<p>I have never seen this site so dead. Usually this time of year there is a lot going on about the waiting to hear from everyone's schools.</p>
<p>You are right. My D went thru this 2 years ago and is at it again as a transfer this time. 2 years ago it was much much busier- constant activity!</p>
<p>It seems like colleges are waiting longer before they mail most of the acceptances than in the past. I think it is quiet because so many haven’t heard anything yet. WE are waiting for all but 2 schools my D auditioned for.</p>
<p>Same here CalMTMom- all but 2. I think we have to wait even longer than usual because she is a transfer.</p>
<p>Is it just me or is checking CC for new info kind of addicting? I tried to come on just once a day for Lent but failed miserably!</p>
<p>At this point we are just all on hold or we know where S/D are going. </p>
<p>Although in at two schools, we are waiting on NYU, Fordham, BOCO and Webster - as well as hoping that CCM will send a nice scholarship package - which won’t come in until April. </p>
<p>Plus, frankley, any question a Jr. might have should be easily answered by going through the threads already in place.</p>
<p>sandkmom - I agree! I’m having trouble staying away, even though I’m finished with auditions and have heard back from most. There’s hardly any information left for me to glean, and yet I can’t break the addiction!</p>
<p>I think many of us have this little addiction, my son went through auditions 4 years ago and I’m still here! Although I have branched out and I do read the Parent Cafe forum and the Music Forum. Besides it is nice to be able to help out sometimes.</p>
<p>OH MY GOSH SANDKMOM! I laughed out loud when I read your post…I did the EXACT same thing for the EXACT same reason!! We are still waiting to hear from one school, and then the drumroll, please! Too funny!</p>
<p>I tried too! But failed. I stalk this place religiously.</p>
<p>I’m with srw–my D has already GRADUATED from her MT program and I keep coming back! I really should move on…but I can’t help myself!</p>
<p>Haha, and here I thought it was just me! I check several times a day and read all the current posts on the main MT thread whenever they appear, and I hardly ever have to open new posts when they become ‘gray circle’ ones (if that made sense to you). Plus I read all the new posts in the MT threads of the schools that I’m thinking about applying to in addition to the Theater/Drama board. You’d think I’d have a higher post count with how often I’m on here! Though I’m sure that will change when I’m applying and auditioning next year. :)</p>
<p>musicmom and srw (among many other veterans) don’t stop posting. Some of us are going to need you in the next few years! Your insight is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>It is addicting and fun to read how everyone is doing. I agree- I hope the veterans keep posting!</p>
<p>i have often wondered if there is a secret running count on how many times i have logged on. someone could use it to blackmail me! we really thank this forum for getting us through this whole crazy process.</p>
<p>Well, I feel better now to know I’m not alone in my addiction! And in the interest of full disclosure, my other addictions are Snapea Crisps and Wife Swap. 
I’m also a little scared at the idea of a secret running count of logins, nicksmtmom! And I think I’ll take AlexaMT’s comment about stalking this place “religiously” to justify my Lenten failure, lol!</p>
<p>I think I lurked and researched for almost a year before I first posted back in November. I guess once I started posting, I felt like I was part of the community. Thanks to everyone for sharing all their wisdom and triumphs and disappointments. It does make it easier to feel less alone in the crazy college admissions/auditions process.</p>
<p>You all are making me feel better about “stalking” this site! I just checked and next month is my 5-year anniversary of being registered on the site. lol</p>
<p>My D’s a senior this year, which means I stalked it for 4 years before ever beginning the audition process. But thanks to my lurking, I understood the process and obstacles before the year even started. </p>
<p>I can’t imagine attempting this year without the knowledge we’ve gleaned from this site!</p>
<p>5 years and new member, cawrd??? Time to jump in and start seeing stars! I see stars and don’t even remember posting at this point! :)</p>
<p>I actually do feel badly about my Lenten failure(s) though. Whatever was I thinking trying to give up CC this year with my firstborn awaiting decisions??? Apparently though according to all you CC vets I’ll be on this site for years to come so I’ll get to try again! Or NOT!!!</p>
<p>Oh man… I check this site every day… I have to admit that I’m addicted as well… I guess my reason is to see if anyone has posted new acceptances— see if any of my schools that I’m waiting on have sent out letters yet @__@ I’ve been stalking my mailbox like no other… senior year is so stressful!</p>
<p>I know it’s pretty normal, but so far all I’ve gotten is 3 rejections and 1 waitlist( that one I’m REALLY excited about)… so I’m still waiting to hear direct answers from 8 schools @<a href="mailto:@">@</a>… I’ve gotten rejections from CCM ( not a big deal, cause I wasn’t expecting to get in anyways ha ha), UOklaholma, and Point Park… still waiting to get answers from Shorter College, Shenandoah, Wright State, Webster, Emerson, Carnegie Mellon, Boston Conservatory, and Uarts. :-)---- I did my first audition in Noveber, so I’ve been waiting for quite a while… eiiik! </p>
<p>Wish me luck?</p>
<p>And best wishes to everyone still waiting for letters, I know it’s scary and nerveracking, but in the end, you’ll end up where you’re supposed to be. :-D</p>
<p>Postal Personnel: Beware!</p>
