Hey Tyler, thanks for the reply. Yeah I've hear about the June 18th reply last year as well. I actually gave LAMDA a call and they said that you may find out even a few weeks (or even days!) before the course starts. As an international applicant (from Australia) I don't think that leaving it that late will be possible for me, as I would need time to get a student visa organised.
But also, I have been offered a place at the Actors Studio for their MFA in New York. I'm honestly still pretty torn between LAMDA and AS, but I I feel like I'm holding out for LAMDA a bit...
In any case, I can't wait this long for LAMDA because if I'm not going to end up going to LAMDA I need to start getting my visa and living arrangements sorted for the Actors Studio (and being in America, the visa process can take a while).
Just not really sure what I should be doing. I'm tempted to contact LAMDA and say to them; I know you can't tell me exactly where I am on the shortlist, but if you feel that, given where I am on the shortlist, the chances of my getting in are basically non-existent, then I can go and get ready for Actors Studio. It would be awful if I waited all this time, lost the opportunity to go to Actors Studio AND ended up not getting into LAMDA...
