<p>Everyone is right…it depends on the school. NYU (Tisch and Steinhardt) make a big deal about hitting the send button…all decisions go out at once for the entire school, and they have a live video feed of the dean hitting “send.” Other schools, like CCM, are pretty good about sending out decisions within 2 weeks or so of the audition. Other schools, like Ithaca, will delete your myIthaca account if you’re going to be rejected (at least, that’s what happened last year and the year before…maybe they have changed that). Similarly, with UMich, if you get that message on Wolverine Access that says something to the effect of “We will send you a decision within 2 weeks,” it means you will be rejected. But don’t expect it to be all neat and tidy. We NEVER rece’d a formal rejection from one school last year (I had to email and beg them to let us know, several times, and still never rec’d a letter), and yet another school sent us someone ELSE’s rejection. (Who knows where our letter went? I later found out that my D had been admitted to the BA program with an invitation to re-audition for MT in November. Needless to say, she did not go there.) Read the threads of the specific schools. There are ways, with some of the schools, to find out before they tell you officially.</p>
