<p>Out of 50 auditions, what do you think would be a selective number accepted?</p>
<p>come on… you know you wanna reply.</p>
<p>Do you mean based on 50 auditioners, how many would be accepted for it to be considered a selective school?</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what I mean. And I know it varies from each instrument and mwhatnot, so this is just supposed to be the first thing that comes to your head kind of thing. I specifically am interested in classical guitar, but you could put whatever instrument you wanted.</p>
<p>Selectivity is highly subjective. Personally, I feel that 30-50% acceptance rate is selective, 15-30% is very selective, and under 15% is extremely selective. Much of it depends on where you apply (the overall level of the applicants). I wouldn’t worry so much about what is considered selective. It is more important that you find a place where you fit in well and are motivated to work hard to improve.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. I know what your saying; I’m not planning on taking this selectivity thing too seriously, I just wanted to get people’s general idea of what a selective number would be. Anyone else is welcome to respond as well.</p>
<p>I go to MSM. Last year we took ten guitar applicants (out of about 70) and the year before they took 1 (out of the same size pool).</p>
<p>Doesn’t it depend on how many openings a particular school has for your instrument in a given year?</p>
<p>Yeah, well at the school I’m going to, they take between three and four guitarists year, and never more than four. There were 50 people auditioning for guitar this year, and only about 2-4 got in.
P.S. Piglet20, Who is the guitar prof.at Manhattan?</p>
