| Melsmom - Wonderful news for Mel!!! I'm so happy for her and for you. Eric is very impressed with the Point Park dance program and really liked the teacher that did the jazz dance at the musical theatre audition.
Okay - out of hiding I'll come. Yes, Eric did his first audition 9/23 at Point Park for musical theatre. He very much wants me to keep private about all this, but it really is very exciting. I can't promise that I'll share more for awhile since he really doesn't want me to. I'll be glad to share the experience in e-mails if you want to write me, but everything was very impressive and positive.
Mel did the dance audition one week later. I'm wondering if we'll hear from the conservatory early next week. We're on pins and needles waiting. Mel got her academic acceptance about a week ago, and Eric's academic acceptance came the next mail day (Tues. after the Columbus Day holiday). We do live farther away, and our mail may be slower. Today he got one envelope from PPU that had 2 scholarship letters - a relatively large academic scholarship and a smaller community service and leadership award. I'm assuming if one is accepted into the conservatory with talent money that the talent award comes in the envelope with the acceptance. Melsmom - were your other 2 together in one envelope and the talent money in with the dance acceptance envelope? I also think I read that if one receives both of these awards (academic and community service) that they might be invited to interview for a presidential scholarship, but such was not mentioned in today's mail. |
