I think it is a question of being treated with common courtesy, or the lack thereof, not a lack of wooing, that is the point here.
Most definitely @vvnstar ! We literally had a faculty member at another school’s meet and greet weekend in the fall (that we drove 9 hours to) abruptly answer questions bc they were so busy looking around and woo-ing another prospective student and introducing them to everyone. That was just rude. We will all encounter that-part of the profession and our kids have tough skins. Just indicated that they did not have 5 minutes when they clearly did. We were happy that they showed what they were about before accepting. Made our decision easier.
Many schools have “Accepted Student Days”. None worked out for us timing-wise and several were/are the same date. I don’t know how different those events would be from the visits where schools did their best to accommodate the blocks of time we requested.
@mtmomofone - I used the word “woo” on another thread - so that may be where it came from. 
We visited TCU on Friday. It was a wonderful day!!! We attended an accepted student presentation and tour for the University in the morning and then D went to lunch with MT students and attended a class with them. Then D and I met with the department chair for almost an hour and went to a rehearsal of their upcoming musical in the evening. While I was impressed with the overall University and MT program, I was blown away at the genuine kindness of the students. I would say that it was more welcoming than wooing. If D chooses this school, I am confident that she would be very happy. She was accepted to NYU-Tisch, so now we need to also consider that option as well. They are very different programs.
@SongnDanceMom I was accepted into MT at TCU as well! Could I PM you with some questions that might have been covered with you talked to Harry Parker?
@musicalkid98 feel free to PM. I will gladly share any information we received with you.
This lack of availability of faculty also applies (for next year’s applicants) during the year as well, when a mainstage show is on. We timed a very expensive (flights) visit to CCM - a top choice school - to coincide with one of their two yearly musicals. Had a nice set of classes lined up by admission for D to sit in on. A day before we got there, an email arrived cancelling the most important one - with Aubrey Berg, the head of the program - and it’s a program which is very “head of the program-oriented”. Due to his needing to attend to the musical. She was able to sit in on just one class.
So we saw the show, which was excellent and thus inspiring in terms of the program, but at the expense of really getting a good idea of what the coursework vibe is and how D would respond to it. She wound up on hold there, and didn’t really feel that if admitted, she would have had the knowledge to choose it over a couple of other choices which she felt more familiar with, and this after a 1.5 days on campus visit and tours of both the Conservatory and the “regular” campus. Yes, she saw the beautiful facilities and got a feeling (all positive ) for the students in the class she did attend, but In retrospect, I would sacrifice seeing a production, and schedule any visits accordingly (if the school is far away), because inevitably faculty are pulled away by their obligations to the show. Then again, we did have fun. But expensive fun!
I don’t think that is necessarily true. I know that recently Clay James, head of the MT program at Montclair, met with an admitted student just hours before a production of The Producers which HE was directing. I suppose there are always extenuating circumstances, but if you were traveling all that way they should have been able to find more classes for you to go to, and the head of the program could have given you a few minutes.
We’ve had about 4 students sit in on parts of my acting studio this month! My teacher usually invites them to participate and talks to them privately during our break or after classes. I know my roommate watched a senior acting class and the same thing happened. I was particularly impressed by one of the classes I watched when I visited, although I did not see a show. Acting training was paramount for me going in so when I saw the students working in MTP class it pretty much sealed the deal
Had a wonderful trip to Philly! (:
