My daughter's acceptance came from musicadm (music admissions) and actually ended up in her spam folder for almost a week before we found it. Quote Link to post
2busy Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 thanks Marzipandreams, Balletmom729 and MMPMom for the info. Email finally came today- dd got waitlist, sigh! The email says they said they had an exceptionally high number of applicants, not surprising in this crazy year for ballet. Wonder if anyone ever turns down IU? guess not too surprised about wait list, as acceptances and denials had already gone out, it was becoming nail biting to still be wondering. thanks for being 'understanding' peers, there aren't a lot of parents out there who 'get' what we're going through as ballet parents! 🙂 Quote Link to post
balletgem Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Do not give up hope yet, there are indeed people who turn down IU because of others choices, either a different University program or a Trainee or second company offer. Quote Link to post
Marzipandreams Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 My d still wants to attend I.U. especially after our tour last week. We are appealing the financial aid decision to see if we can get it within our range! Quote Link to post
Fouronlychildren Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Ooo, did you review her/your IU visit here? I enjoyed reading your recent review of another college visit. It’s so helpful to hear of others’ experiences. Thanks in advance for any info you can share. Quote Link to post
Marzipandreams Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Review of Indiana University: Note: We could not get in on a campus tour. (They were full.) We walked around both day and night and felt really safe. We read all the signs and looked at our google maps for help. 1. Overall impression of campus: huge, beautiful, gorgeous buildings, really, really welcoming students and faculty. 2. Fantastic college town!! Loved it! Stayed at Graduate Bloomington which is only three blocks to campus. We found lots of good restaurants and charming shops etc. We were able to easily eat affordably and walk everywhere. We never used our car once we got there! 3. Sarah Wroth, head of ballet dpt., spent over an hour with us, talking to us outside the MAC, and we did get a peak of the theatre there. We could not tour the classrooms and studios. 4. All of the Jacobs School of Music buildings are near each other which makes it easy for students to get around. 5. We heard they are grouping required freshman classes adjacent to each other so student get to know each other and don't have to walk far. Great school!! Great campus!! Very big, but not intimidating!
