Has anyone heard from Emerson yet?

BohemaKJ · 03-10-2008, 04:15 PM

I have no idea when they start sending the letters. I am not a fan of the college waiting game...

Emerson sends decisions by about April 1, as do MANY colleges. They are not rolling. Nobody has heard yet and likely won't hear for a couple of weeks yet.

i want to hear too! IM DYING!!!

this is kind of old news, but did everyone get that little "thank you for your audition; we appreciate your time and talent" email after their audition?

it was just that one sentence, so i'm assuming it was a default message sent to everyone. I'm not reading into that as good or bad news, i was just curious when looking through old mail.

yes Florida - as I recall within minutes - I think it was auto generated from their computer system after the audition was recorded in the system.

I wanted to reply to it, but then decided against it

Just out of curiosity: Does anyone know if you can still be accepted into the college, but not for the musical theatre department? Or if you are rejected from MT, are you automatically rejected from the entire college?

soozievt · 03-21-2008, 05:03 PM

Yes, you can be accepted to the college and not the BFA. Actually, that happened to my daughter after an initial EA deferral for the BFA but an acceptance in EA to the college.

To follow up, if you indicated on your application a second choice major, if you are rejected for MT (but otherwise accepted academically for the college), the rejection letter will also offer you an admission in your second choice major.

soozievt · 03-21-2008, 05:08 PM

Thanks for mentioning that Michael.

Also, to follow up, let me say my D indicated NO second choice major and had NO interest in attending the college without the BFA and still got accepted to the college without the BFA (though at the time of her acceptance, she was in the deferral pile for the BFA), and so that can happen too.

Just covering all scenarios here!

I spoke with the admissions office yesterday. The indicated that the decisions have been made and that they will be mailing letters at the end of this week (3/28). So, another week on pins and needles!

dcblonde · 03-25-2008, 01:31 PM

I heard that they were starting to send them out today!

SingerNLmusic · 03-25-2008, 02:35 PM

OMG i'm freaking out now!! Yet slightly excited!!

Mainstage · 03-25-2008, 04:44 PM

Soozievt - Another scenario --->
Or as in D's case deferred EA from both school and the BFA/M/T - yes, we called to clarify as the letter was strangely worded (no interest in pursuing another major as in your D's case). ;-)

I am confused about Emerson deferral process. I auditioned and was deferred back in November. I did indicate a second choice major which might have been a mistake but I wasn't totally sure what route I wanted to take at the time. My mt audition did go well but now I am wondering I could have already been rejected for musical theatre but was just deferred from the actual college? Very confusing. Any help would be appreciated. Are there any Emerson mt out there who got in after being deferred? It's such a popular school!
