Class of 2023 MT Artistic Acceptance Notifications: How/When/Where

D just got a no from Hartt.

@karamiles - us too. NEXT!!! :smiley:

No’s for both twins from Montclair State. As @MTmama42 would say - NEXT!!! :smiley:

@Karamiles so sorry for your D, we got the no awhile ago. hugs!

Hi, I’m new here and wow do I wish I’d found this community sooner - I really appreciate reading about everyone’s experiences! My D also got a no from Hartt (and Emerson) the other day - such a bummer but as noted above, NEXT!!?

Son just got a yes call from Webster (MT)!!

@Kristiern1 Yay! Congrats on Webster!

If anyone is waiting Muhlenberg has updated the portal with decision letters. S was a yes, really made me feel how long this process has been it was the first audition the second week of September.

@TheatreMomKatie Welcome to the family! I can honestly say that you will never meet a kinder, more supportive group of people than the ones here. Sorry about the rejection. But in addition to “Next,” I like to say “Dead to me” or just “Dead”! ?

Thank you so much @“boola boola”! ? So far, my D has 2 BFA Acting yeses so we’re grateful for those options but for MT it’s been 2 no’s so far. Praying for good results for all these kids! ?

@MTMom624 Congrats!!! My D was accepted to Muhlenberg as well. Big price tag, even with the scholarship :slight_smile: Does anyone know if they ever budge on Scholarship amounts?

Same for us, huge scholarship yet still a crazy price tag. Thankfully that was a safety in case she didn’t get into any BFA programs but like, if that had happened we would have been taking out some serious loans. I can not believe one year of undergrad at a college in the middle of nowhere can be $70K. I get why NYU is, but Allentown, PA?!

@tatteredandfriendly I went with my S to Five Towns College for Open House and we got there late, and ended up having an entire info session with the Head of the Program and the Technical Director to ourselves. I was a BA - Acting major in college (at SUNY - New Paltz) so I grilled them on everything from acting method to showcases, performance opportunities and exposure to the industry. He was very helpful and willing to talk to me at length about the program, and we left feeling really good about it. My S did not end up auditioning, because he didn’t really feel the campus. He prefers more of an urban setting, and an easier way to get home on mass transit to NJ - but I think the program is really solid.

@Divamamacita Wow you have twins going through the MT Audition process! Your drama mama of all time. I can’t imagine all this cray cray times two. Extra good vibes for yeses sending your way! Did Montclair send the Class of 2023 the consolation socks this year? Big running joke last year.

Did Webster call or email to let you know? @Kristiern1

I would just like to remind all that the point of this thread on CC was to share information and be a supportive community which it has. I have to say I was a little taken aback by the Muhlenberg comment. My D also got in there and we were very happy about it. She has also gotten into some BFA programs. Until we make the final decision about where she is going, I would rather not read negative comments about any of these programs. Everyone here has been happy for the acceptances and supportive for the rejections. Muhlenberg is expensive, it is not a BFA, and geographically not for everyone. However, I know a lot of the other schools are expensive and in places that are not for everyone either! I congratulate all on their acceptances and wish the best for those that are still waiting.

@KKCKMC re: Webster, It was a phone call.

@Brecktwins19 - everyone has a different perspective on schools, I don’t think anything objectionable was said about Muhlenberg.

@Kristiern1 - congrats to your S! What a great acceptance!

@TheatreMomKatie - the CC board can be addicting, maybe it’s just as well you found it late. :wink: I am a freshman MT mom and I swear after this season winds down I will find something more constructive to do with my spare time
 :smiley:

Has any S or D’s still not heard anything from Elon? It is crickets for my D and she is starting to wonder
Should she just keep waiting as we know emails and phone calls have happened


@Nkttsmom, has she checked the Elon portal too? You may want a few days but I, personally, would have no trouble calling them and asking. Though, it’s probably best to have her do it. Good luck!!!
