Could someone please tell me what “IWU” stands for!?

I’m guessing that it’s Illinois Wesleyan University. I know that they have a VP and MT program. We’ll see if the OP responds.

Wow, two awesome acceptances!

145

Thank you for all this information! Very helpful.
We are waiting but thinking there are such few spots for classical voice - would be an incredible surprise if accepted.
It’s her number 1
SMU Meadows , etc. not interested

My child (violin, undergrad) received a few more acceptances:

3/22 - Curtis
3/30 - Juilliard
3/31 - CIM

Also acceptance from professor directly at NEC, but not official yet

Thank you for your advice. @JunieB3 I apologize if I was too negative. I really do think that the music waitlists are real and do move. This is excellent advice about letting them know how interested she is.

You weren’t negative at all. Great advice. She just doesn’t want to come across as “annoying”. LOL
Y’all have been very helpful. Much appreciated.

This is an amazing set of acceptances…Colburn too if I recall.
Congratulations! Can’t wait to hear where your violinist ends up.

Congratulations :tada:

A quick edit to our son’s acceptances - he was also accepted to New England Conservatory and the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins for Jazz Studies/Guitar. We thought he had applied to NYU but he informed us that he didn’t. So, all in all he auditioned for five colleges. He will still attend USC Thornton and has notified the other schools. Hopefully it opens up more merit $$ to support kids who are attending.

Anyone have a guess on when to hear from FA from USC thornton? Thanks!

We’re waiting, too. They said three to five business days after all your materials are marked complete.

157

Thanks! Oh wow! Our’s is still pending review, so that puts it at next week at the earliest. Interesting (and challenging) that they’re the only school we’ve come across that has such a delay in FA.

My friend’s been complete awhile and no word…wish I had better intel!

Do you mean the yellow triangle and “Application in Review”? I assumed that once I got to yellow, with no more red items, it would be three to five days, because that’s what it says there.

160

That’s too bad, for your friend and for all of us. If USC gets close, we still have to travel there! We’re not going to visit if we can’t let him go.
