Acceptances 2007 - Page 3

Otterbein College is located just outside of Columbus, Ohio. The Presidential Scholarship Dinner has nothing to do with the NFAA Awards; it is to recognize students who are being given awards by the college. Many musical theatre programs offer talent scholarships to deserving students, though sometimes the academic scholarships offered by the school are larger. Students can often be awarded both talent and academic scholarships. Colleges do not decide whether or not to award students a talent scholarship on the basis of how they have fared at NFAA.

As far as someone who's a new member appearing to have already been through the application and audition process, that it quite possible. Many people read the College Confidential MT forum for a long period of time before deciding to post. The terms new member, junior member, and member simply refer to how many posts someone has made, not how long they have been reading and/or posting. A member, for example is anyone who has made 300 or more posts on any of the CC forums.

LAStagemom,my D was awarded the Presisential Scholarship based on her S.A....included in her application to Ottterbein...this award/scholarship was totally different than the one she recieved for talent

Hi mum2four... yes I think our Ds did meet. They didn't get to talk much but if she is who I think she is she had on a pretty white and red dress. Debbie B. sat at out table. If you like I can email you my Ds email and maybe they can talk to each other. My D received a wonderful talent award as well and she is so excited about Otterbein. MTaussies's son is a great dancer. My D took a class with him on Thursday. Otterbein has everything she is looking for so she is Columbus bound.

Thanks for the congratulations! Congratulations also to your daughter! Otterbein was my son's favorite school and he is so happy to be accepted. Everyone has been so nice and speaks so highly of the school that we can't wait to visit.

Dear D&GMM
It is great to hear from someone else going to Otterbein! My D will also be in MT with a dance concentration. She is so excited and mum2four is right linus and Katie are great. Both are on CC now. Catididwhat and linus are their screen names. If you want to PM me, maybe the kids can get to know each other a little before schools starts. When did you son audition? We were there Jan. 27. Just thought maybe we might have seen each other is you were there on the same day. Where are you from?
MTaussie is also very helpful. D met her son at Otterbein during our last visit. We would love to go see Hello Dolly but don’t know if we can work it out yet. Everyone on CC has been wonderful.
It is so great to hear of the acceptances. Can’t wait to meet everyone in person.

Hi 2BRN2B,

Congrats to your daughter! I think it would be great for the kids to exchange information. I'll PM some contact info to you. We're visiting soon and are really looking forward to it!

my D will also be a freshman at Otterbein next year as a music/vocal performance major. Ditto what mum2four said, we love everything about Otterbein! It's a small campus with a small town feel but so close to the city anything you want to do is right there! Congratulations to your and your son!

MTaussie · 04-16-2007, 05:29 PM

Congratulations D&G'sMom on your S's acceptance to Otterbein . . . another CC'er at Otterbein . . . hurray!!!! I know your S will be very happy and he'll get fabulous training too

My son is a freshman MTD and loves what he is doing. He is very, very happy with the program at Otterbein.

Just got back from our visit to Otterbein and we loved everything! The kids, faculty, and staff were all very welcoming and really made us feel right at home. The campus and the surrounding communities were great, too! We took a whirlwind tour of Westerville, the Polaris area, Easton and Columbus and were really impressed. Such a variety of things to do from smaller town to big city. Wow, what a beautiful area!

Thanks to everyone on CC for their advice and everyone we met for making our trip so enjoyable! It's a great feeling to have his college decision made and to all be so happy with the decision!

D&GsMom
I am so glad you trip went so well. We felt the same way when we visited! My D will be happy to hear the news!!!

2brn2b,
Is your D ________?

2BRN2B · 05-06-2007, 09:49 AM

Hi drhowarddrfine
I PM'd you. What is your student majoring in? There are two Otterbein 2011 sites on facebook, and a lot of the kids are on both sites. It's nice for them to be able to begin talking. There are a variety of majors and kids from all different places. Let me know if you don't get my PM.
