Emerson College Waitlist

My child just found out from Emerson that they are NOT TAKING ANYONE from their incoming freshmen waitlist. Why it took till mid-June for them to make this decision, one cannot imagine. It really put us in a spot because her safety school was asking for more and more $$ towards tuition and housing (all of it NON refundable) so we were increasingly at financial risk while waiting for Emerson to make up their mind.

Supposedly, letters to this effect are going out by June 10th.

Well, I will refresh this old thread by adding my D's name to the waitlist for this year. I don't know if that means she is waitlisted for the program, or just the school. I will call them tomrrow to find out. It's possible to be waitlisted for admissions, and declined by the program isn't it?

You found out already? I thought letters don't go out until Saturday.

A letter came today, and it was fat, and I got all excited waiting for her to come home. But alas, waitlisted. Honestly though, it was her first audition, and she tanked on it, so we didn't have high hopes.

Count me in for the wait list too. Hopefully we will find out before June!

Am I the only one who hasn't heard from Emerson yet?

Nope, my D is still waiting to hear too. But we're in Montana and evidently the mail service has gone back to the Pony Express days (at least it seems that way to her).

My Friend Lee got in, we go to Idyllwild Arts Academy, and they said they sent my letter out friday, and that it had already reached California. The crappy thing is they sent it to my parents old adress instead of school so it will take two extra days to forward, How are they sending letters ou, all together? All I've heard is waitlist and one acceptance?

There's been a lot of acceptances if you check the thread.

And now it turns out that even if I do get in (I still haven't gotten my letter) I won't be able to go because I didn't get into the honors program, and I needed that scholarship. I'm bummed, but it will make the possible letdown about mt easier.
