| NMR - I believe this issue was addressed last year on the thread, and I don't necessarily trust my memory after 2 years. Probably good to check with the performing arts dept. to make sure on issues like this. Things can change from year to year.
If my memory serves me correctly, the 2 week requirement is for the paperwork from the performing arts dept. I believe the application to admissions is totally separate and is due by the regular due dates (sometime in Nov. for early action, and a later date for regular decision candidates).
I remember that the MT acceptance letter said it was pending academic acceptance to the university, which thankfully came a few days later (I believe EA candidates get academic acceptance online on 12/20). If one did not apply EA, you wouldn't know about academic admissions until spring (sometime in March). Remember, EA is non-binding, so it doesn't hurt to go ahead and do this.
Also, it seems that not many students the past couple of years have heard about acceptance to MT in Dec. Most are told about that acceptance to the program in March. In other words, students are "deferred" or wait listed in fall and learn about MT in spring. Not sure how this will be going into next year. |
