Yesterday I received my decision letter from MMC: Waitlisted. But I thought I’d share with CCers what the letter told me about the numbers:


One year ago, in the previous admission year 2009, MMC Theater Department auditioned and/or interviewed 1000 prospective BFA and/or BA candidates. They do not say how many they offered admission to, but they enrolled 44 first-years and 16 upperclassmen transfers into the BA with Performance Concentration. They do not say anything about the BFA group, which is odd because I auditioned for that.
As of Feb. 24, 2010 (the date of my letter) they’d auditoned and/or interviewed 860 and had another 300 to go. Imagine that-- they’re still auditioning! They expect to enroll a number “similar” to last year’s. Again, that’s BA Performance (Acting), with no mention of BFA.
In the distant past, people have made it off the waitlist to enroll; and if that does occur, it’s between May 15 and June 15. But no one has made it off the waitlist in the recent past because “a majority of those admitted do enroll.”


Overall, I found the MMC experience to be very professional, and I’m glad to have auditioned for them.
