@clarinetdad16:
Teachers are always the ones who decide who gets into their studios, that is true in undergrad and graduate, and it comes down to the teacher and who they like, and yeah, well roundedness can enter into the picture.However, assuming that people from Harvard or Yale will necessarily be well rounded, as versus let’s say a kid who went to a conservatory or another school, is simplistic, music teachers are not going to see Harvard or Yale on a resume and assume they are better rounded, that will come from actually knowing the kid in question, or from hearing it in their audition. Obviously, being a program with a strong orchestra program can be a facet of well roundedness, but I also have seen kids coming out of Harvard and Yale et al that I doubt you could consider them well rounded, it all depends on the kid in question and who they are, and the "well roundedness’ that a particular school gives them may not be the kind of well roundedness a music teacher is looking for.
