I know of two people who have heard back from Michigan BFA Acting, not sure about MT
Totally agree @AimingForSuccess. Every year about this time on this board there are misunderstandings & hurt feelings, mostly due to everyone being so on edge. I think the vast majority of the kids are super grateful for their parents support but at this point are just too exhausted and stressed to show it. As parents who have invested a lifetime of pouring everything we can into our kids and wanting them to realize their dreams - acceptances and rejections are painfully personal for all of us. So I guess we just keep the faith and keep being kind to each other. I for one would be in a terrible place without the advice & support of everyone here…
@WhiteRaven1 do not give it a second thought! My daughter was put into the FB group and promptly left as she is not interested in drama (the irony, right??). You seem like an amazing young woman, the fact that you are doing this on your own is an amazing testimony! You should be nothing but proud! All I have are best wishes for you…
LOL!! The name of the kid’s Facebook page has changed from The Company, to The Conjuring (I totally get that), to The College Confidential Fanclub.
@aiming4success @bfahopeful As a student it can sometimes be very stressful to see our parents/adults in our lives stress out about our auditions/acceptances because at least in my case, I like to be very independent about my college process and try not to worry my parents. We are all freaking out right now, because this is our future, sorry if parents get caught in the crossfire of our whirlwind of emotions. To all of the parents, from a girl who has not been accepted into any BFA programs yet: your kids will be fine wherever they go. Theater kids are adaptable if your kid has true passion they will find a path to succeed regardless of their acceptances. I know it’s hard, but do not worry (I have to keep telling my mom this). There is nothing you can do except be receptive and supportive. We will find our way. 
@WhiteRaven1 - is am sorry that you are experiencing problems - that is the last thing anyone here would want
@collegeyayyyyyy thank you. That was a very encouraging post for the future for both kids and parents -to remember everyone will be fine. Wishing you some good news soon and the best of luck.
@MTMommma bahahahahhaha! I love the new name. Lol. So glad we can all still keep a sense of humor.
Yes, U Mich MT calls (well at least one) went out. D’s classmate was accepted:)
@bisouu So glad you mentioned your BA vs BFA experience. My D fell in love at a prospective student weekend at a BA in MT school last weekend. Now, this was for the school in general not the MT program. She came home ready to commit even though we still need to hear from one program. She has a visit set up at a BFA MT school where she was accepted in 2 weeks. She was ready to cancel it. I told her to take a day or two to think it over. The next day I told her to pull the curriculum and compare and maybe she needed to set up an MT visit at the BA school just to make sure that the training that she thinks she will be receiving matches what she has desired in a BFA program for so long. Which she did, for next week. That conversation ended in tears because she said I made her doubt herself. I felt terrible. I just want her to make an informed decision. The BA program she is looking at sounds exactly like what @bisouu 's daughter experienced. That would be perfect for my child. If she is still in love after her visit, should I make her visit the other program? Experienced parents I would love your input. Oh and the BA program is almost a full ride. Is March over yet?!?
If she loves it after her MT visit (is she sitting in on classes?) then it may be the right one for her and for the family given the great financials too. If she doesn’t feel the need to visit the BFA school that is ok. But if there is a chance she will wonder “what if” then perhaps she should visit just to put it to rest.
I would say many kids know after a visit if it is right or not. However, a visit to the specific program (not just the school) is super smart to do. Good luck.
My daughter told me that getting a BFA acceptance validated her belief in her talent (she never really doubted herself) but decided that the BA school was the best fit for her. I was the one pushing the BFA in the beginning but she new better than me so glad I trusted her instincts. 3 years later I see such maturity that in the beginning they sorely lack. Such a huge decision for such young people to muddle through. Let your daughter know that the money she saves on getting a full ride @brightstaral she can use that money to continue to train in NYC and get moved in and settled. That is our plan.
Texas State MT and BW both today. Seems surreal!
@brightstaral been there done that!! It’s ok it’s almost over.
@collegeyayyyyyy - you sound like a wonderful kid. That attitude will take you far in life. BAL to you this month!
Has anyone heard anything from Texas Tech? I know they originally said acceptances would go out mid February by mail, but then it changed to early to mid March. I know of one rejection sent out this week by email. Any news for anyone else?
Best wishes to everyone waiting for notifications today! I’m anxious to see posts from my D’s future “family.” Fingers tightly crossed for all!
@brightstaral This is so tough for our kids and the decisions they’re being asked to make are pretty serious ones. I imagine that the relief of just saying “I’m done! I know where I’ll be going.” is part of the draw for choosing the BA school - whether your D realizes it or not. And if she’s like my daughter, the scholarship seems so good and she doesn’t want to burden you with a more costly school. But this choice isn’t on par with picking a tasty entree from the value meal menu.
I think you are right to insist she visit all her options and get as much first-hand experience on campus and hopefully sit in on a class with current BA or BFA students. Trust me, what’s on paper is NOT necessarily what the actual program experience will be. (My D is on her second year of auditions after leaving a program that didn’t live up to its glossy program materials.) Assure your D that you are not doubting her ability to make a choice, but just asking her to test that decision by visiting another school to reaffirm that her first choice is still what she wants.
She is lucky to have a mom who wants the very best for her and is willing to put in the extra trouble and expense of multiple college visits!
My new mantra is “clarity”; I am seeking/praying for clarity! My hope is that 3 weeks from today, on 3/31, my D will have all of her answers and we can formulate a plan-to visit, to consider a BA, to consider one of her non MT “safeties”, etc. So far she has no waitlists-only yeses and nos, which for her, I think is a blessing. She has some stellar academic and financial options, but it doesn’t make any sense to stress (ha!) or prepare until all of the pieces are in place. Wishing you all clarity as well-whatever that looks like for you: That the financial stuff falls into place, that “we” (students with the support of their adoring parents) feel good about our final decisions, etc.
Waitlist at Chapman…I have to say I was pretty surprised at that…not that my D liked that audition at all. She and many others got a very uneasy feeling about it. She auditioned at NYC Unifieds.
My S got a WL letter from Marymount Manhattan yesterday. We’re happy, but hoping for a yes here soon.
