This is a great thread for those of us with kids auditioning for the 2018 fall class!
Parents of current students at U of Minn/Guthrie, is callback weekend the 1st weekend of March? Does anyone know of a kid admitted who did the callback via video? My S has a lead role in a play opening the 2nd weekend of march. He can’t leave town. And Minn/Guthrie is high on his list. Thanks.
Two years ago callbacks were last weekend of feb.
@artskids D #1 got accepted and did a video callback (if i am remembering correctly). Not where she is attending but she was admitted.
^^^correct @bfahopeful. She was admitted from a video audition. She is not attending; she is attending SUNY Purchase.
@Atreuh It looks like callback weekend is Feb 23-25th 2018. You should be good! Best of luck to your S!

@Atreuh My D is in the freshman company. Callback weekend is usually the first weekend in March beginning on Friday and ending Sunday afternoon, but they may adjust that this year. There was a conflict with another school last year. I believe there is one student in her group that was admitted via video for a similar reason as you describe. Let me know if you have questions about the program. I’m happy to answer as best I can.
@ginaf1102 @bfahopeful and @artskids - thank you! I wish I’d realized how this process completely monopolizes the student’s schedule for senior year, especially Jan-April…presuming (hopefully) there will be school visits before making decisions. Best of luck to all of your kids!
It is crazy. The first time we went through the process, I felt completely out of control and overwhelmed. I had underestimated the amount of time and money the process would cost and the stress the audition season would induce!
Last year Rutgers had callbacks the same weekend so that’s probably why they moved it up this year. There was at least one girl last year who had to squeeze both in.
