Thanks! We are also waiting to hear about merit $$ from Frost.
Long month for sure 
Being a music parent is not for the faint of heart!

Everyday I check in to see the updates. And I do think…man are people still waiting! Lol. I always called this March “madness”….bc it’ll drive your crazy.
I wish I had something good to say….but sometimes one of your biggest decisions comes at the last minute. Heavy sigh.
Hang in there. We survived this….and so can you!

Hi, where is the acceptance thread? I am technically challenged and somewhat overwhelmed by this site, but love it, lol!

Checking this thread is now part of my morning routine, I appreciate everyone’s support and good vibes, and really look forward to hearing how you and your kiddos are doing.
I have a very small group of “music parents” that understand the level of dedication and effort our kids are making this year, and will probably continue making through their careers if they decide to choose their professional path in music. I don’t even try to explain everything to “civilians”. It’s too much!
You all make the wait easier and your celebrations and messages of support make my day and my daughter’s day better!
Just wanted to say Thank you!
It is a rainy and dark day in ATL and I am feeling a little sentimental, lol!

I’ve been lurking on this thread for awhile but have never posted. I’ve gotten a lot of good insights into schools and auditions here so thank you all for sharing your process. Our road has been a little different because my daughter is a songwriter/composer first and foremost so I didn’t have much to add to the conversation. But as we wind down, I just want to wish everyone good luck and say thank you for helping out a quiet lurker

It’s smoky, too, right? Fingers crossed that the sun shines through, literally and metaphorically!
Same here! Presidential?

NYU decisions are out on March 28th!!!
Please do tell us more about your D’s journey, if you’re comfortable sharing! I’m sure future songwriters/composers would be grateful. Wishing your D lots of luck!

Because our oldest is in college (graduates this year with a degree in mechanical engineering), we felt pretty confident with how the college application process goes. HAHAHAHA Music is completely different and so much harder with all the regular things plus portfolio and auditions. We did our best to guide our daughter in this. Her first choice was NYU songwriting and she applied EDII and was rejected. She took it surprisingly well. Didn’t make it past prescreen for USC. But now she has been accepted to Harrt, UC Denver, SUNY Purchase, Drexel, Stevens Institute, and Columbia College. Waiting on Berklee and Frost. Getting past prescreen for Frost was a great boost after the early rejections.

My daughter got into the MADE/CAM at Miami. So excited for her! Not sure she’ll go there but proud she put herself out there. She only started singing/playing originals in front of people in May of last year.

My trombonist was accepted to DePaul Wednesday (no financial info yet) and Eastman today (with a hefty scholarship but still bananas price tag). Didn’t make it past Curtis first round live audition.

Definitely noticing the price difference between music programs for my daughter and MechE programs with my son.
Second music school scholarship came in today from UMD! It’s about 70% of full tuition and renewable! Very happy parents and kid! Tomorrow Oberlin comes out!

In what way? Just curious, I have a STEM college student too (though he does music in college also). And I have a straight music kid applying right now.
Wow amazing! Congratulations!
