My D's pal here in our little town, was accepted into the college like my D was in the EA round but deferred for the BFA in MT program at the time, exactly like my daughter. D's pal was then accepted in the RD round for the BFA in MT (my D was not). So, yes, you can be accepted to the BFA in the RD round after being deferred in the EA round for the program.

Interesting tidbits that provide insight into what this process is like.....same friend only applied to two schools....both for a BFA in MT....Emerson and NYU/Tisch. She was denied ED to Tisch and now attends Emerson. My D was accepted to Tisch but denied at Emerson (for the BFA itself). This is a common sort of thing to have happen! (by the way, this had nothing to do with academics as the girl was a straight A student and was the salutatorian) Also, same friend, has since switched out of the BFA in MT into a BA track at Emerson as her interests have shifted and are related but are not MT specifically. Again, this also happens.

I have heard some rather negative reviews on Emerson's reputation. The discussion sites have alot of students who are truly dissing this institution. I am hoping that they are a chosen few. Does anyone know of the caliber of the acting program.

My D has a friend who is a sophmore there and she loves the program. She also was able to do their semester at the castle last fall and had the experience of a lifetime. Take a look at the website - the castle program sounds incredible!

Emerson really seems like a great program, but one that may not be for everyone. I didn't really feel that it-and its training methods-were really a good fit for me, but there are tons of people who rave about it... it really depends on what you're looking for.

Thank you!

The packet came in the regular mail, and we are in Texas.

So if we don't get a packet should we just assume it's a rejection?

It's March 28th and we haven't heard a word yet either. My daughter's friend who applied to Emerson but not in the MT department got her letter of acceptance today.

SingerNLMusic - Check your Emerson account under Admission Deposit. I saw on the general Emerson college thread that some are seeing a request for a deposit now where before it was just saying open.

Ours still says open - but you might want to check to see if yours has switched.

Mine said this exactly...Sorry but Undergraduate Admission Deposit Submission is not open at this time. So i'm assuming that means i'm rejected.

Emerson Interactive - Admissions

My D received her acceptance notice in the mail yesterday, so I just checked the Emerson Interactive services page as karenteic mentioned above to see if it showed any change. She DOES have the link for making an admissions deposit. It seems like it may be an indication as to acceptance, but it's never over until you have the results in hand, so hang in there everyone!
