[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vocal department applicant mom here — and we are sitting on pins and needles.  Rumours were that there were only eight or ten slots for that program . . . How can that even happen?  I DID count the day we did first call backs (half of alphabet in that applicant pool) and there were maybe 24 or so students.  The second call back, maybe half of that . . .

Any idea on when Duke will post tomorrow?

How many kids have it in them to apply a second time if they do not get in the first . . . ?  And if it is THIS hard to get into as a freshman, what could you possible do that whole year at a public school to make one’s self a good applicant for sophomore year? Eek!

Golly but this is SOOO hard.  God save us ALL![/quote]

Right there with you!! Very hard indeed and there is absolutely NOTHING we can do but wait! SMH 
I have heard that sometimes they post the night before. I don't know the validity of that but I can say that I understand your anxiousness with all the questions that you asked. I asked my kid what they would do if they didn't get in and at first they said, cry until they had no more tears and then they said "if at first you don't suceed try try again." But like you asked, how many usually have that in them. This was no walk in the park by any means for any student that auditioned. And to go through this again would be... WOW! I feel so helpless so I too have sat on the pins and needles you are referring to. Sending positive vibes your way. Good luck to your kid![/quote]
