| My D is in the same boat as your son, guitardad. She left for school yesterday morning depressed when she read the email. At first, she didn't realize that she was in at all, because she read the email in a frenzy. I had to "talk her down" and get her to understand the part about secured admission for the spring semester. She was still insulted, haha, but she's feeling much better now. She took the option of "remain on the waitlist, but secure admission for spring" and I called the bursar with my credit card for the deposit.
She has been accepted at an in-state university for vocal performance, and she's planning to go there for the first semester if she's not admitted to Berklee in the fall. If she likes it there, she might stay. I hope this is the right way to handle this.
gina225, we got the same answer you did about recommendations, and we sent none. I,too, wonder if recommendations would have helped, because we could have sent some great ones. Other schools gave similar responses, in that if they asked for one rec they only wanted one, and would even throw out any extras. |
