Berklee College of Music Early Action for Fall 2024 Admission

This is the official thread for those applying EA to Berklee College of Music. The deadline is Nov 1.

List your unweighted GPA, any SAT /ACT scores, and ECs. What majors are you going into?
Ask your questions, the CC community is here to help!

my daughter is applying to Berklee - she plays drum kit - auditioning on 11/11 in person -would welcome any tips for that, as it will be her first audition! she has a 3.6 gpa, 1280 sat, and i don’t kow what EC means. haha.
while this audition is in person, curious as to your thoughts on in person versus virtual/recorded auditions…pros/cons, etc.

@htripp, we actually have an exclusive live AMA w/ Berklee on Dec 7. You may want to ask @MikeBerkleeAdm in case you have any questions: How to Apply & Audition for a Music School - Exclusive AMA w/ Berklee College of Music on Thu, Dec 7 @ 4pm ET

My son applied to Berklee EA and auditioned on 12/2 in Baltimore. Played guitar but hoping to go into music production. I emailed the school to see if decisions were ever sent out prior to January 31……would sure be nice to find out before Christmas :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:.

So they don’t send an email letting you know to check the portal? We just need to keep checking the portal, instead of looking for an email from them, is what it sounds like. That’s good to know! Thanks for those updates and congratulations on your acceptances! We are still patiently waiting.

Did anyone get a rejection or are they only sending acceptances? Also is anyone else’s child a transfer student? I’m not sure if that affects the process.

what time did they send out the acceptance. My daughter is anxiously waiting. She auditioned November 13th

And Congrats :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I don’t know the answer, but my daughter auditioned Nov 11 and we haven’t heard anything yet either.
