<p>:-) Just got my academic acceptance on Monday! It was great to get such good news while recieving 2 rejection letters ( Shenandoah— really wanted to go there—, and Emerson) …definently helped me to keep my chin up… I’m super excited for April 1st! </p>
<p>My mom is actually going to be taking me down to Webster for a visit over my Spring Break… I’m really excited, cause I’ve only been to St. Louis once, and it was for a Marching Band Competition, so I didn’t even get to see or do anything there. Were leaving March 31st, so hopefully I’ll get a letter before I leave—if not, we’ll be keeping in contact with my dad via cell phone … and If I end up getting a rejection after i’ve already left, my mom and I will just have fun and enjoy the city ( but hopefully it’ll be for a nice college visit tehehehe)</p>
<p>Be sure to send an email to <a href=“mailto:campusvisit@webster.edu”>campusvisit@webster.edu</a> to make arrangements for your visit. Tell us what you want to do while you’re here. Options include meeting with theatre faculty, talking to an admissions representative, visiting classes, seeing the dorms, etc. Just let us know.</p>
<p>If you mean an answer regarding acceptance into the program, just keep waiting. It really won’t arrive until April 1st, give or a take a day or two, so you still have at least a week! Our D’s arrived on April 1st (she is in the class of 2012). If you mean a response to your email about visiting, I would follow up with a quick call.</p>
<p>oh no — I haven’t gotten an answer about setting up a visit to the school Thank you though! Yeah, if I don’t get an e-mail back by tomorrow I’ll just ive a call— I just figured they were probably on break or something :-)</p>
<p>Academic acceptances to the university go out first, not to be confused with acceptance to the Conservatory. An academic acceptance doesn’t guarantee acceptance into the Conservatory. Those don’t go out until all the auditions are over. I believe the last audition date was yesterday, so Conservatory acceptances will probably begin going out next week.</p>
<p>Wonderful! Thanks so much Oh gosh, I’m totally pumped for a conservatory program ( I just hope Webster is the one! :-D) ha ha I’m already used to not having free time, so that part won’t be a problem at all.</p>
<p>My son is interested in auditioning for Webster at the NYC unifieds. I’m concerned, however, that the 30 minute time slot in NY can’t compete with a full day of evaluation on campus… esp. for an applicant with strong dance skills. In general, do most accepted students go the on-campus route for auditions?</p>
<p>D auditioned at nyc unifieds and was accepted. That was the audition she got to spend the most time with the evaluators. Very nice interview after song and monologue. They seemed genuinely interested in knowing enough about her to determine fit…beyond the talent aspect.</p>
<p>My D is now a junior at Webster and she auditioned at the NYC unifieds. Like Stagedoor22’s D, she felt she received a lot of time & attention that she didn’t get at other schools at the Unifieds. That said, there was not a dance audition for Webster at the Unifieds, but the auditioner did ask her to demonstrate some dance skills. I think if your son is a dancer, he will be given a chance to show them off to some degree.</p>
<p>I am considering auditioning for Webster and I would like to get some more information about the conservatory. Can you be cut from the program after a certain point? Or do you have to audition each year?</p>
<p>There has been a lot of debate on these boards about how schools handle students who aren’t meeting expectations. I am not qualified to express a view. I will point you to Webster’s handbook from their web page. Someone else might chime in with an opinion. Good luck with your auditions.</p>
<p>Yes, it is possible to be cut from Webster’s program at any time, from Freshman through Senior year. This is one aspect about the school that I don’t like. My daughter is a junior and her class lost more than one student through this cut system her sophomore year. I also know of students who were put on warning or probation as Freshmen and even as Seniors, so the school does expect you to show progress and maintain a high level of professionalism in your class work.
As for auditioning every year, once you are accepted into the program, you will not have to audition again to remain in it. However, you will have to audition every semester after your Freshman year in order to be cast in the shows.</p>
( but hopefully it’ll be for a nice college visit tehehehe)</p>
