| Regarding Vanbluff's Peabody comments, Peabody used to say on their website (maybe still does) that following audition and acceptance by the music faculty, admission was assured as long as grades and test scores met Peabody's standards. If a student was wanted by the music faculty, but had grades or scores lower than the minimum, the grades/scores would be reviewed by an academic dean before a final decision was made.
We know a student whose SAT was quite low - below Peabody's stated minimum, but grades and high school course work fine. He was offered admission. I assume they went through the stated process and the complete academic picture of the student was found acceptable. |
