BassDad,

When does the list go up for Final Decisions? And thank you for all that you do!

BassDad

Congratulations to moniquevs and son. Are all of these for performance majors?

nyboundsoprano, I will start posting final decisions lists once we have a reasonable number of them We only have ten or so to date, but I expect that number will start to grow quickly in the next week or two.

SJTH

Hey, Bassdad--Son received $10,000/year merit scholarship at Loyola Marymount U for Recording Arts (you have the acceptance listed already). And, happily, that's where he's going!

And this is my final boy, so you't have the SJTH fam to kick around anymore....(though of course you can't get rid of me THAT easily

Final Acceptance/Denial List

Accepted: OKCU, Belmont, Boston University, Boston Conservatory, New England Conservatory

Denied: Eastman (truly the shocker given prior feedback) and made it to live Juilliard auditions, but was not accepted.

Along the way withdrew a couple of applications and is still waiting to hear from Peabody, but feels all signs point to Boston at this point.

Strong financial packages at all, but when you are talking 40-55 thousand for school, it still leaves a nice bill to figure out!

viacap

Son was accepted at Berklee College of Music and The New School for Jazz as a jazz performance major on piano.

Hi my daughter received a scholarship offer for $11,200 at Roosevelt College of Performing Arts Chicago. Congratulations to everyone posting!

BassDad

Congratulations to SJTH and son, crazymusicmom and son, viacap and son, jazzpianomom and son, and doctorlove11 and daughter,

crazymusicmom, please let us know when that decision is definite.

All, I just noticed that we are collectively over $2 Million in scholarship offers. That sets a new record for this list, even though we probably have at least a couple hundred more acceptances to come. I am not sure whether schools are offering more this year or people are more willing to report their amounts but, either way, good work by those who are auditioning.

Octaves

My son finally received a packet from NEC today. He was accepted to Wilerstein studio which he hoped all along but never thought he would actually meke it in. He is ecstatic. NEC offered $25000 merit and school scholarships with $9000 of loan and workstudy. He was also accepted to Juilliard with $14000 scholarship + loans totaling $25000. He was not assigned to a studio yet. With Rice as the third option, he has a hard decision to make. Thanks to everyone for posting informations to share. It Was good to know there are other parents in the same boat and supporting each other. I will post my son's destination once he decides.

BassDad

Congratulations to Octaves and son.

Congratulations also to sophiamagro who, on another thread, reports acceptances to both St. Olaf and Northwestern as a double degree student in vocal performance and most likely psychology, and to Milllikin and University of Michigan in vocal performance.

Congratulations to Stillnousername who, on another thread, reports acceptances to Belmont and Northeastern as a Music Industry major.

Four years goes by so quickly. I blinked my eye and my D is off to grad school. She will be attending Rice for MM Oboe Performance.
