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

<p>Congratulations!!!</p>

<p>Congrats, @Theatremom2015‌ !!! And for the rest, I just called BW to make sure my all of my D’s paperwork had been received as we had received an email saying that she was missing things. They had it all, but for whatever reason, it was not marked that they had it all so she would not have gotten a decision letter as they do not mail them out unless all paperwork & supplemental materials are in. She said that they had just started sending out decision letters but they couldn’t send them out if things were missing. So, if your kid applied and you hear nothing, you might call them and find out if they have everything marked as “received.” Just an FYI.</p>

<p>To be clear- I didn’t mean to avoid posting on social media (esp if you have good news to share). But if you know other people who are also waiting it is nice to let them know individually that your decision is in- and ask about theirs </p>

<p>On another thread there was a reference to “factory schools” that referenced UMich and CCM in particular. I’m assuming that’s not a positive designation but am not really sure what’s meant. Can anyone enlighten me? Why would these be referred to as “factory schools” and what other colleges would you label that way?</p>

<p>Without speaking to any school in particular- the term “factory school” (as I understand it) refers to schools that turn out a very specific “type” of performer. As in “you can tell that person X is from __________”. </p>

<p>Ah, so not necessarily casting aspersions. I would still be curious to know what “types” various schools are known for turning out. </p>

<p>@vocal1046‌ I remember discussing this last year. It was more on the line of how good looking everyone at CCM seems to be. ;)) I think this is it</p>

<p>PS
I added the emoticon because I know you love them.</p>

<p>I wish I could click like and helpful and funny and tension-alleviating and every other icon. I so appreciate when posters here can, y’know, actually see some humor. I was looking at some older postings yesterday and saw that many of my own had emoticons attached to them that I am certain I did not append - often that “shame” one that caused such confusion on the agent gifts thread. Ah, the mysteries of errant keystrokes.</p>

<p>I want to second the checking to make sure everything is there. We sent test scores to 4 schools on the same day and one still has not received them although the other three did and all on different dates. You just can never be to careful.</p>

<p>Annoyingactorfriend (whom I know some like and some don’t" calls CCM kids “prairie hotties”</p>

<p>So, no one has chimed in on “Peter Pan” yet
 surprising. I thought it was great (without micro-analyzing individual performances)
 and much better than “Sound of Music.” Also, do you think the Lost Boys were former Newsies??? </p>

<p>Loved, loved Wendy :ar! (finally got to use that emoticon) :ar! </p>

<p>I thought it was big fun and a local girl from an insanely talented family (her brother went on last night as Aladdin on Broadway, he is u/s) was Tiger Lily! The dancing especially was off the hook fantastic!</p>

<p>@MTmom2015‌ some were Newsies yes. The dancing and choreography was great.</p>

<p>My son knows Wendy and one of the Lost Boys - former classmates. It was fun to see them perform on TV. </p>

<p>There were a number of Newsies (including I believe the dance captain) I thought the choreography last night was fun- and remarkably similar to Newsies- I thought someone might slip up and say “seize the day” rather than “I won’t grow up”. I enjoyed the performance, but did anyone think the quasi romance between Peter and Wendy read strangely on the small screen (I liked both performers overall, but that aspect struck me as odd with intimacy of tv)</p>

<p>Anybody find anything “fun” in their mailbox today? Our mail hasn’t come yet, although I’ve already checked it twice!</p>

<p>@toowonderful Since we all know Peter’s actual gender, and with the close ups, yes it made that which is strange even stranger. The “crush” on Peter is sweet, and Peter’s reaction typical of a boy unaware of girls, (one who doesnt want to grow up) but yes, it was awkward last night, I agree.</p>

<p>Anyone heard from Shenandoah recently about prescreens ??:slight_smile: </p>

<p>Yes BroadwayBaby, d sumitted nov 26 and got a yes on the first</p>
