@CentralOHmomof4 I thought I had commented before. We were at CCM on the 21st but have not heard anything. A friend of my daughters got an acceptance on Monday the 23
at FSU today for acting and they had 7 callbacks, which didn’t include us so our journey ended there. They take only 8 students in their freshmen class! First solid rejection, my D handled it well. Looking forward to next week in Chicago!
@kaf011 I was wondering how many they took. So four boys and four girls? That’s the smallest class I’ve heard of of all the schools. It’s interesting that at the NYC Unified audition they did not have planned callbacks.
Wow, @kaf011 those are some slim odds! Glad that your D took it well. We are flying down to FL this afternoon-my D has her MT audition tomorrow. Break Legs in Chicago!
@CentralOHmomof4 @Mtmomkbh - my S is only a junior, but one of his highschool best friends (also a guy) auditioned last weekend, and he has received an email stating he’s on the priority wait list - maybe stated something about “top 5%”, but I’m not sure that was the wording. Hope that helps.
She checked her email… denied. Onward and upward!
I don’t feel too great about a program that only takes 8…I wonder why they feel the need to keep the class so small. Is that for MT? Do you know how many they take for acting?
There were/are a couple schools that only wanted 8 MT’s from my recollection last year. Did think it was a bit small- but guess they have their reasons…
Consortium schools are in NYC this weekend…anyone auditioning?
Maybe they only want 8 this year because they had a higher acceptance rate previously so they’re balancing things out?
@marg928 this was for acting; not sure about MT
@kaf011 my D also auditioned for acting…wow I won’t get my hopes up for that one!
My D is auditioning today for Rutgers, Purchase and UNCSA!
@marg928 glad she is feeling better! BAL!
Great info session for UNCSA! Sounds grueling but amesome!
Going to Webster this coming weekend. Anyone have experience there and maybe willing to share what to expect?
@momtojoss - we will be there too! We visited Webster last year and my S did the Webster/MUNY intensive this past summer. The faculty at Webster are brilliant, real, intense people. Don’t know what to expect at auditions, but good luck! See you this weekend!
Anyone who can tell me a little bit about their experience after CCM auditions? did faculty ask questions, did they seem engaged?
@Barrie08 okay! We visited this fall and had a good meeting but it was pouring down rain so they didn’t take us on the tour. Just look for the oldest parents in the room. That will be me and my white haired hubby. My name is Cynthia! Say hi!!
@owensfolks Just a head’s up… the drive from Elon to Cullowee will probably take you more than 3 1/2 hours…
The mountain roads can be a bit slow going on the hills that time of night… lots of semi’s can really slow things down.
If you want to break it up… Black Mountain or Asheville would be no more than 3 hours and then the drive to Cullowee would be an hour in the morning.
I just did the Elon to Asheville on Monday.
