<p>Almost…still waiting for that last one, however, all her teachers have decided for her, lol!</p>
<p>I have received all of my results, and happily decided to go to the school that was my top choice. </p>
<p>The weird thing is, I got accepted to all the schools that were my top choices (even with big scholarships!), but not to the one that was my back up. I had to choose 3 teachers as my preference on the application and had a lesson with 2 of them prior to the audition.
The teachers seemed to be very interested in me - especially the one whom I put down as my 2nd choice made me feel like it is pretty much certain that I would get into his studio.<br>
However, I got the rejection letter from them, and was in shock. I know some people going to that school, and they told me that if my first choice doesn’t accept me, then I have a very small chance of getting into other teachers’ studio. Is it usually true that professors care so much about their “rank” on a student’s application? My understanding was that most school pick all the students who were to be accepted and then figure out who is going to study with who. I honestly think if I put down my 2nd choice teacher first, I definitely would have had a better chance. However, if each teacher was going to only accept the ones who put down his name first, what is the point of having us to indicate multiple teachers on the application?</p>
<p>Going through the audition process can be confusing in so many ways!</p>
<p>ananasbananas13, yes it is true in some schools, but not others. My daughter was told explicitly by a professor at one conservatory (violin) that he would not accept anyone who listed him second on the teacher preference form.</p>
<p>glassharmonica, I am a violin performance major as well. It is disappointing to know that some teachers would rather keep their high ego than accepting as many good students as possible. I don’t see how it is going to be more beneficial for their studio or for the school as a whole.</p>
<p>Ananasbananas13,</p>
<p>We would love to know which school you decided on so that it can go into the database.</p>
<p>There is a lot of judgment and, in some cases, a lot of ego involved in the music world. If the worst that ever happens because of it is that you were not accepted to one school that was at the bottom of your list, then count yourself lucky. Being disturbed by one rejection when you have three great acceptances that include your first choice might in itself seem a touch egotistical to those who were not so fortunate.</p>
<p>^It is also possible that each prof was given the opportunity to make the final decision for admit for strictly the # of spaces they had in their own studio – in which case, the prof would naturally want to select the student that listed their studio as first choice, assuming the quality were equal among the shortlisted applicants.</p>
<p>^Bassdad, believe she said earlier UMich for MM</p>
<p>kmcmom, you are absolutely correct. When I looked, we had already entered UMich for the decision. With nearly 500 acceptances, I’m starting to lose track of who has told me what.</p>
<p>Hey, bassdad, you’re doing great. I can’t even remember where I put my socks this morning. Which in part, coupled with spring fever, has me wearing sandals today ;)</p>
<p>Hello mezzogirl - you obviously have tremendous talent. why wouldn’t you accept the Juilliard offer? I note you were also accepted at NEC … what is your opinion of that school and why would you not consider it? My daughter, a soprano, has had no where near the good fortune in acceptances but did get a good “nod” from NEC. Any advice? Thanks so much.</p>
<p>I know three students at Berklee. It is more a “contemporary” school … if you are of an “alternative” mind and want to explore and than follow “en suite” then Berklee is for you. My daughter is a classical singer and does justice to Debussy’s “Green”. Her friend at Berklee would tackle Poulenc. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>My S was accepted today into East Carolina University’s Music School for Composition and Music Theory, piano.</p>
<p>Congratulations to kcreative and son.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Dwhidden for acceptances to New England Conservatory, MM Choral Conducting and to Boston Conservatory, Master of Music Education, as noted in another thread.</p>
<p>Finally cleared general admissions at UT Austin so now I’m officially accepted as a transfer for Violin Performance!</p>
<p>S accepted to Case Western Reserve as a Music Performance Major (saxophone). Will double major with Aerospace Engineering, possibly a double degree. Applied music lessons taken at CIM. $17,500 academic scholarship.</p>
<p>Also received a 24,000 academic scholarship at Frost</p>
<p>Congratulations, gyoun09.</p>
<p>Congratulations, 10smomic and son. I am going to enter this as a dual degree. The CWRU website says that it is possible to double major with any other field within the College of Arts and Sciences, but I do not see anything that says you can get a BA in music combined with a second major in engineering without actually getting a separate degree in engineering. The Engineering School offers a BS in aerospace engineering but I could not find anything that said that music could be a added as a second major to a BS degree. I do, however, see the possibility of getting the BA in music and the BS in engineering. It appears to me that the engineering department only offers the BS to undergrads and the college only offers the BA to performance majors or a BS to music education majors. It is not apparent how you would get either a single BA or a single BM with majors in both music performance and aerospace engineering.</p>
<p>So happy today with great news we’ve been waiting and waiting for. S finally accepted to IU and now could hear about the music. S accepted at Jacobs for Jazz Studies on saxophone. Still waiting on scholarship award news from UNT and Jacobs.</p>
<p>Congrats again to jazzmom2553 and Son.</p>
<p>Congrats jazzmom2553 and son. My s is in the jazz program at IU and absolutely loves it.</p>
