Congratulations!
@kestral44 How did you hear from Frost (email, CaneLink, etc)? My S applied Music Business (Contemporary Guitar) and hasn’t heard. Is this a bad sign?
@Cameron121…my son heard via email on Dec. 29th. As to whether this is a bad sign, I really don’t know. This music application process is an entirely new experience for us. Someone else on this board may be able to answer you? I hope all goes well…All the best!!
@kestral44 Thanks, you too! Out of curiosity, which audition date did he sign up for? I’m wondering if they are filling earlier ones first. We did Feb 20.
I’m still impressed at how hard the Admissions folks work; holidays, breaks, weekends- they keep cranking out the notifications. Please students, remember to stop in and say “thank you” when you’re touring the school on audition day!

@Cameron121…I checked the audition date, and it is February 20. Best wishes!
Anyone else waiting to hear from Carnegie Mellon or know when they’re likely to send out invitations? I read that their on-site auditions are on Feb. 1st, so airline tickets are getting costlier by the moment.
Thanks @kestral44. Got the rejection email today from Frost 
Oh well, plenty of other options, Frost was the most performance-oriented one. My S also applied to Thornton for Music Production, and will be auditioning later this month - I saw your S got a callback for popular music - maybe they will end up there and collaborate! Good luck!
Hi bluemeringue - we’re in the same boat. I’ve tried calling several times today but keep getting a voice mail (don’t want to leave a message for obvious reasons). The number is (412) 268-4118. Will keep trying & post if I hear anything. Not clear why they can’t notify sooner if the audition is so soon.
Hey @bigbro96, my son emailed both Carnegie Mellon and NEC and asked when they will be sending out invitations for live auditions for piano performance. He didn’t have the guts to email Juilliard.
He saw that the admissions officer had viewed his application on Decision Desk a couple of weeks ago, but maybe that was just a preliminary review.
I did get through after I posted and was told they have the results and will email them soon. I mentioned the cost in the hopes that it helps speed this up. Good luck!
Oh my gosh!! Scary. Thanks for letting us know.
CMU will email soon? Or NEC ? Or Both?
waiting on NEC as well . . .
@oscar63 I believe theyre referring to CMU
S just received live audition invite to Eastman UG piano.
Yes - we were discussing CMU (Carnegie Mellon U).
Congrats @bigrbro96! My son got declined there. Your son must be extremely talented.
I’m really sorry - didn’t your son get an audition at Oberlin? That’s very competitive as well, so it’s luck of the draw. My son has a good friend who got live piano auditions at Oberlin & Eastman but was declined at both. He’s extremely talented but the numbers of pianists are staggering. Anyhow, maybe we’ll see you at Oberlin?
That’s very disconcerting! Yes, so far, my son has auditions at Oberlin, U. Michigan, Vanderbilt and Thornton. Thornton and Vanderbilt are on the same day, so we are requesting a new date from Thornton, but they don’t guarantee they’ll honor the request.
My son has his regional audition for Oberlin this Saturday in San Francisco. When is your son’s audition? Where does your son want to go?
Where did your son’s friend wind up going, if you don’t mind me asking?
