| That's what I remember too. That is why they send them out at 5:30 so by time you get it they are gone for the day. But she did say that you can call her later to discuss why your didn't get in. |

| I went to the source and emailed BoCo admissions to ask how decisions would be sent out and when. The admissions office said that they will email students "at the end of March" and that email will instruct them to go online to find their decision. | |

| I looked up my D's acceptance to BOCO from last year. It arrived via email on the last Friday in March the late afternoon in. She received an email that she could go online at BOCO's site and check her status, if that helps. Good Luck!!! | |

| ttmom, it's good to hear from you on the board! Thanks for checking into your D's experience. Now, everyone knows to check his or her email late in the afternoon of the last Fri of the month.
Not sure if anyone can answer this, but how long does it take after decisions to find out about any financial aid package, if accepted? | |

| I just called the admissions office about ten minutes ago to ask if they will be emailing decisions this Friday, and the lady said 'yes', they will. I asked what time they will be sent and she said something along the lines of "I'm not sure....I think 5 o'clock.....so students can't call." | |

| I wonder if these programs are accustomed to having upset kids and parents flood the switchboard with phone calls asking for explanations once the emails go out or something ..... | |

| Apparently you can call BoCo and they will tell you why you didn't get in so therefore they probably get a lot of phone calls and must do it this way to avoid everyone calling in at the same time... Makes perfect sense... | |

| NMR....shockingly (TO ME, that is), I think this DOES happen. I can't imagine calling a school after a rejection in this way but apparently it is common. I first came to realize this when back in my oldest child's junior year of HS, we were on a college visit and my D had lined up various appointments on campus and I took care of lining up the tour and information session. This particular school normally gives information sessions, but on the date we were visiting, they only had the tours. While waiting for the tour, I asked how come there were no information sessions on that day and the person explained that the admissions decisions had just gone out (this was late March) and that the adcoms were so busy fielding phone calls from parents (of those rejected)! I just could not believe it as I would never think to do that and we didn't for either child. But apparently, it happens more than you would think and thus, BOCO's procedure. Many of the highly selective colleges (non-MT) post decisions online at 5:00 or 5:30 March 31 or April 1. My D found out several schools at once. | |

| Hi all! It has been great reading all the posts! Makes me feel like I'm not the only person waiting until Friday!!!
I think it is great that BoCo will field “rejection” calls. How many times have you or your child gone to an audition and felt like you nailed it, only to receive a "rejection" call? Your left confused... This way you are able to ask for the auditors evaluations and hopefully use them for artistic growth. (At least that’s what I keep telling myself.) You'll also know what BoCo is “looking” for if you decide to audition for them in the future. I have a few friends who graduated from BoCo (various years) and most of them auditioned a second time!!
Just a thought…… | |
