Congratulations! Which one?

We received a rejection from VA sat night at 8:35 pm to the extent that helps. DC got into a second discipline, so she is very happy about that.

Did you try junk mail? I found some DESA Admissions emails in mine…


I am one of the PPs who heard nothing, and no, there is nothing in junk mail.

Us too. Where did the email come from?


The email came from acceptd


Well, we didn’t get anything. And so I sent an email to Savannah Overton Williams, who previous standardized emails re auditions, etc, emphasized should be the ONLY person you directed inquiries to re application status (emphasis in original) and, drumroll, yesterday was her last day at DESA. So that is obnoxious.


Would recommend you message through Acceptd on the same VA thread as your audition notices.

But, if helpful, the email did include the following: If you are interested in pursuing another course of artistic expression at Duke Ellington, we still have spaces available in the following departments: Dance, Instrumental Music (oboe, flute, bassoon, tuba, strings), Theatre, and Vocal Music.


Would love to hear if students who got a rejection letter yesterday in any of these disciplines also received this same message about spaces available…

I really don’t understand how they could not find “qualified” students for those highly competitive programs (dance, instrumental, theatre, and vocal) when all had many, many, many students audition, and NOW think they will find them after April?

I’m so sorry for your DC. This is very helpful info (thanks for sharing) and also depressing since my DC got cut in earlier rounds from one of those disciplines…. Did they suggest applying post lottery?


I’m sorry to hear about the earlier cut. This is a very strange process and seems disorganized to me. But, I’m new to the art school world, so maybe it is normal.

Yes, the rest of the email stated: “Please note that you will have to apply through our Post Lottery Round (which begins in April) and can find more information about that here.”
