Hi Bluemeringue - I took a little break from this. No word still from CMU on our end. So you were advised to take the regional audition at Oberlin? I was under the impression it’s better to do it at Oberlin since you audition for the actual committee as opposed to being videotaped. I’m trying to juggle all these dates to arrange live visits but it would be easier if he did the regional audition in NYC that’s already scheduled.

It sounds like StacJip’s son was admitted through a regional audition - am curious if it was on piano?

203

Still nothing from Carnegie Mellon. They sure know how to keep people waiting. The audition, if my D gets one, will be in a few weeks. Thankfully it’s a regional audition not far from home.

204

Yes I’m surprised given that the audition is only a few weeks away and some of us need to make travel arrangements. Our end of the bargain is kept and we’ve submitted materials on time. It kind of makes one wonder if they treat students with such little consideration.

205

It could be a difference of several hundred dollars for us, since we’re flying from California. I would expect at least one month’s notice. Ah well.

@Bigbro96, I specifically asked the head of admissions at Oberlin Con if we should make the trip to improve his odds, and she begged me to have my son do the regional audition. She said they spend a lot of money to offer the regional auditions, and it irritates them when students still insist on auditioning in person. Keep in mind that we already visited the school – so that may have factored into her response.

206

That’s very helpful - thanks! I’m also afraid of a super storm if we give up the regional audition - I guess I’ll wait a little longer.

207

bluemerengue: Yes, we are from Oakland, CA. Also waiting to hear from Carnegie Mellon.

Hello everyone! I’m wondering if anyone for VP UG knows anything about Juilliard yet? I know it’s probably towards the end of this month but plane tickets keep getting more expensive (as mentioned in comments above, wow). At this point I’m thinking of taking the bus over there and back because it’s a hundred or more cheaper, but it’s also more tedious?

Thoughts, anyone?

210

My D received an email from Northwestern yesterday with good news.
1/5/15, UmmaBlue3’s D, Northwestern, VP, UG
Thank you!

211

Congratulations!

212

Can I ask how long it was between the submission of the pre-screen and the notice of pass/decline? Did it vary from school to school?

213

Hello Irishmom, yes they vary. Prescreens for voice are due Dec 1 and the schools let you know between as early as 1 week to right before Christmas and some are still coming out now. The live auditions take place in Jan and Feb and early March. The grueling process goes on for months. I think they should know by mid to end of March where they are accepted. Not sure on instruments-

214

1/5/15 Northwestern Bienen, MplsMom’s S, Jazz Bass UG - Pass

215

1/5/2015 Northwestern Bienen, Rosie26’s D, VP UG - Pass

216

1/06/15 NYU Steinhardt Classical VP UG pass

217

Hi all! I’m waiting on Eastman for classical piano DMA. Anyone heard anything? Getting impatient…

218

I just called CMU to ask when they would send results and was told another day or so. I said this was driving up costs but it didn’t seem to matter.

219

Has any one else besides UmmaBlue3’s D hear results from BU for VP? My nails can’t get any shorter.

220

Thankfully cross country flight prices are holding steady to Boston but the wait is getting stressful. NEC is the non-flexible audition day so other moving parts are on hold waiting for a yea or nay
