They didn’t take take any undergrad oboes, only grad students. They waitlisted the undergrads. If a grad student declines he might have a spot. Fingers crossed.

Yes, I understand that they do this. But it is no small feat to get on their waitlist.

Well done!

Thank you so much! I am proud of him. It just stings a bit as this was his most expensive audition weekend. With his health issues we had to book an extra night’s stay on either end of his audition day. He traveled to that audition alone and we were being overly cautious. If we knew they weren’t planning to admit undergrads we could have allocated those funds more judiciously.

We’re waiting on the Oberlin decisions today. Emotionally he is the most vested in Oberlin. The school ticks all of his boxes. I do believe that we met your son on audition day.

On the positive side regarding Colburn, they may very well remember your son 4 years from now if he is looking at grad programs.

Enjoy Nashville! I noticed the MTSU recording program is on your list. It’s a really well noted program with lots of opportunities. My son has been offered a scholarship for piano there, but we’re waiting to hear from the Northeast conservatories first to weigh options.

Oh, I am sure that was pretty stressful-- but sounds like he managed it pretty well! We live quite close to Colburn; had I known I would have certainly offered to help out!

Happy to hear you may have met our S-- he loved working the auditions since he didn’t get to do any live auditions himself last year. He’s home for spring break and it’s nice to have him here.

Fingers very crossed for you and all those waiting today and the next couple of weeks. I know the anxiety is high.

Hey everyone, Congratulations! A couple little administrative things:

Please tell me if I have something that needs correcting!

If you have acceptance dates, please include those. It’s not crucial if you don’t, but I think they’re helpful for future people.

Also, let me know if you want to include waitlists. They also could be helpful for future readers, but I understand if they don’t feel like they belong here (yet). I included any that were specifically noted on this thread, but if I heard about them on other threads I did not.

Also, if posters are comfortable including instrument, voice, genre of music or focus of study, this can be really helpful to future applicants.
I see it is included on most but not all of the acceptances listed above.
