My dd asked me to make a phone call in the end as she had sent 3 further emails and had no reply.
I rang on Wednesday and was advised that someone would get back to me.
Rang again today and was advised the same.
No one has called.
I explained that we would just like confirmation that they were able to view her tapes as there had been an issue with the first submission. I also explained that she had the interview on Feb 22nd.
I just think it’s a really poor show.

Oh wow, how frustrating for you all. Especially when you know that offers are going out. Is this your DD's first choice? Fingers crossed they get back to you next week. We are in a similar position with Arts Ed, we haven't heard from her submission in February.

It’s her first choice but probably unlikely in reality due to funding. She has been put off from Laine now due to this dreadful communication.
She has now accepted degree at Urdang and very pleased to be going there.
So really at this stage, she just wants to know if she gets an offer or not.
I just think that she put her all into the audition tape and it deserves acknowledgement.

I know that these colleges are inundated with applications / phone calls etc but I find this so disrespectful.
My dc received several offers last year and she chose the college that she not only got the best vibe off but also treated her fairly and respectfully in all her communications with them .
I fear that auditions are just a money making exercise for many colleges and one would wonder if they even view half the videos that are sent in to them.
Personally , I wouldn’t consider sending my dd to a college that ignored emails and phone calls because that’s likely to be the same treatment she will get as a student

This was for straight acting but I've no reason to believe that MT would be different.

Certainly in the early days some of daughter's self tapes came back so swiftly with a rejection, I started thinking they must have switched it on decided they didn't like her hair colour/accent or whatever and straight away tossed it into the No pile. Daughter is sorted now, with a couple of offers and a couple of reserves but I think if auditions had been in person she'd have got other outcomes. Each time she did an online audition where she got to speak to someone she got far further than just sending in a self tape.

I saw Fame and the Drowsy Chaperone and will be watching Bring it on this weekend. The standard is West End ready and the streaming works really well but is most effective on a large screen. My DD is going there in September on the AVT. They will no doubt cross paths in the cafe
