Regarding UNCG’s waitlist. We were told at the audition that they only offer maybe 1 or 2 over the number they plan to have for a class and then go to a waitlist if there are declines. If anyone declines their offer I would say you have a good chance at coming off of that waitlist.
Congratulations @soltheatre and @WonderfulJourney - it’s so nice to have people getting into their top-choice schools!!!
Happy for the UNCG Yesses and WL - hope that WL clears!!!
@closemama UNCG is most likely where she will be attending. We are going to wait to hear the rest of her results, but she loved the program when we visited and it is by far the most affordable school we have, as it is an in-state for us. I vaguely also remember that they said it is a very small waitlist, so I will have my fingers crossed for your D! :))
My son has not heard from Pace and has come to terms that it may not be good news. He only applied to three schools and said if those don’t work out, then GAP year for him. Point Park rolls out tomorrow and BOCO by 4/1. He seems cool with whatever the outcome is while I’m dying. I asked him why he took such a huge gamble and he said those were the schools he could see himself in and would be waisting time and money with other schools. At first, I thought I raised a very confident young man, now I just want to choke him for putting me through this. I, like you all, just want him to be happy. I want them to want him but, the odds may not be in our favor. I’m optimistic but realistic. Just venting.
My D got an email about 4:15 (Chicago time) that her DePaul portal was updated (Lighting Design). Now I wish we’d squeezed in that visit after her CMU interview at Chicago Unifieds, but she felt terrible so we canceled. Ugh.
Congrats on the Yeses!
D just got a voicemail concerning “Your potential future at Pace.” Should we read too much into that?? Damn kid won’t pick up her phone!
S asked Pace admissions about those calls, and he was told, “If the call was regarding the FTVC results, the caller would have called back/left a message, or may be waiting a few days to try again. I’m not personally sure whether or not the call was from FTVC, but all decisions will be out by the end of March, and admitted students will begin to receive acceptances during mid-March (this week).” Seems heartless to be doing spammy calls while kids are waiting to hear about their dreams coming true.
@StanfordAI2019 @ThespianMitera Unfortunately, Pace is notorious for constant phone calls/mail of “come to our school” that have nothing to do with the artistic side of things. It’s all admissions. They are known for spamming potential students. And it gets really, really old.
@stagedoormama - yeah, that why I was tempering expectations. It had been over two months since she’d gotten one of those calls. Shame on them if they decided to start them back up again this week
@ThespianMitera - to possibly throw more false hope into the mix. Turns out the caller called twice, but didn’t leave a VM…since my D doesn’t have hers set up. Geez
@khalijahsmom - I feel ya! Hoping for a yes from one of his “3” but that’s a low percentage wager. I had to laugh when you said you started out loving that he knew his own mind… been there! Hang tight, this is a roller coaster month.
Hoping that phone call is GOOD NEWS @StanfordAI2019 !!!
@StanfordAI2019 fingers crossed!
Anyone here audition for both Acting and MT at Point Park? MT notices went out today to acceptances, rejections and waitlist. My D did both but hasn’t heard anything and I’m wondering if it’s because acting decisions are separate. Has anyone heard about PP acting notifications?
@closemama Yes, my D got a Point Park BFA Acting accepted email this morning. Fingers crosses for your D!
@collegehopes127 Congrats! No clue why we haven’t heard anything, but I know at least 2 others haven’t either. I’m so confused at this point. ?
@closemama Trust me, I totally understand. That has happened with many schools for us, where my D thinks “everyone has heard” but her. The way they send them out seems to have no rhyme or reason that we can find!?
@closemama my D also got an acceptances to PP BFA Acting today. She only auditioned BFA Acting though. Fingers crossed for you!
For those who are tracking Pace, if you go to the pace portal site for admitted students (for all those who got admitted to Pace outside of the BFA) you can actually search for admitted 2024 students by BFA (Acting, Film/TV, MT, etc.). Pretty clear from the number of students that show up that they have likely notified everyone who got it, and they are just waiting to release the no’s.
When did she audition? @sarahsmom02
