I believe that, at least last year, Gary Kline personally called the kids who were accepted to the class. This year, a friend of my D's was accepted out of the summer precollege program and he told me that one girl has already been accepted from the precollege program. Both of these are for musical theater.

Yes, NMR is correct, a friend of mine who also did Pre-College said that one boy and one girl were accepted early. She also told me that the boy has also been accepted to a few other programs as well.

My D thinks they decided the class last Friday. May not have long to wait now! Not sure how she got that info. She knows kids there, kids who applied, and looks for facebook info.

Yes, the young man who got in from CMU precollege has been accepted at several other programs. He is a good friend of mine and is just a wonderfully talented kid who also happens to be a really nice person. He's posted here in the past, so I won't presume to pass along all of his good news. He can do that himself.

The blank line (indicating a decision has been made) showed up on my D's process last week.

They must have made their decisions by now because on the CMU website under the admissions blog, it says they will begin mailing their letters on Friday, March 20, 2009 and continue to do so in batches for a week or so. It says your decision is available on line three days after they mail the letter. So, if they are going to begin mailing out the letters on the 20th, one would anticipate if they want to call the lucky ones first, they will do so this week.

It looks like it might be the empty box labeled "decision" next to where it shows your preferred school and major. It just showed up for my D as well.

I heard a rumor from some of my students (current seniors) that THEY heard that CMU would begin making calls today, or early this week. That may be true, but I'm guessing it's kind of unlikely, as I just came from their NYC Senior Showcase dress rehearsal and most of the faculty was there (and will be tied up with Showcase until at least Wednesday). Gary Kline, who made calls to most (if not all) MT acceptees last year is playing for the Showcase. Just wanted to let everyone know in case you were waiting! (I know last year Showcase was at the same time and they began to make calls the following weekend and continued into Monday and Tuesday.)

Does this hold true for acting majors, too?

Do you know whether those accepted into the acting program (and who were open to either mt or acting) find out by phone call, too? Does it happen at the same time as the mt phone calls?

Numbers

I read last years posts saying CMU was only taking 3 girls that year. How many will they take this year?

Hi MusicTTXMom, i'm a freshman at the school and so far we had one girl accepted through pre-college auditions this summer, so they should probably take 3 or 4 more girls. Don't quote me though. Usually they look for a class of 5 girls and 7 boys.
