By my 3 music kids’ experiences, most prescreen results came in the last half of December. We’re just entering that time frame. Hopefully that means your wait is nearly over:).
I don’t believe my S22 had any prescreen results at this point in Dec yet- they were more toward the end of Dec into January and I remember CMU being the latest of all of them.
Toi Toi Toi! Try to breathe- it’s a stressful time but it will be behind you soon enough!
Don’t worry – it’s too early! My son applied to three of these and not one arrived before 12/20 if I remember correctly. Juilliard does it by instrument/voice, and ours were not out until second week of January.
Juilliard - still waiting
Eastman - pass
New England Conservatory - pass
Northwestern - pass
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) - still waiting
University of Michigan - pass
Very excited about the audition season! Wish everybody best luck in 2025!
Just a generalization, but Curtis tends to extend audition invitations about one month prior to the audition date for each studio.
(I have a current student there)
Can confirm the accuracy of this! Curtis notifies about one month before or so. And since they have a later application date, basically nothing ever comes out until early January at the absolute earliest.
Yale’s music program is grad only and it is tuition free like Curtis, so yes, they do prescreens and multiple days of live auditions. It’s very competitive.
Got it! You are auditioning grduate school, I’m applying their music department undergraduate. Kind of disappointed that they do not hold audition for undergraduates
Ah, I understand now. Yes, for undergrad they have music classes and you can take lessons, but they don’t hold auditions because you can’t get an undergrad music degree. But if you attend Yale and take lessons/join ensembles, that could give you a leg up to get into the masters program which is HUGE!
