My D has a male friend who got accepted to CMU MT but he also got accepted to MT at UM, CCM, NYU, IWU,Webster, and BOCO so far. Do not know what he is doing yet.
I am surprised to hear that anyone has heard officially from BoCo. I was told that they send out emails to everyone at the end of the day on the last Friday of March. Perhaps the young man in question was given an indication at his audition that he should expect to get in? I have heard of that happening.
Apparently BoCo has told some people (my D knows of 3 girls who have been told these exact same words) "to expect good news soon" after their auditions. I personally would definitely take this as an 'being accepted on the spot", unless of course there is something seriously wrong with someone's application (i.e. documents missing etc.). BTW, these same girls have also been accepted to a myriad of other schools including CCM, NYU and UMich, and so I have no idea what this means down the road, because everyone can obviously only attend one school .
Skwidjymom - totally get that and I would be the exact same way, however, BoCo does not have that reputation of "saying things" and then the rejection letter follows . I guess this actually should be on the BoCo thread instead of CMU acceptances...
It seems that every year there are exceptions to the rule, as the info about a girl being accepted to CMU for next year last summer at pre-college attests. Some of these schools probably do not admit that they do take a few kids along the way even if their notification dates are officially "the end of March, the 2nd of April"...The particular young man I am referring to has already had some lovely scholarship offers with his "quite early" acceptances to some of these schools. One never knows what a particular school might be thinking ...as it is, as stated above, he can only matriculate to one school.;')
I think what we also need to take into account is the people who get accepted and do not post on this forum... so 1 person was accepted into the MT program but we don't know about the people who don't post here...
