Anyone have any insight on the chances of a girl getting off the UNCSA acting waitlist?
A girl got off the wl last year.
My daughter is wait listed at DePaul theater. She has been accepted at Ithaca acting and Drew theater has given her a full scholarship. But I know her heart is hoping for De Paul acceptance. Any experiences or advice? How difficult is working with the financial aid at that point. Any comments about Ithaca and Drew?
Does anyone know if any of the boys accepted into CMU MT or drama have made a decision to attend other schools? Hoping to free up room for PWL.
Yes there is one boy who declined and it going to TSU instead.
Drama or MT?
MT
D is wait listed at DePaul & Rutgers MG. When does the musical chairs session for those who are waiting begin? After May 1st? How long does it go on, and How many are typically on these list? There’s certainly lots of conflicting info about this process.
In terms of CMU, I believe my daughter said that there are possibly a couple of students who are chosing to go to UNCSA instead of CMU. However, I don’t know for sure if this happened, how many students are doing this, or really any details at all. It is just what she mentioned to me.
My D has given up a slot at CCM, Acting, and hopefully that will make someone very happy off their wait list.
For us last year, wait list movement was right after May 1. (Purchase called, DePaul emailed I think.)
Yardley - do you know if the accepted CMU applicants that are considering UNCSA are male or female, MT or drama?
FLFather, I don’t know anything reliably. I know there were at least two males, and at least one of them was going to UNCSA instead. It might possibly have been 3, and 2 were going to UNCSA. I don’t know if they were MT or drama. Heck, I don’t even know if they changed their minds! Best of luck to your family…
Trying to evaluate likelihood of getting off CMUs PWL. It’s difficult to obtain reliable information and even harder to wait patiently.
FLFather we are in the same boat. We have heard through the grapevine that 1 girl in drama with a CMU offer is going to Juilliard instead. Don’t know if it’s true or whether D is 1st or 2nd on that waitlist. Its an anxious time. If it doesn’t work, she will be deciding between Pace Acting, Royal Welsh and U of Mich. Probably leaning to Welsh (worried about lack of US connections but in love with the training possibilities)
Be careful about international programs as VISA limitations could affect work/stage opportunities
My daughter is wait listed at Rutgers Mason Gross. One of her friends got admitted from the wait list weeks ago… seemed timed with CMU’s acceptances. Blessings upon the head of the kid who called Rutgers immediately after making her decision not to go there!!! At least we know it can happen… though it’s so difficult waiting. I assume most of the waiting list action happens shortly after May 1st but Rutgers said they could notify students up to August 1st.
Does anyone have any information about the Boston Conservatory waitlist? My daughter is on it.
If anyone happens to know anything about the CMU directing waitlist, please let me know! Though I doubt there’s the sort of buzz surrounding it that there is for Acting and MT.
A friend of ours decided not to go to SUNY Purchase for acting today, so that opens up a spot for a boy, for what that’s worth. Going to Pace instead.
@bwaybaby97 for MT or Contemporary Theater? If for Contemporary Theater, I know of one girl who was accepted and is not attending. I know of one boy accepted, but not sure if he is attending or not. He hasn’t said anything on his twitter.
