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

Wow, I would love to! Thanks for offering info!

Friend got acceptance to Wagner today- so those notifications are if anyone is waiting on that program

Also, Elon portals seem to have been updated, I just checked ours. Did anyone else get an update yet?

Elon portals updated saying what?

The portal is only academic @limbo2019.
I read through last years cohort comments. MT acceptances were made by phone.

First acceptance was a great one… Elon! S woke us up late last night when portals were updated to share that he had been accepted. Looked closer and it appeared to be an academic acceptance with no reference to MT. S got a call early this morning that went to Voicemail, asking him to call back. Which he did and then he got the great news! Huge relief as he didn’t apply to any ā€œsafeā€ schools, and hadn’t heard back yet from any of his top prospects. Today is the first day of Spring Break for him, so it definitely will allow for a bit more R&R. Best of luck to all who are waiting.

Love that @bonski. Congrats!!!

Absolutely love to hear a story like that @bonskiā€Œ , thank you for sharing! Congratulations!

Congrats @bonski! What a great story!!!

If anyone is interested there’s a really cool thread under Musical Theater Major called ā€œFreshman Experience.ā€ http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/1067706-the-freshman-experience.html

It contains the freshman year Musical Theater College experiences and schedules, as reported by mostly students, and a few parents. There are currently 27 schools represented on the thread from Ball State to Webster.

It gives you a feel for the classes, schedules, and overall impressions of the school…as seen from a freshman perspective. It may be useful for those who are trying to decide between multiple schools.

Please schools, redirections should not start with the words ā€œcongratulationsā€. Thank You

Thank you 16bars! I’d love to see this thread updated by current Freshmen. There are a couple schools not represented that my D is trying to decide between right now, and it would be so helpful to know what it is really like to be a student in those programs!

Any more BW or Ball State news? Just crickets, here! Hoping against hope for a BSU call (at least priority waitlist) and waiting for tomorrow’s mail for BW. Do we all think BSU calls are over, I know they said by early next week, but the boards have been so quiet the last few days. We are getting to the point that we just want to know, either way, so my D can start making plans.

@Divamamacitaā€Œ We have never heard anything from Ball State either. Same boat as you; would just love to know either way. D has one acceptance and several yet to hear from, but I think she’s ready to love the school that wants her but there’s that nagging feeling that she doesn’t have all the information yet. We just want it to be over!

@Divamamacitaā€Œ and @mamaoffiveā€Œ last year the calls took right at two weeks from the first phone call to the time that one of our students got a call putting her on the waitlist. I am not even sure that the call was the last at that time, so if this year is anything like last year, it could easily just be a lull as they are still working on the last few places. Until there is a no, there is still hope :smile:

My daughter wasn’t notified until April last year from Ball State. She ended up having to call them.

I love the idea but was hoping for more in http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/1067706-the-freshman-experience.html Nobody reporting in on my kid’s top three schools. Needs to be revived. This is a plea to parents of freshmen who are lurking here. Help a buddy out and get your kid to share the week’s schedule or overall observations.
