So sorry @Trish0118 . I know exactly how you feel. No from a favorite program is so hard.
I wish we could just fast forward and skip the next few weeks so we at least know one way or the other. Good or bad, we’ll get through it, but the wait is torture!
Thank you all. @CTDramaMom will be in same boat - playing lead in HS show next week amongst all the rejection. I hope we get a yes before then but if not I will admire my D resilience through this process - I’m glad your D loves where she attends and it all worked out for her after all - praying for same.
Sorry for all the rejections. May I ask what schools these are for? We have crickets here and curious which schools are notifying now. Most of the schools D applied to indicated after April 1 but that seems so late, especially compared to what I am reading on here.
@collegemom2000 penn through portal
Same experience last night when portal updated. That one really stung. 
So sorry @Trish0118 This is just so much harder than anything most of us ever imagined. Once the auditions are done, there is no control over any of it anymore. The anxiety of waiting only to get bad news is beyond humbling. Stay strong and love your D!!! I have been starting to have this analogy. This is kind of like natural childbirth. Lots of prep and planning only to receive a lot of excruciating pain. But in the end, there will be a reward, even though it may be hard to see now. And, hopefully like natural childbirth, the memories of the pain will die quickly!!! Best of luck and hang in there!
SO sorry @Trish0118 that is a terrible feeling but things WILL get better. This too shall pass. (I keep telling myself that as I pull more hair from my head.)
@Trish0118 I’m right there with you, and all the rest of you, stalking the mail man, hitting refresh on my PC 100X times a day, and hoping for good news.
When this is over, I propose we all meet for a glass of wine. We will certainty deserve it!
You ladies are awesome! So glad I have a place to share my worries and sorrows - thank you
Sorry @Trish0118 I am hoping an even better program will be coming for her soon
@fancytheatrekid - That group is supposed to be just for the kids for a reason. I know the members will be really not pleased when they find out there is a mom lurking on their closed group… Trust the kids enough to have some private space during this crazy time. They need the support of their peers and not people pretending to be their peers. IMHO.
@stagedoormama - I agree. @fancytheatrekid - I am sure you have the best of intentions, but it doesn’t seem a good plan
S got accepted to Wagner! Scholarship info was also included. Letter dated 3/1, posted 3/5, we live pretty close by.
I know it’s not much comfort when y’all are waiting on good news. Feeling very blessed having a boy in this process.
Good vibes out to all for very good news soon!
Congrats @#booknerdmom!
Yay @#booknerdmom do you mind me asking - did he get a call then the letter or just the letter no call? Thank you!!! And congrats!!!
@#booknerdmom congratulations! There is nothing wrong with sharing your joy. We’re all in this together. Even those with early rejections always end up in a nice program. Many of the schools have yet to release their decisions. There is still time for those who have experienced the bad stuff first and congrats on the scholarship! Thats an extra bonus
@stagedoormama I completely agree. This process is tough on them, it’s good that they have their own space 
@frontrowmama - yes. It is like natural child birth. I had to go through that (for my S who is going through this process) when the meds didn’t work for me. There were LOTS of curse words that day (surprised my H because I never curse). Can’t wait until it’s over.
@Fergie978 Can you say what school that was that they visited and got off the wait list last year?
@savedrama4momma He did not get a call from Wagner (that I know of), big envelope came today.
