| Eastman / Rochester - First, Eastman is part of Univ. of Rochester. You have to apply to both Eastman and whatever other school you want at UR. Admission to either is completely independent from the other. You could get accepted to one or the other, neither, or both. If you are accepted at Eastman, you can apply at any time for admission to one of the other schools at UR, so you don't have to apply for both at the same time.
At Rice, the Shepard School is more integrated into the rest of Rice. However, you still need to apply to both the music school and the University. It is possible to be accepted by the music school but denied admission by the University. If you apply as a music student you must be accepted to both Shepard and the University to attend. |
