thanks. Waiting on IU, and still haven’t even heard about academic acceptance despite a mid october common app submission. His academic portal was messed up from the start, with things showing as missing that were there, and they “manually” made a note of it, so i am nervous that may have impact on the music end due to technicality?
Thoughts on calling music admissions to make sure all the admin things are in order or stay out of it? I hate to wait til Friday or later if there’s any mix up, thoughts? thanks!!

We had one school with an issue like this and my son emailed the admissions department to make sure it was all corrected.

We just heard from Berklee. He got in and is very happy!

My S also submitted common app for IU in mid October and hasn’t heard about academic acceptance yet.

S’s classmate received a Berklee acceptance from his October audition and immediately accepted. Don’t know if he got any merit, I’ll have my son ask.

Early action has been great for S, just being able to spread out the auditions has been a real blessing.

12/18 - Got Rice result and passed prescreen! Seems odd to send at 8pm, but oh well… signed up for an audition slot.

Has anyone heard of a percussionist getting a pre screen at IU? Thanks

I have a question. After submitting prescreening materials and applications, my child was selected as a finalist by a nationally recognized organization. Should I notify colleges she is applying to?
