@Jaycee17 Sorry to hear for you or your kid. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. (Solomon/Proverbs 13:12). And, some words of inspiration from Emily Dickinson: “Hope” is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all. And sweetest in the Gale is heard and sore must be the storm That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm. I’ve heard it in the chillest land and on the strangest sea, Yet never in extremity, It asked a crumb of me."
It’s a yes here for Roosevelt but my daughters did not say MTD so that has her a bit concerned
I honestly can’t say exactly what the email said. D is away on Spring Break and is just feeding me little tidbits of this email or that…but I know she specifically said MTD because we had the conversation about what that means MT wise.
In other news…she just sent me a screaming text that she and a friend just won the Mean Girls lottery for tonight!! SO excited for her!
Yay @emdcollege !! Same here! Good news but it will be problem if they can’t take the better dance classes… they said last summer they needed dancers???
Thanks @EastchesterMom !
CCPA has a relationship with Lou Conti Studios, so anyone (even actors) can take additional dance if they have free electives. Also I believe the dance is leveled, so your kid should be in a class that challenges him/her.
Got in! BFA Acting, so excited. Good luck to everyone as we await the other institutes answers!!
@fairlyoddmom Congrats to your D on the Mean Girls Lottery. Winning the Broadway Lotteries is what I live for when we go to NYC! Hope she is having fun and forgetting about all this March madness!
It’s a yes for my D, MT at Roosevelt!
Congrats all on those acceptances today!!
And yes @Fergie978 its a very welcome distraction! Though she has great options, getting another rejection earlier this week was rough. Good news today helps. She’s running around the city with a MT friend of hers from BTP and they’re are in hog heaven!
Praying for all of those that are still struggling. I know its hard to read all of the good news. I pray some comes your way soon.
Is the Emerson portal the one that has the list of all the application checklist info.
Here is portal link for Emerson https://admissions.emerson.edu/account/login?r=https%3a%2f%2fadmissions.emerson.edu%2fapply%2fstatus
Well I guess Montclair it is. I do not see anything on the Emerson portal.
@emdcollege ours does not either and we have a heavy dance background. I compared the 2 tracks and they get dance with both, so that is good.
Congrats to everyone who received good news today! and best wishes for those still waiting… My D was devastated by not getting into her top choices (along with a dozen others! haha) but I realize, more than she does, how LUCKY she is to have any options at all! I think this entire process is to weed out the kids who don’t have the heart to persevere no matter how many times they are knocked down. It takes a true passion for theatre and a relentless drive to get through this, and it is probably just a taste of what’s to come!
Hey all! I work in the CCPA Admissions Office. Congrats to everyone on their acceptances! If you applied for MTD, it’s very likely you were admitted to that program and it was just a glitch in the system not specifying the dance concentration. We didn’t make any program re-assignments without gauging the student’s interest first via email. So if you applied for MTD and didn’t get an email asking if you wanted to be considered for regular MT, you were very likely admitted to MTD. I’m going to send a clarification email likely tonight or tomorrow morning, but I wanted to clear up any confusion on here too! Congrats again!
@NJMOM24 when and how did you about Montclair? We were told to try there because it is such a good program and included a good dance option - especially for the money! We auditioned at Unifieds and my D forgot to put her phone on airplane mode so a call (from me!) interupted her song so it didn’t go so well #-o but we haven’t gotten any notification.
@TBurrus it is confusing - strong dance here too - I know they all take dance but the MTD take more dance - although my daughter needs the acting classes more so it may be a good thing to make sure she gets that - as long as the dance classes she is in are challenging. We all didn’t pay for 12 years of dance classes to start over $-) LOL
Congrats to all the CCPA acceptances! My daughter is a sophomore MTD and LOVES the program especially Jane Lanier. She just performed in VIVID in the beautiful Auditorium theater. Happy to answer any questions.
Hi there! Please read my above post! She’s likely admitted to MTD and the lack of specification was a glitch in our system! Congrats on her acceptance!
