2020 PRE-SCREEN THREAD

@2427Mom The best way to figure out likely dates of release is to look at the 2019 prescreen thread, starting at page 1 and search for your school of interest. The first time it occurs will be near the likely date.

@2427Mom Majority of school release information before the Christmas Break. I saw that USC, NECM and maybe even SFCM are doing that.

Continued: On December 20th, to be exact, which is this Friday.

Correction NECM is supposed to email in the beginning of January.

@"Mezzo’sMama where did you see the USC date?

Can’t figure out PM so here you go:

Son (23) will finish BMus in VP in May, has applied for MMus VP Opera (tenor)
Prescreen results, thus far:

JSoM @ IU - received audition invitation via acceptd.com on 12/13 for date TBD
BoCo - audition email invitation arrived on 12/13, audition scheduled for 1/25

Awaiting prescreen results from 4 other domestic and 1 international school

Getting exciting now. Good luck everyone!!!

@whoops that was supposed to be @MezzoMama autocorrect haha. @MezzoMama I was wondering where you saw a 12/20 pre-acreen result date for USC? Thanks.

I think I saw it… but now that i am looking I can’t find it. Sorry.

Never mind. I found it.
If you google this is what comes out.

It is under “Piano Accompaniment” heading, you have to scroll down.

@MezzoMama, wow, that really was imbedded in there! Good detective work.

I clicked the link for info on both the jazz and choral auditions and I believe it doesn’t have the same info (though I could have missed it). Hopefully though our results will be released around the same time.

I think they gave the classical voice applicants more precise info because they recommend you bring along your own pianist (!) or hire someone from Thornton. With jazz instrumentalists, Thornton provides the rhythm section to play along, so maybe they felt they didn’t need to give a time frame? In any case, it’s different departments. Good to know though! The waiting is harder than I imagined to would be. :frowning: But I’m not really a patient person lol.

D just got her Mannes audition for BM Flute Performance - 3/1

@flutyMcFluteface nice. We are still waiting to hear. I am more anxious than my Son. That is for sure.

When does MSM and Mannes send result for MM?

@Doransa Thanks! D got her app for Mannes in Oct, so maybe that’s why she got a response so early. Hang in there! What’s your Son’s major?

By the way, we’re trying to make travel plans for the Mannes audition. Does anyone know whether Mannes has a long audition day or is it just go in audition and you’re done?

I’m hoping that Berklee follows their timeline from last year and releases EA results this week! I don’t think we can wait until 1/31.

@DramaMama603 Me Too!

@flutyMcFluteface My son is applying to music composition. Hoping to hear some news by the end of this week. If we do not hear anything, it will be a very long winter break. He seems very calm, studying for midterms. Funny but it helps him. I would be more anxious. I am so glad he has a calm personality.
