If you are waitlisted, don't hold your breath. |

| that's a HUGE number! And they thought last years class was big! There are about 10-15 more than what they had come in for fall of 05.
So that sufficiently fills the class, I'd say. | |

| Amy, that came from Brett and David who got it from Sean and Joel.
I know they YIELD for 20 and admit 100.
But that's how many from the 100 accepted their offers. | |

| What Will Happen With Such a Big Class?
So, what does this huge class size mean? If so many have accepted offers, does that mean the school will (dramatic drumroll please) . . . do some sort of cut to get the sophmore class at a managable number??? | |

| I don't believe the class size means anything really in particular....just that the class sizes seem to be increasing every year.
They don't do a "cut" but I know they do not invite some people back at the end of the year based on many factors from the course of the school year. | |

| I am pretty sure that they will not enforce a cut. Almost every audition-based BFA theatre performance program reserves the right to "not ask people back" (which is cutting them) but that is only if they slack off or are clearly not working...
At my audition we discussed to DePaul cut and Prof White clearly said that a cut system is NOT the kinda of thing that their program agrees with. They want to give a sense of security to their students so that they can take risks...that's what he said. I understand that, although I don't think a cut makes people hold back, but I see where he is coming from.
So, yeah, I doubt that they would do that. | |

| Every year they send out 100 acceptances, covering Acting and MT.
Up until this class, they had only been having classes of like 25 MT and 25 Acting, because that's about how many were accepting their admittance offers. Now it appears almost everyone is taking their admittance offers! | |

| It seems like the phenomena of high yields in BFA programs is a common one in the past year or two. Not sure exactly why but maybe more are applying for these selective programs across the board and so get into just a couple and thus matriculate at the ones they get into. Not sure. But it seems like we are seeing high yields at many programs the last couple of years. | |

| My daughter still has not received her letter! Last Monday, I called the school, gave them my daughter's name and they told me that all remaining letters were mailed the previous weekend. Maybe by Pony Express?
Did anyone received their letter this past week? | |
