@OperaAdri, that’s great to hear, my son get a decline from MSM so I thought all NYC schools were going to do the same, although he passed Mannes prescreen, I was not hopeful for Juilliard. I guess there’s still hope!
Still waiting for NEC, Juilliard and Carnegie Mellon. Hoping for at least one out of three! Happy New Years to all, and thanks for being so compassionate and supportive.
Good luck @bluemeringue! Looks like your son has already passed a few- that’s great. Think it can be just as hard on the parents.
Hi all! I’m a graduate student applying to schools for DMA in Piano. Just want to say I’ve really enjoyed this thread! Any other DMA applicants here??

D got the email to check the portal today for Eastman - declined.
Sorry w2behome
Sorry about the bad news from Eastman. We are waiting to hear as well. Can I ask W2BeHome what instrument?
Sorry to hear that W2BeHome. My S has had a rejection also. Hang in there! It will all work out.
Sorry, I should have included that her “instrument” is VP/mezzo. She had a few other declines as well. She only has one pre-screen school invitation for a live audition out of six. For one of those she hadn’t completed the application, so I don’t know if that was a factor. It’s been a rough month due to other events, but we are pressing forward. The reduced stress and travel may be a blessing in disguise. As it is, she will probably have six live auditions.
What live screen did she pass? My D is VP too.
Our D got the decline notification from Eastman today as well. It’s her 18th birthday party tonight, so we’re going to wait until tomorrow to tell her. She spent the past 2 summers at Eastman so it’s going to be devastating. BUT, she has auditions at Mannes (her #2 choice), Ithaca, Oberlin, SUNY-Fredonia and University of North Texas. So far, batting 500. Still waiting on Carnegie Mellon. Rejected by Rice and Vanderbilt. McGill has a later application deadline.
@oscar63 - she passed for Univ. of North Texas (it was already on the list for this thread). Her other declines came from CCM, IUB-Jacobs, Oberlin, and SMU.
Weloming FriscoFred to the group!
