<p>Thanks for update CMM</p>
<p>New scholarship info from IU:</p>
<p>$2000/yr Dean’s Scholarship
$9000/yr Jacobs School of Music Academic Excellence Award</p>
<p>Congratulations, RoKr93. Is that in addition to or in place of the $1000 already reported?</p>
<p>D declined her spot at three schools last night, since she has it narrowed down to two. She wanted to give others a shot from wait lists, and maybe the scholarship money can be reallocated to someone. She was a little surprised how hard it was to compose the letters to the profs; most were quite helpful and she felt a little bad. </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone getting decisions tonight!</p>
<p>Just got my scholarship notification from IU Jacobs. It’s $17500 ($15000 - 1st prize in High School Composition Competition, $2500 - Dean’s scholarship) a year. Considering they don’t usually offer high amount of scholarship to internationals, I think I did a fine job :D</p>
<p>Just accepted to New England Conservatory for a BM in composition! :)</p>
<p>S just received acceptance from Thorton School of Music Performance Major (Popular Music). Please also add Bard College BA Music to the list as well. Waiting to hear from USC was a bit torturous because they will not post their acceptances online and only sent out notices on Tuesday (except for the lucky ones like Squiggles and S) who heard very early). He applied to 4 schools and was accepted to all so now he has some great options. Contests to all the acceptances. Seems like so many people are celebrating this week! It will be interesting to see where everyone ends up going.</p>
<p>Meant to say congrats to all and not “contests” in last post. It was an automatic spell check.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Junebugxpn, musician34, and poprockmom and son.</p>
<p>poprockmom, I see we have your son down already for piano as a primary instrument at one school and voice at another. What should we use for USC and for Bard?</p>
<p>Congratulations to all, especially, of course the composers. :)</p>
<p>And Musician34 - you have a hard choice before you between NEC and Bard College. Congrats. (Guess it will really come down to whether or not you want a conservatory vs a liberal arts college experience. And big city vs. rural.)</p>
<p>Thank you SpiritManager; I hope that visiting will provide some clarification!
And congratulations to everyone else as well!</p>
<p>S accepted NYU Steinhardt BM, Jazz Studies, Piano</p>
<p>@BassDad, at Bard he didn’t apply to the conservatory so there was no audition. He would just be a BA in music. At Thorton he auditioned as a singer/songwriter for their popular music program playing piano and singing. Does that make sense? I don’t mean to sound confusing.</p>
<p>Congratulations once again to squiggles1118 and son.</p>
<p>poprockmom, regardless of what he did or did not audition on, I like to have a single primary instrument or voice to add to the list. Does he happen to favor one over the other or spend more time playing vs singing? If so, we will use that. If they are pretty evenly divided, then we could use voice/piano.</p>
<p>BassDad, My son is a singer/songwriter at Thornton and would probably say that the songwriting is what will distinguish his future the most (his theory is lots of great voices and pianists but your songs are uniquely yours). Not sure where you want to go with this but poprockmom’s son may have gotten in as much for his songwriting as his “instruments” as his audition would have featured his own songs. Singer/songwriter is probably 20-25% of the Thornton Popular Music Program admits.</p>
<p>And big congrats to poprockmom’s son and his parents! PM me if you want some insight from a parent about Thornton popular music program. Sounds like your son has the problem of choosing among great options.</p>
<p>Son accepted at NYU/Steinhardt for B.M. Jazz Studies [trumpet].</p>
<p>$13,260/yr. Steinhardt Scholarship.</p>
<p>Accepted to nyu steinhardt for viola bm major with 32,500 steinhardt scholarship !! And updated scholarship info for cu boulder: 30 k per year</p>
<p>wow! lovetheviola congrats!----What will it be? —the canyons of NYC or the Mountains of Boulder!?</p>
<p>S just found out he is in Juilliard but wouldn’t know which violin studio he is in until April 9th. I guess he won’t be able to make his decision where he will be foing until he hears from Juilliard. I thought our waiting will be over by this weekend but now we will have to wait 10 more days!</p>
<p>BassDad, those IU scholarships are in addition to the previous $1000. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
