<p>April 14th for eastman!!! Gah!</p>
<p>Waiting last year for Eastman. From Apr. 1 last year we were checking S2's email almost hourly. We didn't call the office. Then they said it might be the 7th. Turns out the acceptance e-mail was sent after 7 p.m. on Friday evening. Packet with FA and official docs came by Fed Ex the following Tues. E-mail did not specify FA, just acceptance.</p>
<p>Eastman’s latest is that they plan to have everything out by the 1st of April (Wednesday) and if you haven’t heard by next Friday, it’s OK to call and ask. Some delays can be attributed to those apps that need special financial considerations since Eastman works on a “three deities” arrangement of Eastman Admin Dean+ U of R Academics+ Financial person. What is getting to me is that some people are getting phone calls, others are receiving e-mails…it would be really nice if some consistency would be applied, so that everyone was on the same page…</p>
<p>I was pretty surprised by the phone call from Eastman since their admissions office told me directly that they’d notify via email and include the numbers with that. So far, there’s been no email at all.</p>
<p>Yes, Don, it’s exactly that sort of thing that makes the waiting even more difficult. If they’d just pick one format and stick with it, one would at least know where to look!
What time did they call and do you know who made the call?</p>
<p>AHH! Eastman is taking wayyyyyy to long. I need a month AT LEAST to make the most important decision so far in my life… it’s like getting married!! i need some time, eastman!</p>
<p>Cute, MusicForAWhile. You hit the nail on the head.</p>
<p>Enough already with the waiting! (We’re waiting for a different school.)</p>
<p>Got Eastman official letter and FA package by e-mail on Friday.</p>
<p>Mezzo’sMama - Adrian Daly, Eastman’s Director of Admissions, made the call himself about 8PM on Friday night. It’s kind of odd because he said he didn’t have FA info, but asked if my daughter still had the same preference for a studio. I can see the Voice Department wondering about that but I’m not sure why he’d care.</p>
<p>And what about acceptances from weeks ago and STILL no FA packages?
How can an applicant make an intelligent decision?</p>
<p>Just a cranky mom here! :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They have to go to 4 years of college before they can make an intelligent decision. Even then, it is hit or miss.</p>
<p>Ha ha haa! That is so witty, OperaDad!</p>
<p>OperaDad-
Then I guess my S is in big trouble since he HAS completed 4 yrs of college and is awaiting VERY slow grad school responses!</p>
<p>I have seen a some postings in the last few days that people have heard admission/FA from NEC, but my daughter is still waiting. Anyone else not heard yet? I am wondering if the mail is just slow or if she needs to call.</p>
<p>We got the NEC package on Tuesday. Eastman’s email arrived last night. BoCo told me they’d mailed there’s on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Still waiting for anything from Eastman. Son called yesterday and asked if all the undergraduate decisions were made and admissions replied yes. So now he wants to wait for the snail mail to arrive. Likes opening the mail for some reason so could be days before we know his status there.</p>
<p>It sounds like its coming soon–good luck NJ Jazzdad!</p>
<p>Daughter got NEC packet today finally! Accepted.</p>
<p>Congrats Tubamom!</p>
