<p>S has selected Oberlin double degree. They increased merit to 10K which helped a bit. What a year and what a process and what a great result.</p>
<p>drumbonemom and Pianofam, good luck to your respective Sons.</p>
<p>Congratulations to ohmusicmom and daughter for daughter’s acceptances (instrument and major as of yet unspecified) to Bowling Green State University and to the University of Cincinnati CCM, as noted on another thread.</p>
<p>Son accepted to all he applied to and has decided to attend UNT - Jazz Studies (guitar). Now if I can just figure out how to get all his stuff from Chicago to Texas!</p>
<p>My son’s in good company, randmsan! He also decided on UNT. I know it will be a challenge, the far from Texas transport which we have to do too. I’m sure there’s probably someplace else on this forum with hints. Going to PM you about other UNT matters to compare notes, re: orientation and housing.</p>
<p>randmsan, congrats and good luck to your son. If you care to list his other acceptances, I’ll add them to the list as well.</p>
<p>And good luck to your son as well JazzTromboneMom.</p>
<p>Congratulations to JMOmom and daughter for daughter’s acceptances for violin performance at Carnegie Mellon University and at Eastman (as part of a double degree program in humanities at U Rochester), as noted on another thread.</p>
<p>randmsan…when you figure that out, please share,lol! Congrats!</p>
<p>Additional congratulations to JMOmom and daughter for acceptances in violin performance to Oberlin, NYU, Vanderbilt and U Texas Austin, as reported on another thread.</p>
<p>D has finally decided - Vanderbilt - Blair School of Music for cello performance. </p>
<p>D is very happy with her decision - so after the long and winding road of auditions/travel/academics it has all been worth the effort…</p>
<p>This forum has been a gold mine of helpful information. Many thanks to all who contribute.</p>
<p>Best of luck everyone for the incoming class of musicians 2015 !</p>
<p>Congratulations to celloliz and daughter.</p>
<p>final decision: D will attend Frost at Univ of Miami for her BM in flute performance, with Stamps Scholarship for all 4 years (tuition, fees, room and board); 51,182 = value for first year</p>
<p>Congratulations to mtpaper and daughter.</p>
<p>I was wondering why we don’t also list the schools not accepted to on the master list by member posting. That might help to inform people of how competitive different schools are in a given year. Just a suggestion that I think might help others.</p>
<p>from post #490 of this thread:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow, mtpaper, congrats on your D’s amazing scholarship!</p>
<p>Pianofam,</p>
<p>mtpaper pointed to part of the reason. The other part is that I a reluctant to add even a little more traffic to a thread that consistently tops out at over 1000 posts and has already done so this year. Furthermore, violadad and I have enough to do to keep up with just the acceptances. If you think a rejections thread is valuable enough to start and maintain, by all means have at it.</p>
<p>Yep, what he (and mtpaper) said.</p>
<p>Final decision: my step brother will be attending Lawrence University (WI). He is a piano performance major (bm).</p>
<p>He was also accepted at Minnesota - Twin Cites, Wisconsin - Madison, Wisconsin - Eau Claire, and Iowa.</p>
<p>I plan to start a rejections thread after all my kids are rich and famous. I plan to call it “So there!”</p>
<p>Just kidding. But congrats to everyone for all the good news coming in.</p>
