2014-2015 Pre-Screen Thread- OPEN TO ALL THIS YEAR

Yeah I checked my spam folder. Nothing there either. Can anyone give me the email address that sent them the email?

I’m a violinist by the way and I’m using recorded audition for my live audition as well. Are violinists supposed to find out some other day if they passed ore screening? I definitely got an email saying that they were going to email me results today

wccarson@cmu.edu

Interesting, I don’t know. Try emailing W. Colby Carson at the above handle.

While I know it’s frustrating, it is possible that not all instruments will be announced on the same day and that undergrad and grad applicants will hear at different times also. Try to hang in there folks!

passed prescreens (found out some a while ago though)- Northwestern/Bienen, Indiana/Jacobs, and UW Madison, - Graduate (MM), Piano Performance

still waiting on a few

@iluvpiano, do you mind using the format in the thread to report your passes? For example, 1/8, iluvpiano, Northwestern/Bienen, piano performance, UG?

It makes it a whole lot easier for MezzoMama to aggregate the results, and she’s doing this out of the kindness of her heart!

NEC declined, UG piano. We are having a bad week here. Very worried that my son will not get accepted into any of the programs for which he did get live auditions, considering he couldn’t even get live auditions at so many of them. His recordings were not great, since we only spent a couple of hours, so he didn’t have time to get flawless recordings. Not sure how much of an impact that would have. Any ideas? I figured that would be understandable, but now I wish we had devoted more time to it.

@bluemeringue - Sorry about the disappointment. My d was declined at 5 out of her 6 pre-screen schools. She has six total live auditions coming up and we are facing facts and moving forward. At least with this process, we’re not wasting valuable time, energy, and money by visiting those other schools and can focus on the others.

@W2BeHome, guess we are in the same boat. I actually deleted the email from my son’s account, so we could wait to tell him until Monday. He has auditions today, tomorrow and Sunday, and I don’t want to shake his confidence even more. He was worried enough yesterday with CMU. I wish I knew how much of this was about his crappy recordings and how much reflected his current level as a pianist. I assume it’s a combination of the two. Just hope he gets accepted into one program! Very best of luck to you and your D. How is she holding up?

@bluemeringue - My latest saying is “She only needs to go to one school!” Of course, it would feel a lot better if she knew more than one wanted her. :wink:

@bluemeringue - I know how tough this is. We went through it last year with our son, who is now happily ensconced at one of his top-choice schools. But there were rejections and major disappointments along the way. The whole winter was an unpleasant blur that required my best game-face ever. But you and your son will survive it and be the stronger for it. It’s so very hard to see our children judged, scrutinized and found to be “lacking.” We know them for the complete people they are, capable of so much. Capable of handling disappointments, too, even though right now you may be worried that your son will be devastated. It’s hard, but there will be many challenges, some much, much bigger to face in life (nobody escapes unscathed, after all). And one of the schools he’s auditioning at may be the absolute perfect fit. Hang in there. In a year, everything will be different, and most likely, very good.

@onekidmama, did your son also fail some of the pre-screens? My biggest concern is that he won’t get accepted into ANY program at this point. I know I’m being irrational. But I’m just so worried for him. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your experience and for being so kind.

Just got out of long rehearsal and received two more UG piano results - decline from NEC & accept from Peabody, Peabody sent a nice email and wrote that they are still getting through the results so if anyone else is waiting on them, don’t be discouraged. We still have one more left - Juilliard. I really want him to audition at Juilliard and am hoping for good results. NEC we did as joint app with Harvard and they actually made a point of declining him as a dual applicant. Don’t know if anyone else is in this boat but just to warn folks they made a point that it was going to be very selective. But overall, we’re happy with the results. Now it’s time to worry about live auditions - how to be ready and prevent burnout. Anyone who’s dealing with this?

1/9, plrsd888’s D, Peabody, Piano Perf, UG

@bigbro96, same for us with NEC – my DS applied for the dual program w/ Harvard as well and was specifically rejected as a dual candidate. Didn’t give that much thought. Your son is killing it on auditions. I’m sure he’ll get a live audition at Juilliard. I assume this was more about Harvard than NEC.

@bluemeringue If your son is applying to dual degree programs, he must also be applying separately to academic only schools? If so, some of them have great adjunct professors on piano, or he could continue to study privately on piano while pursuing his other degree. For instance, he might be able to take private lessons at NEC if admitted to Harvard…

Ok here is my updated list in the correct format. Sorry about that. I just couldn’t remember the dates I found out about all the prescreens. I looked them up now on my emails!

10/27, iluvpiano, UW Madison, Piano Performance, GR (MM)

12/17, iluvpiano, Indiana/Jacobs, Piano Performance, GR (MM)

1/2, iluvpiano, Northwestern/Bienen, Piano Performance, GR (MM)

Got it now!
