How much weight does the primary teacher have on acceptance?

I’ve posted my anecdote on another thread. Very accomplished violinist accepted to the studio of one of the big violin teacher “names” for MM both at Juilliard and NEC where name teacher has studios. Undergrad GPA was too low, multiple repated theory classes before passing for credit. Ultimately, both schools denied admittance. So, it does happen.

But, that’s one story and not your school. I’m sure there is no single answer to your question - too many teachers and schools out there. I suspect you will be OK, but do study hard for any grad placement exams if you are admitted and attend. You don’t want to take remdial no cedit classes if you can avoid it!
