<p>I was accepted to either Hopkins or Peabody Conservatory, but not both. I am wondering if any of you guys were accepted to both schools.</p>
<p>My S was accepted for the dual degree program by Hopkins and Peabody.</p>
<p>Is this for grad school or undergrad? I'm an IR major but never knew that this program existed.</p>
<p>This is an undergraduate program. It is a rigorous program because one must satisfy the requirements for two degrees at two different institutions. It takes at least 5 years. My s decided to go to UCLA where he can be in the opera program and double major in music and an academic subject in arts and sciences and he can complete this program in four years.</p>
<p>i'm doing dual umich lsa and music</p>
<p>LLJK, im going to be a senior next year, and my dream is to do a dual program at jhu and peabody. However, i dont understand. In addition to getting accepted into both schools, you have to also get accepted to the program? Or is it that you get to do the dual program if you get accepted to both schools? </p>
<p>frecklybeckly, i also want to do dual with umich and music if i get rejecteed to jhu. which i probably will. lol. may i ask what you sats were? i only have a 1790....1200 equiv. to the old SAT. I think that will hinder me from getting in. Music should not be a problem for me. At least, I hope not. lol. Im just worried about LSA. Thanks!!</p>
<p>You need to be accepted by both and be accepted as a double major. Some applicants are accepted by both, can decide on either, but are not accepted as double major.</p>
<p>I should have stated this more positively. You do need to be accepted by both schools and accepted as a double major. I wouldn't worry about double major acceptance. My D was solid at Peabody, but in the lower 25% at Homewood. She received 4 acceptances: Peabody, Homewood, double major at both, and double major in recording arts and performance at Peabody.</p>
<p>crazyviolin, </p>
<p>i applied to jhu, michigan, and an assortment of other dual degree programs. michigan's program is far superior to jhu's or columbia-juilliard's, which was just cancelled after i applied. i say this sans bias, but rather with a knowledge of the faculty and opportunities at each university. </p>
<p>my sat was a 1450, and my target college was not part of a dual degree. i was more interested in a generally academic undergrad education, but we play the cards we're dealt. best of luck. </p>

<p>thanks for the comments...wow. i just hope that i can get into jhu academically. My sats are sooo low. =( . Is Umich really harder to get into than Juilliard? The music faculty for Umich is quite good...but i'd be really surprised if it were more selective than Juilliard. Eh, i didnt even get into the Juilliard Pre-college program, so Juilliard is pretty much out of question for me. What other dual degree programs are there?</p>
<p>edad, may i ask what your daughter's sats were? Im going to do early decision to jhu for arts and sciences. I was also wondering if my music could have any influence upon my evaluation for jhu like sending in a CD of my playing. But i dont know where to send it to since jhu doesnt have a music department other than Peabody. So is it possible to send in a cd of my playing to Peabody, and if the director likes it, can the director influence my acceptance to Jhu academically? But im also auditioning to Peabody, so i dont know if its really necessary. lol. Im currently studying with a teacher on the Peabody faculty, so that helps my acceptance for Peabody, but im not sure about JHU.</p>
<p>Sorry, I cannot post the SAT scores. If you do not already know, I can give you a rough idea. The average SAT for this years admissions was 1400. My guess is that it would take about 1300 or high 1200's on the old SAT to be considered for double degree. Sorry, but you cannot do an EA at JHU for double degree. The admissions directors confer on DD applicants. You can bet that acceptance at Peabody is a big plus for the JHU admission. I was told that most of the DD applicants who are not accepted did not pass the auditions. The audition process is a little different than for other conservatories. The judges concentrate on deciding if the applicant belongs at Peabody and appear to have veto power, regardless of the audition. The judges were familiar with the entire application and spent time in discussion. The audition performance is graded 1-10, which determines not only cuts for acceptance but also any merit awards. Peabody has a high acceptance rate for a conservatory, over 50%. I think you still need to be pretty good to be accepted, probably not much below the level needed for MSM or Eastman but of course substantially below Curtis and Juilliard. </p>
<p>The acceptance rate at JHU is also a bit misleading. The rate has been about 50% for EA and 30% overall. Acceptance is still not easy. It appears that JHU gets a relatively small number of applicants but the applicants are highly qualified. JHU also appears to be very selective in looking for the right type of student. Many applicants with SAT's well over 1400, or even 1500, are not accepted. They are looking not just for smarts, but for disciplined and motivated individuals. Success in music fits their profile and is certainly worth 100's of SAT points.</p>
<p>thanks so much for the information. It brought a hugee relief to me now that i know my acceptance to Peabody will help my admission for JHU. Im pretty confident that i will get into Peabody, because Im up to the level where i am aiming for Juilliard, but its more of a reach conservatory for me. Also, my teacher tells me that i definitely can get into Peabody. I know that i cant do early decision into the dual degree program, but is it possible to do early decision for JHU's arts and sciences, and then audition regular for Peabody, and if i get into both, apply for the dual degree program? Because i think the acceptance rate for early decision is higher than the decision for regular decision. Ahh, 1300 on sats?! i guess i really have to study hard now. Thanks again by the way. These questions have been in my mind for months.</p>
<p>ED may not improve your chances. JHU does not keep a high SAT admit average by accepting a lot of students on ED with low SAT's. You do not want to be with the 50% rejected. I would check with JHU admissions before applying ED. You may need the music gods to help you and you don't want to already have a rejection. Rather than reject, you want them to hold your application, pending Peabody auditions. You may also want to make contacts and ask for advice from the department where you would like to major.</p>
