| Thanks! No, she goes to very small independent school and is able to check phone between classes. She had a voice mail from Cary and called him back! When she called me, I could barely understand what she was saying she was talking so fast and high pitched! |

| Congratulations to your daughter, sualabama! What a difference a few hours makes as you were just asking when you'd hear and then your D got a call! Enjoy this happy moment. | |

| I know, Sooz! I think while I was posting the question here, she was getting the voice mail on her cell phone! She is so thrilled and of course so am I. This will make the long month of March very easy, actually. I do believe this will be the place for her. | |

| My D auditioned on Feb 2nd at the NYC Unifieds...
I read here that someone got a call on the Monday (25th) and no call here so I assume its a rejection...
Good luck with your S... when did he audition? | |

| It has been mentioned before how busy the admission dept is at PSU, but for what it's worth my D's online page says "we are still reviewing your application". So again, there is probably no way to know what the online messages mean. They could update those alphabetically, or backwards, or by SSN"... | |

| First of all congrats with your D!!
I'm one of those realists who prefers to think its no and then when its no its no surprise but if it happens to be yes its great 
Maybe previous year applicants know whether a comment like "decision in the mail" means something specific or could mean anything... | |

| On the actual admission status page, " a decision in the mail" at PSU means nothing specific (at least it hasn't in the past). Everyone sees that notice when the decision has been mailed. It says two weeks, but expect more like a few days unless you really live a long way away.
As to MT acceptance, last year my daughter was accepted for MT. She did not receive a phone call. She did receive a separate letter of acceptance from the MT department in addition to the huge PSU acceptance envelope. She auditioned on a Friday or Saturday (can't remember which schools did which at this point, but whatever is typical of PSU) and received her huge PSU packet in the mail in less than a week with MT acceptance in it. The following week, she received a letter from the MT department with acceptance and departmental scholarship information in it. I called with a question and was told that she really was supposed to receive the MT letter first, but the way their system works, they send a list of students to the admission department that they would like to accept, then admissions sends out acceptances to those academically qualified. I think because our D had applied in early September, and was well qualified for PSU academically, but didn't audition until late January, as soon as admissions got the MT list from her audition date, admissions sent her packet. So that is how it beat the actual departmental letter to our house.
Hope that all made sense.
I wouldn't necessarily read anything into whether or not you have had a phone call. If there was a "callback" or "interview" on the audition day, you are at least in the runnning. Maybe this year everyone who is accepted is getting a phone call. I just don't know. But the online status for PSU doesn't mean anything about the MT decision, unlike some other schools (UM for example will have that message if you are NOT being accepted and a congratulations message if you are, at least in past years). | |

| That information is very helpful, nydancemom. I am in the same boat as BwayRocks and I have the same fears. It would be so great to be pleasantly surprised with an acceptance | |
