I was wondering if anyone could give me any info on how many people are usually waitlisted for Baldwin Wallace’s Music Theatre program? Thanks!
I know BW does not offer deferrment, just waitlist, but not sure how many they take. Did you audition for early decision, and were you waitlisted?
Yes I auditioned on one of the earlier dates. We’re supposed to find out our results on December 6, but I was just curious on any info related to waitlisting.
Great! Good luck! Keep us posted
Good Luck!
Thanks everyone!
@MadiFiely1 - I don’t know an exact number - but my D’s audition year - she did a November audition and was WListed, and now attends BW. When WL letters are sent - they generally include the prior year’s statistics in terms of # waitlisted, and # enrolled. Those stats apply to the entire conservatory - not just MT - but the info can still be helpful. Best of Luck to you as you wait for your letter!
Oh awesome! Thank you!
Hi, my son is waitlisted and we were told that last year, 61 music students ( so not only MT) were waitlisted, 11 of those were accepted and 5 enrolled.
Yeah I got that information from the email as well. I was just curious if anyone else had some personal experiences in regards to getting waitlisted for the BW program. 
@gogetemson @madifiely1 We have personal experience. My D was waitlisted after her November '13 audition for BW. She received a call in April '14 from Victoria Bussert inviting her to join BWMT18. We heard very little in the interim - so little that my D regarded it as a no - and had been narrowing down her other acceptances and was trying to arrive at a final decision. She sent a thank you note in December to Vicky and Scott after receiving her WL letter and got a note back from Scott - but then we heard nothing at all until April - first she got an email from the Conservatory asking if she had already committed to another program, or if she wished to remain on the waitlist. She had not - so she asked to remain on the waitlist - and a few days later she got the call from Vicky. Because of this board - I know that other WL kids the same week she got the email asking if she wanted to remain on the waitlist got emails releasing them from the WL (e.g. a “no”). I think it’s different year to year - but at least 1 or 2 MT’s come into the class each year from the WL. I hope that this helps!
My advice would be - send a thank you email - and remind them that you are still very interested in their program - then put the WL letter away and focus on all your other schools and auditions.
Fingers Crossed!!
@kategrizz Thank you so much for this info! This really helped me get a better insight on the whole process!
Just received an email today that my DS was waitlisted for MT at BW. He is excited to still be in the running for a spot. Does anyone know how many get accepted off of the waitlist? TIA
@theatremom10. I know at least 1 off the waitlist in my S class. @kategrizz has answered this question a few times. Hopefully she will chime in for you shortly. If you look back to the older BW wailist thread, there is some discussion on numbers listed on letter. BAL
My S is a Junior and in his time, at least 1 or 2 MTs come of the WL each year.
@theatremom10 CONGRATS to your son! If you scroll back to my post #10 in this thread - I tell my D’s story and offer my advice to anyone WL. (Thanks @IfYouOnlyKnew for tagging me!) And, I agree with @artskids - since my D has been there (she is also a Junior) 1-2 come off the WL for MT each year. (So refer back to my advice in post #10!)
Thanks @kategrizz !!! He is still waitlisted…Hoping he comes off soon and it becomes an acceptance
@theatremom10 my S was also waitlisted, back in November. The letter he received told him that last year 60 people were WLed and of those 60, 11 were offered a spot later and 5 accepted. Hope that helps. BW is his #1 choice and he is really hoping to come off the list! Good luck to everyone! Such a nerve wracking process.
Keep in mind also that 60 count for the waitlist is the entire conservatory. So that’s instrumental, vocal etc as well as MT.
Congratulations @cwp1013!!! Yes my son received the same letter and it is for the entire music conservatory. We can hope and pray together that we hear something soon.
