University of Arizona Dance Audition

@NavigatingMom , I too noticed that. My daughter went to a master class this weekend and talked to a couple of girls that either got a call or knew of someone who did… so yeah, we have put the January audition date on our calendar to go back! She also got the invite to audition at Chapman in December, so that made her feel better!

We have another audition scheduled on that Jan date - and it has been quite the puzzle to fit auditions in around testing, competitions, and conventions, Nutcracker, etc… I’m not sure what would happen if we start trying to shift the pieces - LOL. But I do know she truly LOVED the AZ program. So we will wait to see the results - and hope for a possible accept maybe?! And head for the next round of auditions…

Ahhhh, always the dance puzzle, right?! We found out that she has a performance that weekend also, so will see what we can do… looks like letters went out yesterday, the status changed to “decision made”… keep me posted!

Well, my DD’s letter came and did not have any suggestion for another audition or mention of possible accept. It was a generic rejection type and then promo for still attending AZ. She truly loved the program - and received a scholarship for next summer from one of the professors of AZ at a college dance fair she attended but she hasn’t decided she wants to do a second audition. Anyone else get the same or get a possible accept? Any tips or know someone who was rejected them for in after second attempt? She would have to give up a different audition she is doing to do the Jan one at AZ which is why I think she is pretty hesitant. Thoughts?

NavigatingMom, my daughter called and asked if she qualified for another audition, I guess they looked at her scores, I am not sure…She was granted an “in-class” audition that is in February, so we are going to that. She just found out 2 days ago that she got into the dance program at Chapman and she is over the moon happy! We still will not hear from Pace until March, and then she will reaudition for AZ, so decisions will not be made until then, but since Chapman is her number 2 choice she is happy she has that as an option for sure! Have y’all gone to any others?

@TexasDanceMom congrats on the Chapman admit!

@Undercovermom1 , THANK YOU!!!

@Undercovermom1 , my daughter did the in class audition at Arizona last week and felt like she did alright, now we wait again a week or two… and of course still waiting on Pace!!!
:slight_smile:

The waiting is the hardest part @TexasDanceMom

My kiddo has 2 more auditions this weekend and then we wait until end of March for decisions. [-O<

Let us now pray!!! @Undercovermom1

@TexasDanceMom just wondering if your daughter was accepted after the in-class audition? Congrats on Chapman - that’s also a great option!

@NavigatingMom , unfortunately no she did not get in, she was so sad! However she is super pumped for Chapman although we are still waiting on Pace, but its the west coast for this girl! I am just ready for all of this part to be concludeda!

Does anyone know if the UA dance merit scholarships have been awarded yet? We heard they would be awarded between March and April, but I’m just wondering if anyone has received/heard anything about when they will be going out? We’re certainly not expecting to receive anything, we would just like to know if anyone has heard anything. Thank you!

We heard back from them a week and a half ago. They call each person directly so it may just be taking her some time.
