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

in the 10 club! The only time where having less IS more!!! <3

We are waiting on 9 :frowning: 4 of them - people have heard from, but we haven’t. 1 should be coming out soon. 4 are always the last to notify.

Waiting for 4 more audition programs here. Then we have 4 non-audition BA programs that are all late notifications. So 8 total. But in reality, D is on a wait list, so our journey is far from over.

It is really hard when others have acceptances and you are still waiting- I remember it well. Be strong for 2 1/2 more weeks- 18 days at max (if April 1 is latest date) you can do it!!!

I have two words for all of you still waiting … Oy vey!

Waiting on 5 audition schools, 1 interview and 3 non-audition (academic fits and reaches). I really thought I’d hear from DePaul today but nothing…

Ohhhh. We are actually waiting on 7. 4 haven’t started notifying…3 have! Oy to the vey!!

@quinoamom206ā€Œ - 10 schools still? :open_mouth: Really?!? Wow. We have a new champion! 8-}

I know we are not allowed to post links, so I will hope you can find the article by asking the Google.

The New York Times, Article: How to Survive the College Admissions Madness by Frank Bruni.

Not specifically about MT, but rang so, so true and definitely something I needed to see today.

@addicted2MT we check the mail twice everyday, constantly refreshing …I like to think S strategically chose schools with late notification :neutral_face:

5, although, I think 2 of those are out of the running.

Waiting on 3 or 4ish.

Waiting on two - Point Park and Elon - but since I’m on the Otterbein waitlist I won’t really know until much later. :frowning:

Luckily though I have multiple acceptances so that’s not too bad.

Total impatient waiting question, but – do we think Coastal Carolina is done making decisions or are there more to come? Seems like not many have heard between our coaching group and CC friends… hope everyone is having a relaxing Friday night - if that’s even possible at this point!

I tie for champion at 10 too :((

@quinoamom206ā€Œ - I think there are many schools out there that are waiting for their initial offers to be accepted before they either send out Rejections, Wait Lists or Acceptances. This is why it is SO important that folks who Know they are not going to accept a school, release them so they are free to offer spots to others that are on Hold. If you are still waiting on a school that you have heard has made offers to some, and rejections to others, then (I believe) you are most probably still being considered to take the spot of someone who may turn them down. Just look at our ā€œAcceptances by memberā€ thread. Look at every kid who has received more than one offer. Regardless of how many offers they received, they can only accept one. Until all of us on that list release those schools, our kids’ spots cannot be offered to those waiting. Granted, some schools offer to many more than they want, knowing they will yield a lower number. Those schools have probably sent out most of their rejections out already. However, until you gat an official ā€œNoā€, there is still hope! Hang in there!

DANG!!! Y’all have been busy whilst The D and I hung at the mall tonight. Congrats to all the new acceptances. Sorry to hear about the rejections which I believe is harder on the parents.

I resisted the urge to call every department head and tell them that they had some nerve not to accept my child into their raggedy lil program (because of course every program that doesn’t take your child becomes raggedy and lil). Hang in there, folks! You’re in the home stretch…the final touchdown? the last quarter? Hey, my kid does theatre not sports!

@GSOMTMomā€Œ – last quarter if we are going with the March Madness analogy.

My D waiting on five: Point Park, Emerson, BoCo, Roosevelt, Hartt.
