2020 PRE-SCREEN THREAD

ClassCompMom · January 16, 2020, 11:32pm

Congrats Compgrad1! By name are you Masters level?

S just rejected for Juilliard prescreen in composition I’m taking it worse than he is

seemsfamiliar · January 17, 2020, 12:15am

@ClassCompMom I was also rejected for undergrad composition this evening.
I heard from a friend (grad student in violin performance) a few days ago that the composition department only had a few students graduating this year from an already over-crowded studio. Seems like odds might be stacked against us for the most part.

I listened to the first episode of the “Dead Heir Records” podcast about two former undergraduate students’ experience going to the Juilliard school for music composition (both graduating) and they say outright that they wished they would have tried for Mannes instead. The main reason being the overall attitude at the school can make it hard to collaborate, especially with how competitive most of the students are. I think that they had a bad attitude about music school in general (maybe they went for the wrong reasons), but some of their experiences were insightful to me.

Don’t beat yourself up too much!

Compgrad1 · January 17, 2020, 12:58am

yes, it’s for the masters program!

Quick update. The last school we were waiting to hear back from was Juilliard. Didn’t pass pre-screening. I think I’m taking it worse than he is. But it’s a part of life, and another opportunity to work through disappointment. So the original four we confirmed (JMU, NEC, Oberlin, and JMU) are it for us. Good luck to everyone else.

Update for S (MM VP Opera, Tenor)

Finally heard back from Yale, it was a TBNT (thanks but no thanks) as expected.
Live auditions at USC, NEC, BoCo, SFCM confirmed. IU & UBC will likely recorded auditions due to calendar conflicts.

Thanks to all of you, this thread has been a huge help in narrowing down where to audition, prescreen expectations, school/studio feedback and general camaraderie.

Very impressed with all of the musicians, wish I could hear them all perform!

Thanks @tableforsix for all of your coordination! - Cheers

Momofviolinboy · January 18, 2020, 3:01am

I meant to say my son’s 4 confirmed are JMU, NEC, Oberlin, and McDuffie.

MezzoDadbynight · January 19, 2020, 3:34am

DePauw audition is now confirmed for 2/8.

Elegie17 · January 19, 2020, 8:35pm

Just had my NYU audition yesterday! I think a few other on this thread may have been there (@runninglate ?) It went amazing! Just wanted to add that I have a Syracuse video audition. Good luck to all who still have auditions this week! Flying out to Michigan this Thursday for my first on-site audition!!! Nervous but very excited.
