<p>Momofbassist, it was sopranomom92’s D <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/897086-things-we-learned-music-application-process.html?highlight=things+learned[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/897086-things-we-learned-music-application-process.html?highlight=things+learned</a>
as detailed in the first post there.</p>
<p>Back in the beginning when we began the Master Lists, we also included rejections if they were reported. If you scan the '07 Master Acceptances thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/310197-master-list-music-school-acceptances.html?highlight=Master[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/310197-master-list-music-school-acceptances.html?highlight=Master</a>, there are a few “odd” accepted here/rejected there combinations.</p>
<p>Just a thought, particularly in smaller programs or studios with limited openings where the applied faculty will teach music ed and performance majors is that it is very conceivable that a very strong music ed candidate may win out over an equal or potentially greater performance applicant. One thing to remember is that EACH department may have specific needs, and requirements to maintain an optimum mix.</p>
<p>And this summation I had compiled in an unrelated thread applies to the OP’s point as well: </p>
