Could any tell me approximately how many get wait listed for the MT program at Otterbein?
I think in the past they have only wait listed a couple people for every person they accept, but someone said that this year there seems to be more people on the wait list? Not sure.
My D is on the wait list.We can try to get a tally …
My daughter is also wait listed. We met someone the other day who was accepted.
My D was also wait listed so we’re up to 3 girls!
4 girls…
that makes it 5 girls so its looking like at THE LEAST 2 for every spot ?
My D was accepted into the program - got the call last weekend. I don’t know how many are in the class though and how many are wait-listed. Originally, I thought 8 in the class and another 6-8 waitlisted. Not sure…
No, not necessarily 2 for every spot. Hard to say.
D took herself off the Waitlist. FYI. She hasn’t formally committed to a school but we are getting closer. Good luck to those who are waiting. D was very happy to be wait listed at Otterbein. It’s a solid program.
@happydancer98, Thanks for doing that early–it eases the nerves of a lot of waitlisters. Wish your little dancer was a tall skinny tenor, though! Just kidding–you have some wonderful choices. Good luck and it’s been great knowing you!
My so. Is on the waitlist.
I know one for female that will probably accept her offer.
Does anyone know of any offers declined or movement on the WL?
I know of a boy who recently committed elsewhere. I’m not sure if he has told Otterbein. I assume he has …
Does anyone know if the MT class is full/have all of the students already committed? My daughter is on the waitlist and May 1 is rapidly approaching - need to make a decision to go somewere soon, and she REALLY wants to go to Otterbein!
My daughter is wait listed also. I e-mailed the MT department and they said that they are still waiting on decisions from accepted students. They also .said they would "release " wait listed students as soon as possible as they know how hard it is on our end also. So I guess no news means your daughter is still being considered. Good Luck to you!.
Thanks, @sondheim. Best of luck to your daughter as well! Hope our daughters both are accepted!!
We have heard of 2 girls who have already accepted their spots, so maybe the other 2 won’t? Wish they would release the decisions SOON. She has to commit to go somewhere before May 1! Not sure how it would work to commit to a school then to back out if the waitlist works out?
@4Kids4Me Its not unusual to be called off wait list after May 1. If it happens, and you really want otterbein then you forfeit the deposit you made to other school . I have heard of calls being made into June! Its the domino effect of wait lists and all part of the process. Just depends on what you are willing to do at that point. My d has one last visit to accepted school tomorrow . (Ball state) She was also accepted to U of Arts and Montclair. She is thinking that Ball will be the one But Otterbein is in the back of our minds. also was wait listed to Baldwin Wallace (They just released her) and Wright State. Is your Daughter a MT with dance concentration or strictly MT? Can you share your thoughts on Otterbein and why you like the program? I like to get as much info from prospective students as I can. You never know what you can learn.
@sondheim , I just sent you a pm.
