<p>to scokithom:</p>
<p>Yes, I received my official letter from Jacobs at IU via Postal service not email… Around March 18, the letter was dated March 11, and my audition was on March 5th.</p>
<p>They said in their letter that a letter offering a music scholarship would follow sometime before April 1st.</p>
<p>I am a piano major - hope this helps. Good Luck.</p>
<p>anansbananas, also MM notification timing often differs from BM. I have seen it both earlier and later than undergrad.</p>
<p>Do any of you know why would he violins take longer? Does that mean the violins might get the letters late as well as he emails?</p>
<p>Thanks. I hope I will hear something from Michigan and CIM as soon as possible. </p>
<p>So far, the only email I got from CIM was about the teacher preference. They asked me if I wanted to change the order or just leave it as it was. Does everyone get this email from them or could it possibly mean something? </p>
<p>Waiting process is so difficult for sure.</p>
<p>Son auditioned to three schools, good, better, best to make sure he would have somewhere to go. Good and better told him at his audition that he was in and would be offered a scholarship but we have heard nothing “official” yet. Best, indeed one if not the best program for him in the country gave official notification that he was accepted last Saturday by snail mail. </p>
<p>Still waiting on financial information from all three to see if this is going to be a financial decision. Rather suprised we have heard nothing yet.</p>
<p>Seems like this process will not end.</p>
<p>rachelee,</p>
<p>As I pointed out above, the violins could be taking longer because there are a lot more applicants and a lot more places to fill than with most instruments. It takes longer to review and decide among, say, 50 applicants for 10 slots than it does for 10 applicants for 2 slots. (Numbers made up to illustrate a point, not to be indicative of actual conditions this year.) There could still be some lively discussion going on about who will be offered the last few violin slots and the admissions office decided not to make everyone else wait for the last violin decision.</p>
<p>I do not know this to be the case, but offer it as a possibility especially since we have not heard of any violins admitted to Oberlin yet. If this is the case, however, both the letters and the emails for the violinists could very well be sent later than those for other instruments.</p>
<p>D officially accepted for BM Jazz Studies (Voice) at Roosevelt CCPA. She was offered a talent scholarship but we’d prefer not to disclose the amount.</p>
<p>It took this long (well over a month) to get the acceptance email after getting the verbal the week after her audition.</p>
<p>Trumpet57, we’d love to include those acceptances in the list if you would care to tell us the schools and degrees involved. We prefer to wait until you have official notification, because at some schools it is possible to be accepted into a studio but not accepted to the school overall.</p>
<p>Congratulations, LGSMom and daughter.</p>

<p>Rejected from Oberlin and Jacobs today, I had a feeling it was coming, especially with the oberlin email thing yesterday, but it’s fairly disappointing, because those were my 2nd and 3rd choices, and actually oberlin was probably my first because berklee isn’t going to happen financially. Not crying over it though, I know I did my best and jazz guitar is extremely niche and those schools take a very limited amount, not to mention I didn’t know anything about jazz before late 2009, so I think to come this far, and be accepted to three schools (waiting on last one) is quite an accomplishment. It just is annoying because Oberlin was easily the most comprehensive with the application, reference letters, audition, theory test etc. and overall I thought I was darn solid, but alas…congrats to everyone that did get in though, such a cool environment. Fingers crossed for CCM, last school to hear from</p>
<p>18karat, sorry to hear that your top choices are not working out. Given that you’d only been playing Jazz a little over a year when you auditioned, getting accepted at Berklee, Capital and Cornish (and maybe CCM) is indeed quite an accomplishment.</p>
<p>S accepted at IU Jacobs for BS Recording Arts–such good news!</p>
<p>Congratulations to thinkingaboutit and son.</p>
