@oboeboy1917 CMU has an awesome music program. Congratulations!! Not every school my S applied to offered audio engineering as a major. So he’s been accepted to a few schools for Comp Sci, and some of them offer a minor in music tech/audio engineering. He was waitlisted at Clemson in their performing arts school. He likes IU and was really hoping to get into JSOM. If he can take CS at IU for a year then transfer into JSOM, as a sophomore, he might consider that, but not sure where he’ll end up at this point.
@sunnysar Are you referring to the Class of 2023, the Tours, the Journey? If there’s another thread, if you wouldn’t mind sharing the name of it or a link, I’d appreciate it. Thanks. And again, congratulations to your D and best of luck. I hope we hear tomorrow so we can just move forward.
@RMSqueencat Yes and no. That is a thread in the music major forum. There is a wealth of information from past parents too. You can search the forum and might be able to find others with sons major. Fingers crossed you hear positive news today.
@oboeboy1917 Congratulations on Lawrence and CMU! Great schools!
Thank you @sunnysar Yesterday, we received an email “Explore Your Options at IU.” I don’t think we would have received that email if he had been accepted into JSOM. So, while we wait for the official word in the mail, I think we have our answer. Complicates his decision on where to go that’s for sure.
@sunnysar Thank you! I just checked and I’m in at CMU for sure! Hopefully, this makes it easier for a JSOM rejection to just roll off of my back! 
We’ll see if the letter comes in the mail today.
@oboeboy1917 Great news!! Congratulations! Best of luck at CMU - a damn fine school
@RMSqueencat Thanks so much! I’m just waiting on financial aid info. It’s still a waiting game, I guess!
@RMSqueencat Frustrating! Why on earth they don’t send an email even a few days after the result is mailed out is crazy! This is the only school that sent it regular mail only.
Nothing again. It’s so frustrating to be waiting until APRIL when I was promised beginning to mid-March.
I highly recommend both of you try calling Jacobs admissions. They sent my letter to my email during the phone call.
The letter arrived today. My son is at work so I have to wait to see what it says, but I suspect it’s a rejection. He had already been accepted to IU, so we weren’t expecting the big red envelope. Still, small envelopes usually don’t contain good news ?
@RMSqueencat My music acceptances have all been in small envelopes, so don’t count it out yet!
It’s confirmed - my S was denied from JSOM. He is as disappointed as I’ve ever seen him. Terrible that he had to wait so long to find out. His options now are only to minor in audio engineering at a few schools that accepted him into their Comp Sci programs. If he wants to go to IU, I think he has to go in as Exploratory, then maybe he can transfer into JSOM as a sophomore. We will contact them tomorrow and get some info as to what his options are at IU. Best of luck to everyone. Our hellish journey continues.
@oboeboy1917 Did you ever hear? I finally got my physical rejection letter on Saturday. It was dated 3/21, but the stamp was dated 3/27….
@albertsax I was denied. I don’t really care at this point, though. I’m going to CMU.
