<p>My D had her MT audition today . . . . AND SHE GOT A CALL BACK!!! She was thrilled, to say the least!!! There were approximately 40-45 students auditioning for MT, 19 of which were called back.</p>
<p>What a looooooooooooooong day! She finished up at 3:30pm, just in time for us to get to the airport and catch a 5:25pm flight back to NC.</p>
<p>All-in-all, today was a great day! To God be the GLORY!</p>
<p>Hi,robinsnipesperry – Glad to hear that your D got a call-back. Hope everything goes well. (You might recall that my S also got a call-back…unfortunately he also received his first rejection letter from UArts). As I’ve read the replies from other parents I know that this isn’t uncommon. As we told our S – it just wasn’t meant to be so do your best at all of your Auditions and the “right” fit will come! I give all of our children credit for wanting their passion enough to endure the let-downs. Our S took it better than us (his parents!) Best of luck to all!</p>
<p>Maril – you are absolutely correct - the children tend to handle it a little better than the parents!!! When my D received her rejection letter from NYU Steinhardt, she was DEVASTATED!!! However, when she was over it (about a week later), I was still heartbroken . . . but I NEVER let her see me sweat/cry. I, too, firmly believe that when God closes one door, it’s because He has something better in store for you! The only fight we have is the FIGHT OF FAITH! :O) I’ll certainly keep you and your S in my prayers.</p>
<p>robin - as NMR mentioned (so sorry I missed your question)) my D is a freshman at Tisch; having gone through this process last year however, I can still remember how good it felt to receive “happy news”. </p>
<p>You are so right, as parents we tend to feel things for our children (kind of like when they have an ache or pain, we feel it tri-fold), but things do happen for a reason, and at the end of this seemingly never ending journey, everything will turn out ok!</p>
<p>MTgrlsmom – question for you: Was your D told that if she wanted to pursue MT she should apply to Tisch? I ask because my D was told to apply to Steinhardt if she wanted to study MT.</p>
