Blair School of Music

<p>I haven't seen a thread on Blair School of Music for 2012 yet. Does anybody know when results will come out? I heard they usually come earlier than regular admissions. I'm so nervous! Vanderbilt is my top choice and I really really want to get in. Does anybody know how competitive your academics need to be for Blair? I think I had a fairly good audition with pretty good feedback but my academics are definitely on the lower side. I have around a 3.6 uw(very rigorous courseload) and a 2100 SAT. I'm hoping that's enough though:/. Good luck to everybody waiting for their results! :)</p>

<p>Do they usually come earlier? I hadn’t heard that, awesome! Vandy’s my top choice too and it is SUCH a long wait. Umm they look at your application as a whole. As in, both your audition and academics are looked at. A 2100 and 3.6 is not bad at all, especially if you had good ECs and your application showed that you challenged yourself. Best of luck!</p>

<p>I have stayed in contact with the professor I auditioned for, and he emailed me today telling me that I have been accepted. It’s pretty exciting and he told me that the letter should be coming next week. You shouldn’t be worried about your GPA/SAT (I personally got a 2100, 32 ACT), if your audition and theory test went well and you aren’t a disaster academically (which you clearly aren’t), I think you’ll be fine! Good luck!</p>

<p>Congrats ZazieRainyday! May I ask what instrument you play? I’m really nervous though because I didn’t have the opportunity of flying to Vanderbilt and auditioning live. The Assistant Dean of Admissions, Dwayne Sagen, recorded my audition at a regional audition and told me that I was a very impressive player and went out of his way to find my parents to let them know that(fingers crossed that is a good thing!). I’m hoping that not auditioning live won’t hurt me too much :(.</p>

<p>Thank you! I’m a classical guitarist hoping to dual major at Vanderbilt if I go there. I flew out to audition personally, but I don’t think a recording will hurt at all. I think that anybody going out of their way to express their appreciation for your playing is a good thing! I wouldn’t worry about the live audition thing, best of luck!</p>

<p>Admissions results for Blair are supposed to be mailed out tomorrow, at least that’s what Dean Sagen told me at my regional audition.</p>

<p>I got an email from the trumpet professor last night informing me that not only did I get in, but they’re offering me at $25,000 scholarship as well. He said the official admissions info would be out soon.</p>

<p>Is that $25,000 per year scholie at Blair afsd94? Great!</p>

<p>Congrats afsd94 that is quite an amazing offer! Has anybody gotten anything in the mail yet? And has anybody gotten in before without being contacted by the professor(s) earlier?</p>

<p>Hi everyone-I enjoyed reading you guys posts! I applied to Vandy (more out of parental pressure than anything) as it was/is not my first, second, or third choice. The Blair School just seemed kinda drab to me (maybe because it was raining all that day) and I did not get a great vibe from my audition panel (Im a vocalist). Northwestern was my first choice (deferred), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was my second (admitted) and Michigan (admitted) was my third.</p>

<p>It will be interesting to see if I get admitted to Vandy or not, I guess the letter will be arrive Monday or Tuesday. But even if admitted my parents cannot afford the outrageous tuition!</p>

<p>I wish everyone the best of luck.</p>

<p>Thanks! :slight_smile: I just received the official admissions letter from Blair. I believe it said that the full admissions packet from Vanderbilt should be received by April 1st.</p>

<p>You received it on a Sunday?</p>

<p>I still haven’t heard from Blair or the school itself :confused: Has anyone else heard anything yet?</p>

<p>Nothing in the mailbox - no call either. Anyone else?</p>

<p>No, I got the letter from Blair on Saturday. I got my official letter/packet from Vanderbilt on Monday. As far as region goes, I’m in Florida.</p>
