<p>Hi ~ first time poster…and I hope I get this right! My S., on 12/19 was invited out to Thornton, Popular Music:Guitar, UG and just got a nod from Frost this evening, 12/29, in Composition/Commercial Music & Production, Contemporary Guitar. Tense times!! </p>

123

<p>My S got the Mannes email this morning, passed, UG, Composition :)</p>

124

<p>@mceejay‌ I got the email this morning as well for Mannes but as a VP major! Congrats to your S with composition, see you there! :)</p>

125

<p>Hello! First time poster, but I’ve been lurking for quite a while :slight_smile: </p>

<p>12/19 my S received the email that he passed pre-screen for classical double bass, UG, Manhattan School of Music.</p>

<p>Thank you and good luck to everyone on their respective journeys!</p>

126

<p>Hi S passed pre-screen UG piano for Mannes today.</p>

127

<p>12/30/14, Bluemeringue’s S, Eastman, Classical Piano Performance, UG, declined</p>

<p>We’re very sad today, but hoping for better news soon.</p>

128

<p>Sorry for your disappointing news.</p>

129

<p>@bigbro96, should I assume that means that he probably won’t pass Juilliard either? I just want to prepare him. Good luck to you, btw. I see that you’re also auditioning for piano at Oberlin.</p>

<p>@blumeringue- not necessarily, but you never know. As for “preparing” your son, if he’s planning on a career in music, his life is going to be one audition after another and with that comes rejection, so he needs to get used to it. You’ll probably find that he deals with it better than you do!</p>

<p>@mezzosmama, you are right. He was disappointed, but he seems to have bounced back. He has decided to practice more. Thank you! </p>

133

<p>@bluemeringue‌ I don’t think you ever can assume anything after auditions. There are so many factors that come in to play and every audition is different. So, you just never know until those results come out.</p>

134

<p>I knew a student who was a finalist at Curtis on piano, but his pre-screen was rejected at Mannes. You never know. </p>

135

<p>Hi - sorry for late reply, I was on a red eye flight. There is no rule that you can’t be accepted to Juilliard if you’re rejected by Mannes. I’m a J grad but was waitlisted by Hartt (go figure).</p>

136

<p>I did not mean to imply there was a rule (anyway, this student did not apply to Juilliard.) Actually to be fair, Mannes is known to have a very tough pre-screen. Because of space limitations they can’t offer as many live auditions. So it’s a tougher hurdle than some. Congrats to those who passed the pre-screen, and to those who did not: take it with a grain of proverbial salt.</p>

137

<p>Of course not! I was responding to the Eastman/Juilliard question - my experience is if you’re in at some places, that’s a good sign. Happy 2015 to all & good luck!</p>

138

<p>Thank you all. Slept in for a change (I’m off today) and feeling better. More importantly, my son is working very hard on what he thinks were the weak points of his pre-screenings. He just has to stick with it and make the most of wherever he goes. You are all amazing. Thank you, again.</p>

139

Happy new year everyone! <:-P
@bluemeringue‌ Don’t me discouraged. My best friend’s older sister never got preselected for Manhattan and Rice, but was accepted into Juilliard with a hefty merit scholarship! So you never know what they’re looking for. It’s so hard to tell, but always brace yourself for the worst, and the best at the same time. Either way, all will end up as it’s supposed to be :slight_smile:
Good luck!

12/19/14 - Oberlin, VP, UG

Waiting to hear from Northwestern and Juilliard regarding pre-screens.
