<p>I got an email about a week ago from CMU admissions people saying that although they knew I had auditioned for the school of drama, they had no record of my application, urging me to please mail it in as soon as possible, and that it was ok that it was past the deadline…This scared me, since I had sent the application in back in October, to audition at their Nov 11th date. After communicating with them more directly, it became clear that they just had a computer mix up and couldn’t find it, but they DO have my application now and are going to review it soon.
I know that at all the info sessions I’ve attended at CMU Drama they have said that they audition people first, make a list of who they are interested in, and usually check applications of those people…I was wondering if this could mean anything positive, since they were checking my application and wanted to make sure I had all my information in??? I’m probably just reading into things, because I have been waiting and stressing out about this school since November–when I auditioned–but does anybody know if this could possible mean anything, or if it is true that they review their applications after they choose the people they’re considering???</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s safe to read into anything, but I remember hearing at the November auditions, too, that the Drama Dept calls for files they are interested in and don’t really notice if anything is missing until that time. So, I would be wondering the same thing you are - and it doesn’t hurt to have a little hope, huh???</p>
<p>For future reference, show up in the clothes you plan to act and sing in. They will tell you if you are dancing first or not. They will give you time to change if necessary.
Good luck!</p>
