OMG @theaterlove3 - your D is such a sport. I am so sorry you went all that way for nothing. Hoping those WLs come through or the “small school” turns out to be a fabulous fit.
Why do we suddenly all have mortarboards as default user pictures? Is it just me seeing that? I don’t know why but it’s disconcerting.
@theaterlove3 ugh…so sorry to hear that! Hugs…
I see them too @Camom13!
@theaterlove3 - So sorry to hear that! You did your due diligence and did everything you could! Best a luck with wherever she ends up! She will be great!
Okay - I am NOT crazy. Thanks, @MTMOM17 - after this year, I just can’t tell for sure… 
@CaMom13 - on the top of the page it shows that they are updating the site and you can click the link to all the changes but one of them seems to be the default picture. You can still upload your own picture if you want.
@theaterlove3 - I am so so sorry! I am so bummed to hear this. I just know something better is ahead for your D. Enjoy every second of her show! Small school can mean small distractions- so it could be a great place to train. Hoping you get WL movement too. Keep us posted!
@theaterlove3 Ugh Add me to the list to say I’m sorry. I’m so annoyed for you that they didn’t tell you before you went there.
Darn! I’m so sorry you drove all that way for a rejection. 
They really should have told you over the phone on Friday, since it was so late. Sending good vibes for the wait list echools!
Wait do I still have my profile photo?
Happy Day-Before-Decision Day, Everyone!
Just one request: If you haven’t already done so, can you please add your name to the “Decision Day - Final Decisions by college only” thread. I want to tally where everyone ended up! Thank you!
Ugh @theaterlove3 I am so sorry for the way things turned out. I would send an email to your admissions contact there and just tell them how things went down. They really should have told you over the phone when you indicated that you were trying to visit. Someone really dropped the ball and I am sure that is not what they wanted to have happen.
@FourStars: If it is starfish, then yes!
@FourStars It’s kind of magical and you do!
Random question (which will likely lead to some comical and interesting responses), prompted by me getting ready to post my d’s decision on social media tomorrow. Have any of y’all had to deal with the “OMG, that’s such an expensive school” comments, regarding your kid’s (perceived) tuition cost for an MT degree? I say perceived because only we know what our tuition package truly is, but everyone thinks they know because they can google the college and see the tuition. My friend already did this and at least her reply was “I hope they’re giving her some $$” (her d is a HS senior as well). I remember two years ago, doing this for some friends’ kids’ acceptances, and thinking "damn, they are paying a LOT of money for college!
Anybody have (or had) any witty replies? I can just lie and say she got a full ride :))
I would just say “We’re fortunate that we saved enough and she/he got enough aid to make it affordable.” End of story. It’s really none of anyone’s business. Although I do admit I get a little queasy when I read about kids going into huge debt for MT degrees. Ultimately, however, it’s the family’s decision how to handle paying for college, no matter the major.
Regarding tuition- I just say “yep”. It’s none of their business. I’ve said We robbed a bank, we won the lottery, or I just say yes, it’s expensive and leave it at that.
Seriously, people are commenting on the cost of YOUR kid’s tuition? Tell them you’re taking donations, lol. In our case we would have gotten zero from any state school and laying out a similar amount for her to study what? Sociology, history? At least our kids know what they want and have a real passion for something. My first kid went to a school that cost more and left after a year. Those people sound really jealous.
@BeBop1 you hit the nail on the head! If my S didn’t find passion in acting the last two years he would have just applied for business or communications somewhere. And then I would have hoped and prayed he would stay there! He is not motivated with those types of classes. He WILL get up for rehearsals and he has never missed one yet! So…in order for him to stay in college it was the best decision for us to have him major in something he loves. Better chance of him actually graduating in 4 years.
