Interlochen Summer program

I know many of you just finished with Unified for your kids. I’m guessing that might be us in a few years. My D is a freshman in HS and this thread is invaluable! We finished her application for Interlochen and decided to apply for both the MT 3 week workshop as well as singer songwriter (which is her passion). Now we wait for the decision.

I honestly don’t know how she stacks up versus the competition. I think she’s pretty good but then again I’m her Mom! I’ve been in pretty good communication with someone at Interlochen and asked that she be considered and a decision made on both programs, not just her first choice. Also checked the box for the merit scholarship at the last minute. Hopefully by asking for that it won’t reduce her chance of admission. Anyone know about the merit scholarship?

They said we should hear in late February. Anyone else out there have apps in for summer programs that have had experience in the past? Love to hear any commentary. :slight_smile:

Last year my son was offered a $500 merit scholarship for the 3 wk program. Not sure what the rates are this year, but last year but would have made ours $3700 (from $4200).

Great thanks! Did he attend? How did he like it? Any idea if asking for it reduces chance of admission or is it just a matter of you’re admitted and either you get it or don’t type of thing? Hope that made sense!

No. He opted for TPAP instead. I don’t recall what the criteria were for scholarship… Sorry. :slight_smile:

anyone out there who applied hear anything yet? Man I’m on pins and needles…anyone know what percentage gets in for MT 3 week workshop and singer songwriter?

Very excited! D got into both programs that she applied for with a merit scholarship to boot! Good luck to everyone out there who applied!

Yay! Congrats!!!

Thank you! Waiting for the formal letter but her portal has been updated with the acceptance as well as a confirmation email from the admissions counselor. :slight_smile:
