Class of 28 Undergrad/Class of 26 Grad: a thread to capture the journey of applications, pre screens, tours and auditions

[somethings]

last year Peabody+Homewood dual degree acceptance came out the same day as JHU RD decisions. I assume Peabody decision would be the same day.

[Trixiedogmom]

Eastman/Rochester Dual Degree is a YES! With a very generous merit scholarship! We are still in shock! (jazz piano and an arts/science degree tbd)

[crabbydaddy]

Congrats. We have heard amazing things. Friend of d24 got 43k merit yearly

[Msumt]

Curious, is the friend a dual major at UoR or Eastman only?

[crabbydaddy]

Dual, heard from Rochester a couple of days ago… then eastman. Guaranteed merit for 5 years which is estimated length

[TigerLily52]

Anyone in here still waiting for Eastman orchestral performance? (No jazz/dual degree). I am going to assume this will be the week to hear based on past threads and what I’m seeing on our thread currently!

[jok1]

My son (music ed, piano) just heard from Eastman this morning!

[Msumt]

We are still waiting for performance, non-dual. Hoping soon!

[TigerLily52]

Just heard from Eastman as well. Sadly, it’s a no. D is not really too upset as that ended up being a video audition due to travel costs and she wasn’t really feeling it. Congrats to all who are accepted!!!

[TigerLily52]

Also, don’t forget to send your acceptance/declination updates to me via pm. (Pm is easiest as opposed to posting the update, as it ensures I’ll see it!) Any music major is welcome to contribute…not just those applying to SOMs, as the description states.

Acceptance Thread for Class of '28 Undergrad/'26 Grad Music Majors

Hi there! This thread is to track acceptances to SOMs, as well as any merit scholarships awarded. I know that I always looked forward to reading all the news from friends I’d followed on their journey, and the information was helpful to my family as we were in the planning stages prior to auditions. Let’s celebrate and commiserate together! If you’d like to be included, message me with updates that include the school of acceptance or declination and the date on which you heard. You can include any merit awards as you feel comfortable, as well as including instrument or area. Looking forward to seeing where we all land!

So i hear John Hopkins results aro out - anyone got Peabody results as we do not?

[TigerLily52]

I heard they were coming out today as well. Perhaps later this afternoon? Not sure if Peabody is on a different timeline. Good luck!

[Doransa]

Not yet still waiting. They surely taking their time.

[jilukes]

Nothing yet from Peabody. The shocking one for us is Rice. D20 (MM Voice) auditioned back in late January, and they requested official transcripts in early February, which were quickly supplied. But no updates since. Has anyone else heard from Rice? Maybe they’re waiting on FAFSA?

[Doransa]

Waiting is the hardest.

[somethings]

Rice usually tells the applicants 2-5 days ahead of their decision date. Last year the decision came out on 3/27.

[operalovermom]

We have heard from Johns Hopkins but not Peabody too. Their email from a while back said April 1. That is a long wait…

[somethings]

So Peabody applicants don’t get the result today? That’s weird. As if they’re trying to distance themselves from JHU.

[operalovermom]

When our daughter auditioned, the Peabody folks said that the admissions processes were separate. I guess they are!

[Momofviolinboy]

We’re in the same boat with Rice, although my son (MM Violin) auditioned early February. We haven’t heard from any of the schools he auditioned at, including Shepherd SOM at Rice.
