UMN Guthrie Question

Hi everyone!
Does anyone know how callbacks are being announced this year for Guthrie? I know last year you either got a letter in the room or an email a few weeks after. However, I haven’t heard anything this year about it.
Thanks!

just ask the person chrcking you in at auditions and he/she can explain how it will work this year

They called back about 80 last year. Normally it is around 60. The letter in the room was a new process last year and I wonder if maybe that contributed to the larger callback group. Not sure if they are keeping it or not.
They told us last year not to read into it if you get a letter or not as they may email later.

Last year, my D got an email on February 11 for Guthrie callbacks. We had just returned from Chicago Unifieds.

Has anyone heard back?

The LA Unified Auditions just finished yesterday, so they will start making notifications in the next few days! Fingers crossed! :slight_smile:

Just got my invitation!! I’m so happy! Fingers crossed for everyone else!

Congratulations @Isaroo !

Congrats!

Congrats to you, Isaroo! Wishing you all the best during the callback weekend!!

My daughter also received an email yesterday, but unfortunately, not the good news we were hoping for. Ironically, she also received notice of a nice Academic Scholarship from UMInn in today’s mail.

Same here. Great scholarship and a hard-press on emails urging him to accept, but not for the Guthrie program.

I have to say my D had an amazing time this weekend at the Minn/Guthrie callback weekend. What a nice thing they do! Of course I had to get here there which wasn’t cheap but after that she didn’t have to spend a dime. They fed the kids, housed them, took them to see two shows and did workshops with them all weekend. She made immediate connections with other auditioning students and said she bawled her eyes out on the plane because she didn’t want it to end!

That is awesome @marg928! Sounds like a good fit for her. I think they notify pretty quickly after the callback weekend. Fingers crossed for her!

I was just cleaning out my daughters bag and found an application in the folder from this weekend for a BFA department scholarship. It’s an essay that is due March 31. I have no idea how much money would be involved but I will certainly be making her apply for that!
