D is at Pace this weekend…BAL everyone!
@marg928 - you can most certainly post any/all acceptances on both forums and we will all be thrilled for you!! My kid auditioned and had acceptances at both acting and MT programs and I posted both in each place 
@toowonderful the person who started it has BFA MT listed for all the schools so I feel funny messing it up…
@marg928 - I say these lists are made to be edited, but that’s up to you. What does everyone else think?
Many of us have kids on both journeys, MT and Acting. We have no idea at this moment where they will land. I like the idea of us finishing the journey together and sharing our results MT or Acting.
I agree-some kids apply to both; some get redirected. An acceptance in either should be celebrated!
My MT D has been accepted to Evansville’s BFA Acting and is really thinking acting might be the way she goes! That from someone who used to think her strengths were: singing, dancing, acting. Go figure!
So I PM’d the person who started the thread and asked if they would mind if Acting acceptances were posted on the list as well and here was the answer:
Hi! I had asked about that but was told that those should go on the straight acting forum instead of musical theatre. Apparently as the months go by the acceptance list gets too long for the post, so they asked to keep it just MT so they are more able to fit all names in. Thanks for checking though!!
@marg928 I’m kind of attached to all of you…so I’m not super happy to have us post like that. Let’s find a solution. 
@followurheart well we can start a new one! I’m not sure how though.
@marg928, @followurheart, et. al. I have been reading and posting here for over 10 years. In my experience there have always been Theatre acceptances posted on the MT forum. Many from students and parents who were auditioning for both MT and Theatre programs, but also from students and parents who were auditioning/ interviewing for only Theatre programs, but participated on both forums.
I DO think it is wonderful that there is also a place on the Theatre/ Drama forum for students and parents to post acceptances, since there are some who primarily participate on the Theatre/ Drama forum. However, I personally do not see the harm in people posting on both forums, particularly if they clarify the type of program acceptance.
Acting, Musical Theatre Performance, Design, Stage Management, Theatre Technology, Arts Management, Directing, Playwrighting, Devising, Theatre History, Dramaturgy, etc… are all part of this collaborative art form why not share and celebrate? <3
Thank you @KatMT <3
Last year many posters on CC went back and forth between the two forums. There were threads for acceptances and final decisions on both forums. I personally don’t mind mixing the two. The lists do get really long though
@MTheaterMom we have friends at Evansville and found out they do a musical every year. So
That is still pretty good for a straight acting program to be able to do a musical. Not all offer that. Or if a school has both a BFA acting and a BFA MT major, and you are redirected to acting you may not be allowed to audition for a musical unless an MT major. The kids we know like Evansville a lot. Congrats
We’ve been able to get all the names and acceptances in for the 4 years I have been following them…
Long lists are a good thing. Means our kids have lots of choices
Maybe I will post in the Theater forum with the link to the list in the MT forum. Really come to think of it there’s a master list of general acceptances on CC which would be WAY longer than anything theater related!
Even though most of her auditions are MT, D is doing a few just acting as well so it is nice to see both. I seem to remember a couple of years ago one of the posters here had a daughter who auditioned for MT and was accepted to several programs, but was offered Acting instead of MT at Carnegie Mellon and decided to go that route. I really liked reading about their decision making process.
Gosh, saying that reminds me how I have been following this forum since D was a freshman and now we are here, the ones in the fray getting ready for Unifieds. When I look back I remember thinking it was still so far away, yet here we are in the blink of an eye. It’s unreal!
@sopranomtmom, I’m the same way! My daughter is a junior, so we’ll be doing this next year. But I’ve been reading CC obsessively since her freshman year, and so many of the stories and posts stick out in my mind: the one you mentioned about accepting Acting at CMU although had auditioned for MT; the post about the daughter who was accepted at UArts but rejected at many of her other choices, and was feeling so upset about the rejections that she initially considered giving up acting(!), and the mother who could only stand by helplessly, but then the daughter bounced back and happily went to UArts; Hannah who was on the waitlist at CMU but was happy to go to DePaul and explained why in a great post (but then I think she transferred out later); KaMaMom’s nerve-wracking saga which, thankfully, had a happy ending; and of course, the AMAZING series of posts titled “The Process”!
I was just at a local county park for a photography exhibit and started talking to a woman by chance and then my D walked in and somehow the conversation turned to college and acting. Turns out her neighbor and very good friend’s daughter just finished up at Mason Gross. She was the first kid from our county in NJ to get in there in like 15 years. @nodaybut2daymom she was from your PA high school. She had a great experience from what I understand, especially in London. If my D gets accepted I have her email address and will get in touch with the girl and pummel her with questions! She, like my D, wanted out of state but ended up happy at Rutgers. And coincidentally this woman’s son is at U Minnesota and had good things to say about it there.
@Marg928 There are so many stories of kids changing their perspective on different schools and programs after going through the process. Often times their number one choice is not their top pick after spending time on campus or with faculty at auditions. It is important they keep an open mind…often times they end up at places they never expected to be!
