Class of 2019 (the journey begins) - Sharing,Venting, Etc

Honestly, that would be so useful and fun to see where everyone else is getting in! I’m going to see if I can’t revive those accounts for this year.

The twitter for acceptances this year is @basicbroadway

The phone rang last night. There was a MT school name on the caller id.

It was the one school that D wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole.

They just wanted our FASFA anyway. =))

Penn State has named its new head of Musical Theater: John Simpkins, formerly a master teacher of musical theater at NYU Steinhardt.

I think there is a new definition for “March Madness”! Just sayin’

.In case anyone hasn’t heard: “Amy Rogers will NOT start making calls today because Pace is closed due to weather. Sorry folks . More waiting”

^^As if anyone needed another thing to factor into all this…the weather!

The Gods are torturing us. It’s those Actors Guild people behind this, I just know it!

I’ve decided.

D has her last audition tomorrow. Dance (as some of you may recall) is not her strong suit.

If she flubs her dance, she’s going to go directly into this routine:

(I need a drink!)

@addicted2MT the phones still work though… LOL… :wink:

^^What @my97MTbaby‌ said…

@my97MTbaby‌ - I am just a humble messenger.

LOL, aren’t we all :slight_smile: @addicted2MT‌

What is up with this nasty winter weather??? If the normal waiting isn’t bad enough now we have to put up with weather delays!!

I posted this in the moved Point Park thread - but I thought it could be useful to all - so I’m reposting this information here as well.

Didi you know that you can “bookmark” a thread and it will notifiy you when new posts appear? That is what I did in each school I was following last year - within each school section - generally there is a “Acceptances?” or “Has anyone heard?” or some such thread - if you bookmark those - you’ll be notified whenever new posts are made on those threads… and when the final decision was made - I went back and unbookmarked those threads!

Scroll to the top of this thread - if you click the star next to the word “Bookmark” - it will turn orange - and this thread will now be one you follow. You can look at all your bookmarked threads by clicking the orange star way up at the top in the right corner of the screen. Unclick the star at the top of the thread to take it off your bookmark list!

I agree that adding back a more universal notification on the school threads would be preferable - but I found this a workable workaround last year.

Does anyone know what decisions / rejections/ admissions will be out this week?

@Kategrizz… were you also the one who told us about “drafts”? … you are a CC maven!!

It comes from years in my early career training medical practice management software - I would often create “workaround” solutions so that practices could continue to operate as closely to how they did before - makes me unafraid to look in the nooks and crannies of software for hidden features! @lojosmo

oh - and the drafts thing I probably found because I’m OCD and I noticed a number growing next to the word “Drafts” in the upper left column… and I had to figure out how to get rid of it! (I also have to physically shut down facebook because I’m so compulsive about clearing the notifications.)

@KaMaMom I had to laugh at the flashdance link. Where will your D get the vinyl album and how about the guy smoking a cigar in the audition room?!

The vinyl will be no problem- she could borrow from my D - who seems to spend every spare $ on vintage records :slight_smile:
