<p>From time to time, advice is given here to those who didn’t get into their top choice schools to the effect that some schools will have openings after May 1 and students might consider applying to such schools come May. The NY Times reported on this situation today and provided the following link – [Space</a> Availability Survey Results 2009](<a href=“http://www.nacacnet.org/PublicationsResources/Research/SpaceAvailabiltySurvey/Pages/SpaceSurveyResults.aspx]Space”>http://www.nacacnet.org/PublicationsResources/Research/SpaceAvailabiltySurvey/Pages/SpaceSurveyResults.aspx) – to a list of colleges with openings. Some of the schools have been discussed in other threads in this forum. Of course, the fact that a school has openings generally does not mean that there are any in music. Good luck!</p>
<p>Smith and Georgetown appeared as having space available on the NACAc list released yesterday. Amazing</p>
<p>Or not - come to think of it, of the three people that I know who were accepted to Smith engineering- each received better financial packages from elsewhere and turned Smith down.</p>
<p>Note that Smith is only looking for transfers.</p>
<p>Georgetown appears not to be looking for either freshmen or transfers. I do not know why they are on the list at all. Perhaps just to let those on the waiting list know that there is still financial aid and housing available.</p>
<p>There are some pretty good schools with non-auditioned BA programs in music where you could simply declare that as a major if accepted, however.</p>
<p>Looks like Georgetown has been removed from the list. Perhaps their inclusion was an error in the first place.</p>
