<p>I didnt bring a laptop. I was going to initially and decided last minute that I didnt want to risk it getting broken. The computer labs are probably better than your lap top simply because the computers are pretty new (maybe about 2 years old). They are Mac computers, which I wasnt use to, but you pick up on them quick. Generally, you could get to a computer 80% of the time, as long as you made sure you didnt go during really busy times. Also, its the only air conditioned room in the building (I think) so it was a pretty hot spot to hang out, if you catch my drift. The only thing to keep in mind is if your D has an Ipod, u need to have a way to charge it. I would have died without my Ipod, so I bought an Ipod alarm clock that played my music out loud, charged it, and woke me up in the morning.</p>
<p>oh my gosh. 59 days until carnegie mellon!!!!!!!!! :-)</p>
<p>Hey all of you wonderful mt people!! I have a question for all of you cmu pre-college kids and parents...do any of you know how their music program is? I know....it is cmu....and it should be stupendous!!! My younger d...the flutist...just got her acceptance into the pre-college program. (yeah!) But she has a couple of other acceptances to choose from and the web site does not give a great amount of info on their program. She knows she cannot go wrong with cmu, but just wonders how others felt or if any of you have heard anything. So, if any of you can give some advise, we would greatly appreciate it. We know that cmu is becoming one of the most sought after flute programs in the nation for college, that is what drew her....and, well we know how it is for mt. I will post on the music thread, but this is so much more active. By the way, my older d is a mt major, so that is why I am still here on this mt thread!!
Thanks in advance for the advice!!!! :D</p>
<p>nothing, huh? :(</p>
<p>notfromme, sorry that no one has answered you -- yet! My guess is someone who knows something may answer once the week is underway. I would recommend going to the "summer programs" thread that is more general and found on the main CC forums page. Or, check to see if there are any threads about this under the general CMU thread on CC.</p>
<p>Thanks NotMomaRose!<br>
I just thought I would try here. I will just wait...I know you are out there!!!! :D</p>
<p>Sorry if this has been asked already-
How many people get into the voice program? I sent mine the first week of April (I procrastinated a little too much) and am waiting to hear from them still. Is it very competitive?</p>
<p>Not sure how many they take for voice, but it is my understanding it is extremely competitve for music. You can call them to check on your standings. They are very eager to help and will tell you where you are in the process. My d applied around the same time as you and recieved her acceptance package this past week. (but she is instrumental, not voice) I did call earlier...about a week earlier, and they told me she was accepted. Best wishes to you!</p>
