<p>Hi… my daughter was on the “priority waitlist” 4 years ago for musical theatre. They sent her a form which was a contract to say that if after the 5 people made their decisions and one of them did not accept, she would take their place. She signed it because she thought CM might have been the stronger MT program even though she really wanted to go to NYU because NY was always her dream. She was instructed to call CM on a certain day to find out if she was accepted. When she called they told her that all 5 people accepted and therefore, since she was the next in line (6th) she was not going to be able to be accepted. She was actually happy to have gone to NYU in the end. I’m not sure if Acting does it the same as Musical Theatre, and again this was 4 years ago. Good Luck but there are many good schools!</p>
