<p>I haven't gotten mine either, but I think the 4 boys thing isn't accurate. My friend who got his letter got in, so there's one more already. Maybe they are taking more this year? But its not looking good for me because I doubt they are going to take more than one person from the same school...</p>
<p>Mail came today, still no letter. Isn't the last day they can mail them April 1?</p>
<p>For anyone who still hasn't received their letter, I called the admissions office and they said that everyone should have their letters by Saturday and that they were still mailing them. Don't all schools have to mail by the 1st, though?</p>
<p>Does anyone know if it's at all likely for a waitlisted person to get accepted for mt?</p>
<p>I STILL haven't heard, and it's the 15th...</p>
<p>Same here, drum87...I thought there was just a mess up with my D's application or something.</p>
<p>Count me in for also not receiving my letter. I called and they were incredibly unhelpful. It is getting ridiculous.</p>
<p>Between this thread and another one, which was about Ithaca....I find it really incredible that these schools did not notify in and around April 1. It is April 16! The National Reply Date is May 1 ! How can any student equally consider an offer from UMiami (or any other school who hasn't yet notified) with their other offers? A student should be deciding around now with all their cards on the table. It is wise to also go back for accepted student events to help make that final decision. If UMiami (or these other schools) want the accepted students to actually enroll, they are not helping their case because they won't be considered equally when by now students have to really consider their options and enroll. Until I read these couple of threads, I was unaware that colleges (unless rolling) hadn't yet sent out decisions. I think students deserve to learn of acceptance, denial or waitlist several weeks before their replies are due at colleges.</p>
<p>Called admissions again, they told me to call if I didn't get my letter by Saturday. They finally asked for my name and then they told me that they hadn't received any of my scores yet. I called my high school and they said it was an error on their part and faxed them over. This could have been resolved a week ago if they just would have ASKED WHO I WAS! On a side note, they did say that they were still sending letters out.</p>
<p>Has anyone received any notification from Univ. of Miami musical theatre department for talent awards? Do they even offer them or just offer the financial aid from regular admissions?</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing...!?</p>
<p>I have. I was accepted to the BA in Music and Theatre in the Frost School Of Music, and got my scholarship by mail.</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS THESPIANDREAMS...
I am so delighted for you.</p>
<p>Did your scholarship come from the Office of Financial Assistance Services or from the Frost School or did you receive 2 separate offers?</p>
<p>Directly from Frost.</p>
<p>However, a friend of mine got 3/4 on Talent for the Theatre BFA a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>My daughter just got her letter yesterday! And it was a wait-list letter. What took so long to tell someone they were on a wait-list?</p>
<p>Anyway, it said nothing about musical theater, which is what she auditioned for. Anyone have a clue what this all means? Can she basically forget about the musical theater part of this application?</p>
<p>thx</p>
<p>homestretch...I don't have your answer, sorry....but agree that this late date is ridiculous to notify students of their admissions outcome with the National Reply Date being May 1. If your D is at all interested in this school still, you may want to call and ask what it means...if it is a waitlist for the university itself or for their MT program. Regardless, your D still needs to move forward with the schools she did get into but if she wishes to pursue the waitlist, she may want to find out directly just what the situation is there. Why don't you call on Monday as it is a very legitimate question.</p>
<p>homestretch - I called yesterday because we never heard anything. They totally screwed up my D's application (since she had applied to the school last year, too). They said they'd try to put it through now and I tried to explain that it was too late, because the MT department already chose their students for next year. I was so mad! Fortunately, my D had already made her choice to go to Boston Conservatory. I'm glad we weren't waiting/counting on Miami (although it was her favorite location). I understand they have a TON of applicants, but they were not even apologetic.</p>
<p>Lynn....that truly SUCKS, I agree! </p>
<p>For this reason, one thing I advise with clients is to check in with schools in the winter to make sure that they have all the documents and that the application is considered complete, etc. One might think it is not necessary but these screw ups are not uncommon. One of my D's schools last year had on her online personal page that no audition appointment was made and in fact, we made it online (the only method that school uses) within minutes on the first day that online appointments could be made and I was holding the printout of the confirmation and charge to my credit card! The department had no record of it. Had I not been vigilant to notice this on their webpage and checked, I'd have rightfully assumed everything was all set...which indeed I had done and even made flight reservations. By that time, the audition appointments were full but they honored my D getting her appointment "back" as long as I could fax them the receipt I had printed from the internet when I had made it. So, given all these strories, I think one has to keep on top of checking in with them. I also agree that they should have been apologetic as it was THEIR mistake and it was a COSTLY mistake. At this point, be happy she is going to BOCO :D. Also, she may have liked being in sunny Miami but as someone who went to college and grad school in Boston, she is going to have a blast there!</p>
<p>For anyone reading...check in and call schools midway through the admissions process (past when you have sent everything) to double check that all is in order. It can never hurt. These stories are upsetting and I hate to see it happen to anyone unfairly.</p>
<p>does anyone know what the music theory exam consists of for the umiami frost school of music bachelor of music in mt audition??</p>
