Hi! My daughter did the first dance audition for U of A dance, does anyone know when phone calls will be made or letters mailed? We didn’t know anyone else at that audition so I thought I’d check here to see if anyone has gotten a call or knew when they may go out.
Thanks ya’ll!
At the panel discussion my understanding was that there would be letters sent out to be received no later than the middle of October so those who wanted could choose to audition again at the October audition.
My daughter also auditioned at the first audition this year. We loved the program and school and climate so much! She is auditioning at several others but this would be a dream for her to be accepted. We also realize that there will be less than 30 girls accepted - probably less than 25 - out of the 400+ that will audition and it is going to be the first audition we hear results from so …
What I have heard is that there are quite a few “possible accepts” that will be sent out because it was the first audition and the scoring they do ranks the auditioners (much like competition scoring) so they do “possible accepts” to those with high scores until they see results from other rounds of auditions. And if you receive a possible accept you can continue to submit video and etc to add to your package.
Can’t wait to hear - let me know when you hear! Where else will your daughter be auditioning this year? My DD will also be doing SHSU, Slippery rock, FSU, OKCU, and Point Park. Still thinking about Austin as well.
With you in the waiting game!
HIIII!!! So happy to found someone else that was there! WE both loved it as well, and it is my DD first choice! We have friends that were accepted the past 2 years that received phone calls 2 to 2.5 weeks after the audition, they didn’t say that in the forum, but they also didn’t at their forum either, so I am thinking they MAY make the accepted calls soon…who knows?! I also heard that they will change the status on the dance app when they send the letters, right now it says under review and then it will change to decision made…ugh, the waiting !!! She is also looking at Loyola Marymount, Pace, Chapman and OKCU. If my DD does not get in, we will go back to re-audition, will yall?
Yes, please let me know when you find out anything and I will do the same. 
We haven’t checked the portal - will definitely start recycling that page - LOL. My DD is doing Point Park, Slippery Rock, Sam Houston State, OKCU, FSU, and AZ. She got in to dance at AMDA already, and auditioned for UCI and UNCSA already.
AZ is definitely one of her top choices but… hoping this first response which we should have before the rest of her auditions doesn’t put a damper on the other auditions!!
Here’s to “Let the waiting games begin!” ?
I did text with another mom who was there whose son will most likely be accepted and they have not heard anything yet as of Wednesday 10/10. She will let me know when they hear as well so we have another source for result timing. ?
Thanks NavigatingMom, that is very helpful! This waiting game is brutal!!!
@NavigatingMom my daughter is a Junior in high school. We are following this forum to get idea of what to expect next year. Your daughter auditioned for UC Irvine already? Do they have early auditions? So far we’ve only seen January and February dates. Good luck to your daughter and all the dancers!
We attended a College Dance Fair in Boca Raton FL (there is also one in NY and LA area as well as the northern Midwest I believe sometimes). This was amazing as so many schools were there and she could get information, talk with either the Dean or an instructor, take classes from the dean or actual instructor, and also this acted as an audition for many schools in attendance. Some just gave scholarships to summer programs, and some talked to specific individuals and gave them a pass for the prescreen, and others it was the audition. Anyway, I highly recommend doing that as they are usually early in the fall and you can get some answers right away and add to their list or rule out from their list right away.
Hope that helps!
@NavigatingMom Sounds great! Thank you for sharing. Do you remember the name of the College Dance Fair? That sounds like something we should check out.
If you search college dance fair you will find the others but the one in Boca Raton is at http://www.collegedancefair.org
@TexasDanceMom We still haven’t heard anything from AZ. Just got a message from my friend and they haven’t heard yet either. Hoping this week we hear!
@NavigatingMom nothing like that college fair (with auditions) here in Los Angeles. Believe me, I’ve looked!
We still haven’t either!! We are going to NYC for the Pace audition this weekend, are yall going? If the answer comes from AZ this week and it’s a no, I’m not going to tell my daughter until after this weekend! ?
We aren’t doing any NY or East Coast schools actually - other than FSU. I know several who are though so best of luck! I’ve heard Pace is amazing. We have friends doing Towson as well. Would love to hear your thoughts on it for sure!
Thank you! I’ll let you know and in the meantime we stillllll wait!!
@TexasDanceMom The first calls went out this evening for acceptances. We did not get one yet but my friens’s son did. She said it was close to 6 East Coast time so she wasn’t sure how many more calls they would make tonight. But at least we know the calls have begun! Merdè this weekend - and here’s to a call from AZ!
@NavigatingMom , bummer, we did not get a call either! Big sad face here! However, she did have a fantastic time at Pace and felt her audition went well, so yay to that!! Thanks for the well wishes and maybe they are not done with calls!! However, we still have January! Fingers crossed our dancers phone rings tonight!
@TexasDanceMom I don’t think they are done with calls only because Jazz at AZ was this past weekend with another round of auditions so they may have been pretty busy with that. We will see though. The application page has not updated past the “under review” so…
Congrats on a great weekend at Pace. Were there lots of auditioners? What are the numbers they take there? More waiting for you I suppose! Good luck!
@NavigatingMom , still no call here! 
The application page still hasn’t changed for us either. There were 50 at the Pace audition, they will take 32 into their program and we will not know until MARCH!!! This was the first audition, I think there are maybe 4 or 5 on tour auditions. Keep me posted on your auditions as well!
I noticed a date change on the application status by the “Completed - Under Review” - anyone’s else see this? @TexasDanceMom
