<p>My son recently auditioned for jazz studies at Steinhardt and today received an email from the head of jazz dept. saying that his audition score was excellent and "While this email is not an offer of admission from the university, we believe that good news is very likely from NYU by April 1st."</p>
<p>I've asked on the music major forum as well, but it seems this is a new thing.</p>
<p>We know that admissions is a joint decision between Steinhardt Jazz and NYU Admissions, but do you think we should take this as very good news? Has anyone else received this email?</p>
