IIRC Berklee has 1200 guitarists (by far its most popular principal instrument), 900 vocalists and then it trickles down from there. I believe drummers are third, bassists fourth and so on.
It has definitely gotten more selective than it was two years ago (approximately a 35 percent acceptance rate).
First wave of acceptance letters for the EA applicants will come out this Thursday.
From what I understand, they do not defer or wait list. You're either in or out (like "Project Runway"). If they feel you are good enough, you're in. Once the class fills up with committed students, any subsequent applicants who fit the bill will be accepted, if they wish, for January term or whenever the next openings are. I think this is where EA applicants have an advantage, though I don't think that EA applicants per se are given more weigh than RD applicants. |
