I heard some schools waive application fee if you submit application by November 1st.
True?
CCM waived the application fee if you submitted the 1st week of August. If I remember correctly, Pace & Rider waived the application fee because we toured their campus, while Montclair did not. We had to pay for the rest.
Syracuse said they hope to have pre-screen results by late December.

It is a good idea to apply by tomorrow, November 1st, to as many schools as possible. Then our kids can focus on school and practice for auditions!
Also has anyone heard back from Carnegie Mellon about prescreens?
When did you submit?
For Musical Theater BFA, do the schools give information how many applicants they invite for audition?
Some will, some won’t. If you are invited for an audition, when you sign up for your own, you can get a sense by counting the available audition slots on the schedule, with the understanding that some schools may have more slots than the number of people they invite for scheduling flexibility.
your daughter passed CMU prescreen but not Pace? Isn’t CMU MT program higher ranked than Pace?
This process is full of all sorts of weird and unpredictable results. Why it’s good to have a really well rounded list because you just never know!

Exactly ! Don’t expect any of it to make any logical sense!
Anyone here anxiously waiting for Michigan Musical Theater Test Results this Friday November 15th? I am!
Yes! So anxious!
My daughter has received prescreen passes from:
Elon (auditioned already!)
UMiami (auditioned already!)
Emerson
Point Park
Rider
Indiana
Texas State
Montclair
Shenandoah
Temple
Pace
She’s waiting on UMich, CCM, BoCo, Syracuse, and CMU.
The waiting is hard!
Best wishes to all. It’s definitely a marathon- lots of difficult waiting at each stage- especially after auditions. Best to try to distract yourself with the other things going on in your life, if you can. I know it’s easier said than done.
Break a leg!
I read that Michigan gets about 1400 applicants for Musical Theater major. They invite about 600-650 for auditions for about 20 to 22 slots. That is a bit less than 2% of all applicants and about 3% of all that auditioned.
That is ridiculously low percentage even compared to Harvard or Julliard!
So, no matter how talented your kid, it is best not to count on getting into Michigan.

Actually I recall the head of Michigan MT in the past saying it was less than 1%. It’s an extreme reach, like a lottery ticket, for anyone no matter how talented.
1% is horrible. But if you don’t apply it is0%!
On Oct. 28th
mine came nov 6! best of luck!
You got prescreen result on Nov 6TH? what school?
