<p>My D auditioned with Webster at Chicago Unifieds. We are new to this audition process, but while I was sitting and waiting for my daughter I was surprised to see the type of treatment that some students received when they inquired about walk-in auditions. I watched 3 different students ask about walk-ins and they were essentially brushed off – being told nothing at all was available. And then less than 5 minutes later, a teacher (who knew the Webster person doing the sign-up) brings in 4 students who ask for walk-in appointments and those students were given the choice of 2 different times to sign-up for walk-ins.<br>
This didn’t leave me with a very good impression of Webster – not very even-handed treatment of students.</p>
<p>I hope you misunderstood what happened. Or maybe this was arranged way in advance. I really hope that was the case.</p>
<p>Some schools have a policy that you can do an walk in only if you previously applied to the school before the deadline.</p>
<p>My D auditioned for Webster at NYC Unifieds but we didn’t see any of that going on. On a side note, has everyone who auditioned for Webster received a personal email thanking them for auditioning? I am assuming this is standard practice. Thanks.</p>
<p>I think the person checking in people for auditions had a hectic job and possibly just didn’t handle the situation well. All of my D’s auditions were arranged ahead of time, but I really admired the students who were trying to arrange walk-ins. The ones I saw were very polite and seemed to have a lot of determination to make the most of their time at walk-ins.</p>
<p>Natalieblueeyes, I totally agree. My D did not walk-ins because the process seemed daunting. We are too organized to be able to handle that. Wish I was more flexible! :)</p>
<p>No email thanking our son…hmmm…haven’t heard anything, either.</p>
<p>I wrote the initial post about Webster and walkin at Unifieds and I wanted to say that my D’s interactions with Webster since Unifieds have been great. I think that first impression was more about the crazy situation than about Webster. (No acceptance news but they have been very helpful).</p>
<p>lulu63, my daughter has received an email, and a friend of hers did as well.</p>
<p>S has not received an e-mail, auditioned at Chicago Unifieds.</p>
<p>Maybe they are just emailing the girls! 
So hard to try and not read in to anything! Can’t wait to hear any news. Unfortunately, Webster does auditions through 3/18 so it will be awhile!</p>
<p>I did not receive an email either…</p>
<p>What do the emails say? And are they all from the NY auditions?</p>
<p>I think they are all diff. My D’s was just thanking her for a solid audition. She aud at NYC unifieds. Not sure about the rest.</p>
<p>Checked application status online and it says “You have been at the APPLAUD stage since 2/11/2011.” Does anyone have the same message or know what that means? Thanks!</p>
<p>I bet that means “Apply/Audition” stage - which means you get to wait like the rest of us:-)</p>
<p>My D has that same type of Appauld message but she has been at Appauld status since October 2010 – that is when she was academically admitted. For her, I think it just relates to her academic admission – nothing about the results of her audition.</p>
<p>same here Natalie… at APPLAUD stage since early December</p>
<p>“APPLAUD” means a student has been academically accepted to the University.</p>

Can you give us any information on when Webster will notify students and how? Email? Letter? Thank you for any information you can supply.</p>
<p>My daughter is a junior MT student at Webster and I remember these waiting days quite well. Webster notified by letter. My daughter has loved her experience and is nervous yet anxious to be a senior. If I can help anyone, please don’t hesitate to ask.</p>
