Class of 30 Undergrad/Class of 28 Grad: All Things Related to Music School Applications (prescreens/tours/interviews/auditions/supplements/etc)

Not sure if it is still the case but in years past, 4/1 was the very last day of release for Juilliard. When my son was applying a handful of years ago, many studios released decisions in the week prior to 4/1.

The waiting for results is almost over! Hang in there everyone. March is an annoyingly long month.

Non-music (and other performing arts) majors have no idea how difficult this is. For me as a parent, it helped to approach the whole process as an exploration of possibilities, recognizing that at the end of it, our daughter (violin) would end up with a series of good choices, and that much more of one’s ultimate success is determined not by making the One Best Choice, but by taking full advantage of whatever opportunities she ends up with. Satisficing vs optimizing…

But, still, the anticipation of this upcoming week is huge!

According to the official CC calendar, today at 11.

Just checked, it appears that was in the “Teacher Preference” email as well… so, yeah, today.

Now I have to wait for my DD to get done with orchestra rehearsal to check. Ugh!

Just saw a post in another group saying Oberlin portals had been updated a few minutes ago.

Just had him check, in at Oberlin but not enough money.

This is what I expect to be the case for my daughter who is waiting on 4 heavy hitters (Vandy, Northwestern, Eastman and USC)….not enough money to make it worth it.

Ugh. Two declines and two wait-list this week –including one of her top choices – this is feeling scary now.

Sorry to hear. Hoping she has an acceptance or two already. And of course the waitlists are still in the running. Hang in there.

We are waiting on three of these (minus USC). Any insight on announcement dates?

Has anyone heard anything from NEC? The last few years we saw it released either on a Monday or Wednesday of the last week of March, but wondering if anyone has checked in with admissions or anything.

I think Northwestern is the 25th, and Vandy might be the same. Not sure about Eastman.

Do you know if the results come out on the same day for everyone? I auditioned on 2/15 for a MM in clarinet performance and I’m so anxious about the results lol (NEC is my top choice). I asked one of the clarinet profs when the results would come out and he said mid-March but it’s clearly past that

NEC UG has not come out. Best guess sometime this week.

I don’t know about Eastman results as a whole, but the results for Dual Degree Program are scheduled to be released on 3/24.
