<p>Tufts/NEC, Harvard/NEC, Columbia/Juilliard require separate academic admission to the academic institution, and a music portfolio or audition based admission to the conservatory. There then is a separate decision to allow a student to participate in the joint program. You can be accepted at both NEC and Harvard, and still not make it into the joint program. Note that these are beyond highly selective. Note also that these joint programs entail studying at two distinct unrelated unaffiliated institutions.</p>

<p>This is a bit different than Hopkins/Peabody, Oberlin College/Conservatory, URochester/Eastman. These are separate yet affiliated conservatory programs under the umbrella of a parent institution. There typically is one application with an additional conservatory app/audition. It is possible to be admitted to the conservatory musically, but denied academic admission to the university, yet still study at the attached conservatory, or vice versa be admitted academically but declined for conservatory admissions.</p>

<p>The parameters vary, and a thorough reading of the specific policies and procedures for each is required.</p>
