@kaf011 - I would always follow instructions, its kind of an important maxim in the college theatre world. If they asked not to be contacted, I would recommend honoring that request.
NYU/Tisch very specifically says not to contact them re: waitlist status or submit any additional info. They provided one standard online form for waitlisted applicants to complete to indicate if they wanted to stay on the waitlist. It had a couple of open ended questions where you could share your interest and any new additions to your honors/activities/resume/etc. That form is all they would accept.
Well, that Tisch form, however, is allowing a waitlisted student to essentially submit what they may have written about in a letter.
Carefully copy and paste the LAST list AND these instructions. Add your name/info (in alphabetical order) under each school where he/she is waitlisted so that is appears in red. Update when (1) Released from WL, (2) Accepted off of WL, or (3) Sent notice that he/she is no longer interested. To color it red, copy the code as it is below, add in your information, then REMOVE THE SPACE IN THE FIRST BRACKET BEFORE THE WORD “COLOR”:

@LBSMOM Congrats to your D!!!
My D got an email today from Quint at UNCSA telling her that they would not be drawing from their waitlist this year. It seems that everyone who got in is planning on attending. He offered her special consideration for next year if she decides to reapply which was very nice! At least she knows if she is not happy at LMU that she has a good chance of transferring there next year.
@marg928 Sorry to hear, but she wouldn’t be able to audition for much down there anyway.
@samigaga I know…only self tapes. Then if she gets a callback she would have to fly to NY or LA which would be a big hassle. I think it’s for the best…and like I said she can always transfer there next year if she decides the BA route wasn’t the best choice.
It’s a no from BW…
Not sure if anyone was on the waitlist for Wagner, but there is definitely movement. My D came off April 19th via a phone call. We were scheduled to visit on April 20th for student experience day - they officially gave her another acceptance letter for the theatre performance track that day. Another girl had come off that day as well - apparently they were the first 2 off - since then a few more kids have come off. We were told they want to yield a class of 33 - with half of that being filled as of the 19th - they felt they had room to start pulling kids of the WL. My D was going either way - but coming off the WL just made it so much sweeter!
@LBSMOM congrats on the waitlist acceptance! What a great story
@MomofMTBoy I am so sorry. I know that was a hard “no” for your son. Hugs
Congrats LBSMOM!!
Visited Syracuse yesterday with my D. Love the campus and got to have lunch with some musical theatre students and then tour the drama dept. It seems like a phenomenal program. They said they track interest and have gone to the wait list the last 2 years. We’ll see after May 1 if there is any movement. Does anyone know if NYU tracks interest and if that matters if you visit a wait list school if we already visited before?
Feeling the pressure with the May 1 deadline we paid the deposit to BoCo yesterday. Two hours later UMIch called!!! Craziest day of our life!
Congratulations @singoutlouise !!! I have a feeling the next 2 weeks may be just as crazy as the last few weeks 
@singoutlouise That’s amazing! Congratulations!
@singoutlouise Thats incredible! Does that mean its U Mich?
Wow @singoutlouise - that is an amazing story! Congrats!!
@singoutlouise Congrats! Talk about a nail biting season!!
