Is that in the music building at the school? Or at the airport? I’m so excited!

You are asking for reconsideration of your aid awards.

I just read that! The school uses the word appeal for FA on their forms, but the internet says definitely use reconsider.

You will follow their “appeal” process.

This is actually in our hotel. But I thought it was a good way to decorate!

We listened to jazz in the park while eating our beignets this morning. Very New Orleans of us.

I was thinking of your son today, because mine is waiting on his Berklee decision, and I wonder how long it takes. Then I read this post and can relate, because my kid’s list has narrowed down significantly, and there were several he did not need to do in retrospect.

Does anyone know how long Berklee takes to decide?

Kid had a great audition (virtual, went very well), and while it would take a large scholarship for us, it will be nice to hear from them and know for sure. It was the first school S ever heard about when we started this journey (two of his teachers are alumni), and he applied so long ago.

S applied EA to three schools back in October, and two of them are going to be among the last he’ll hear from. Berklee had to be rescheduled three times because of his dad’s health, and Miami deferred him.

I think it is March 15. Mine auditioned in Nov (12th I think)…was told Jan 31 for early action and heard back 12/15. A couple of his friends did regular admissions and were told 3/15

Cool! S could hear from two or three of his remaining schools in the next few days. :smiley: He’s leaving for a road trip with his ridiculous band of friends in a week. It would be nice to have some decisions in by then, no matter what the decisions may be.

The wait is hard! Mine is getting impatient bc some of his UNT camp friends are down to UNT vs Manhattan School of Music and they are April 1!!! He wants to pick a roommate for UNT but none of them are (or can be) decided yet!

Why do we use a different word than they do? I had not come across this in my research.

April 1st!! :outrage: :frustration: In the meantime, he can order a hoodie and talk to some current students, watch videos, etc. :heart:

April 1st for Berklee? We live in San Francisco, they held auditions in Oakland (very close to SF) and we heard not too long after… I almost want to say 2 weeks after. This was back in Nov or Dec.

I think she was referring to my comment about Manhattan School of Music…Berklee reg admissions should be 3/15

We had the same experience with Berklee. My son auditioned in December, I think, and heard back a couple of weeks later. He did the regional audition in Nashville. They seemed to be on a rolling timetable with auditions and acceptances.

Berklee RD is 3/15 (tomorrow) for undergrads or just grad students? Our counselor had said 3/31 but that was back in January.

I’m only hearing this from my son’s friends, I’d def look online! But they did say and post 1/31 for Early Action and my son heard on 12/15 so I’m not sure anything is set in stone!

I am wondering if others are still waiting to hear from Vanderbilt - Blair. I’m pretty sure @RussianMom has a child who heard around a week ago. And ‘regular’ students seem to have heard and heard about scholarships last week too. Are Blair decisions semi rolling in nature? Or are they released separately for different instruments? My daughter is vocal performance (BM).
