mth_dad, does your son have anything in writing about the no cut decision? I'm asking because at the Unifieds they said they offer to a large number and then will graduate a class of 16. Also, they said the study abroad program at the castle is the only one MT kids can do. Any information your S could provide would be accepted in this period of decisions, decisions....

The students I talked to at the audition also said it wasn't a good idea to do the study abroad program. They said it puts Musical theater students at a disadvantage going into their cut audition.

Just wondering if anyone here has heard from Emerson after unifieds in Chicago. Will there only be final notifications end of March? Just curious. Thanks.

Emerson is a school that sounds out all decisions at one time (not including the Early Action ones in December). Therefore, don't expect to hear until late March or by April 1.

My son, now a sophomore, just survived the reauditions. His class started at 20. Three left the program on their own and they cut 2. He says his class of 15 is typical with the number going anywhere from about 12 to 18. I now am unsure that this policy is going to change. He spent the first semester of his sophomore year at the Castle Well. This is a magnificent program and an experience of a lifetime. I was concerned that missing his voice instruction for so long would be a problem so he made sure to have some additional lessons outside of school. His acting instruction at the castle was outstanding. I understand that they are now not going to close the Castle to musical theatre majors but will instead add a voice instructor on site.
