checks and then gives it to me. Is anyone else’s child freaking out?</p>
<p>My S auditioned the 15th. I wouldn’t say mine is freaking but he’s DEFINITELY checking the mail and his email far more often used to. And he’s told me I’m not permitted to open anything, which I can understand but he normally doesn’t care. So he’s anxious for sure. I don’t think we’ll hear for another week or two though. I know in the past decisions were sent in about 2 weeks but they have more applicants this year than previous.</p>
<p>D auditioned on the 16th…She loves this school-the wait is very hard!</p>
<p>Well with this being his top choice, he’s just scattered. He knows that if he doesn’t get in it’s not the end of the world. But he just wants to know more than anything. And it’s kinda hard not to have favorites with schools. Even I find myself in cahoots with a school and have to calm myself.</p>
<p>It is hard, I can’t even imagine how they’ll all feel by the end of February knowing all the decisions will be coming soon. Not sure if this helps, he may already know this, in previous years BW acceptances were sent in large envelopes (like a manila size envelope). As you can see I’m much more anxious than he is…I searched for all this information LOL</p>
<p>NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! DON’T TELL ME ABOUT THE ENVELOPE SIZE!!! If I happen to get the mail, and see an envelope that is small from them, EYE may be crushed!!! Yeah I said “EYE”!!! Not the kid so much, I’m sure! This whole process is so hard on ME!! LOL</p>
<p>Yes! He read all up on it before he even auditioned. We saw carousel and First Takes while we were there and he loved it. One of his good friends goes there and raves about the school. He just told me that after Dec.5th he’s not leaving the house until he finds out! (kidding of course) haha.</p>
<p>Next time I’ll put <em>spoiler alert</em> on there for you GSO lol</p>
<p>One more thing, a read other posts where a small envelope came a few weeks after auditions and it was just an ad or whatever from the school, so DO NOT freak if a small envelope comes soon.</p>
<p>The acceptance from WSU came in a small envelope so not all smalls are bad news LOL</p>
<p>My S just came in from school (I am normally still at work) and IMMEDIATELY said “where is the mail”…soo…definitely on his mind too.</p>
<p>I agree with GSOMTMom-I absolutely do not need one more thing to obsess over.</p>
<p>Put frazzled down for a <em>spoiler alert</em> too! I’m trying so hard to be “college audition obsessed” free but that isn’t working out very well for me! Is it May 1st, yet?!!</p>
<p>You two are no fun anymore LOL I keep saying to myself “after X Y or Z I will relax” and I just move on to the next thing.</p>
<p>Ha!..It is fine- spoil away. I was getting a kick out of the envelope thing because a few days ago I became totally neurotic with the YoungArts award notifications. I was reading through another thread where kids were posting what envelopes the notifications came in. Which, by the way D still has not received so I suppose that means she did not receive a merit or honorable mention (we already new she wasn’t a finalist). I had just stopped stalking that thread when I read this…hence the “OH PLEASE NO!”
I look forward to May 1st as well…sigh</p>
<p>I just watched the STAGES series today (yes, the entire thing). Can I audition please?!!! That will make two of us in college so we should get more financial aid! Just sayin’. LOLOLOLOL</p>
<p>I knew I saw this on the web somewhere:</p>
<p>Decision Letters regarding your status for the College and Conservatory are sent by December 15 or March 20; after you have auditioned and your application with all supporting credentials is complete.</p>
<p>LOL, I was just saying to another MT mom, “Remember last year we kept saying that after ____ happened we could relax?” We thought we could relax after the first full-blown BFA acceptance, then it was after we heard from this school, then that school, then May 1, then, then,… then they go to college and they have auditions there. And it goes on and on. After each milestone there would be a brief breather, but then the next hurdle, the next big disappointment, the next celebration would come along. IT NEVER ENDS for MT parents. Martini, anyone?</p>
<p>You are so right, Calliene!
Make mine a double!!!</p>
<p>Okay, I think I just found new best friends…LOL…and thank you. I literally try to schedule every minute of the day to keep my mind off everything…clearly, NOT working.</p>
<p>I was just wondering what I am going to do when this is all over…now I know LOL</p>
<p>My hope is that while I attempt to be obsession free a year from now, I will NOT know about auditions or casting until it’s over!!! And then I’ll proceed to obsess over how I can make it to the school to see every single performance of the show she’s cast in! UGH! Calliene, make it a triple!!! LOL</p>
<p>OK I give up! I looked through old threads and they mention online status, generating emails etc. I can’t crack this code, looks like I gotta wait on the mail. LOL</p>
