Class of 2022 (the journey); sharing, venting, discussing

@muttsandMT My daughter also get sick quite easily and lost her voice before Chicago Unifieds. We were actually able to re-schedule several auditions there, and then again a couple weeks later at an on-campus audition when she got sick AGAIN. Everyone was very nice, but that being said, there is no guarantee that they will have other slots available.

Wright State. Thanks!

@mom4MTsoprano I’m PMing you about Viterbo.

@Fergie978 Trying to figure out how CC posting works here! she is waitlisted at Wright State, which she loved. Also at Point Park which I know is a great program but she’s not as interested there. Accepted at Viterbo.

@TNMTDAD If you have a child at Viterbo, would you be willing to let me know how you like the program? Thanks!!

My D, who was WL at Ball State received a redirection email to Theater Studies and an invitation to apply second semester, if I’m reading it correctly?

She’s not interested because she made her decision last weekend, but I thought I’d share the info in case anyone else is waiting to hear from them. :slight_smile:

@actorparent1 and @MTMOM17 - he is thrilled. I appreciate all the support and congrats!

@sopranomtmom The kids completely opened their arms to him. He sat in on 3 classes and fell in love. What a special place and great opportunity. I look forward to meeting all of the MT kids/parents over the next four years.

Ok who are my Hartt Parents? We most likely will be depositing this weekend. Would love to talk to some!

@SAS0792 Hartt mom of freshman daughter here. Would be happy to answer questions. I’ll send you a PM.

@gingersnap97 has a Jr. daughter there and is a wealth of info. She helped me a great deal last year!

@SAS0792 D is finishing her sophomore year at Hartt. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Financial aid question: D wants to go ahead and commit to her school by making a deposit, but I am still working with Financial Aid on getting more grant money. I am worried if we deposit then they will have no incentive to work with us on the financial aid. Or does it matter?

@collegemom2000, I’d wait til you get word on the grant money. You still have two weeks to put in the deposit.

I feel like I am negotiating in the same way we negotiated for my house here. So, when the school comes back and gives you a couple thousand more, and that is still not enough, should you stop there and deal with that? Or should you continue to see if you can get closer to where you want your net to be? Would that hurt us?

@SAS0792 mom of a freshman D at Hartt here!

@SAS0792 Mom of a freshman S at Hartt. <3

We toured campuses last week, talked to numerous parents and students over the course of this past month. My daughter made her final decision last night! I can’t believe we are past this milestone! Will post in Final Decision thread later.

CONGRATS @loribelle !!! I can’t wait to read all about your journey and decision!

Wonderful @loribelle! I look forward to that day!

Congrats @loribelle! Can’t wait to read all about your journey!

Any parents of students at Webster or students themselves who would be willing to share thoughts about the program, insights etc either here or in a pm I would greatly appreciate it. We will be visiting next weekend and are gathering info. Thanks.
