<p>My son has been running out to meet the postman last couple days. No envelope today from NEC. This is one my son has been waiting the most out of 8 schools.</p>
<p>Congratulations to ierickson and son, and to tubadad94 and son. Also, congratulations to JazzUp for acceptances to BM in Composition programs at Berklee College of Music, Boston Conservatory, California Institute of the Arts, New England Conservatory and the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, as noted on another thread.</p>
<p>ierickson, I presume the NYU acceptance is for Steinhardt. Please let me know if that is not the case. Is the Bard acceptance for a BA in the College or a BM in the Conservatory? If the latter, what will be the major for the BA in the college?</p>
<p>Finally!</p>
<p>My S was accepted to University of New Hampshire - BA in composition (however they are transitioning to a BM in composition hopefully next year) on piano. In addition he has been accepted to Hartt for the 5 year double major (BM) Music Technology Production and Composition with piano as his instrument. </p>
<p>Not a fun decision for us. These programs are very different and so is the tuition. This is going to be an interesting month for sure.</p>
<p>Congratulations to mom2winds and son.</p>
<p>crazymommusic - do you know if they were acceptances to the dual degree program? or did they just hear from Hopkins? I do know that Hopkins sent their decisions out yesterday</p>
<p>D heard from Johns Hopkins last night (rejected) but no mention of the dual degree program with Peabody.
Eastman - waitlisted
Blair - waitlisted
U Mass Amherst - accepted</p>
<p>Hi, my daughter was just accepted to Roosevelt University Chicago College of the Performing Arts</p>
<p>D accepted to Peabody! just received email - good luck to everyone waiting on Peabody</p>
<p>sorry her acceptance was in vocal performance</p>
<p>accepted and attending Peabody. BM transfer Vocal Performance!!</p>
<p>Congratulations to violinmimi and daughter, doctorlove and daughter, and mezzolove,</p>
<p>Son received $20K music scholarship today from University of New Hampshire. We are still waiting on financial aid packages.</p>
<p>Here are the results from my child. I included everything in the hopes it gives some clarity to a very subjective admissions process for Undergraduate Composition. (GTR/PNO)</p>
<p>Boco Yes Big merit grant
CMU Yes no merit grant
Curtis No on Pre-screen
Eastman No on Pre-Screen
Ithaca Yes small merit grant
Juilliard Yes small merit grant
Mannes Yes No merit grant
NEC Yes Moderate merit grant
NYU No
Peabody Yes Moderate merit grant</p>
<p>No decision has been made on attendance.</p>
<p>Peabody acceptance! Bm viola</p>
<p>Son accepted at JHU/Peabody for B.M. Jazz Performance [trumpet].</p>
<p>Now that Peabody is in, I can comfortably wish everyone congratulations on their acceptances!</p>
<p>Congratulations to MusicMomNY and son, lovetheviola, TrumpetDad and son, and to Sidecut and progeny. SideCut, if you are willing to tell us whether this is a son or a daughter, please do. I suppose the student’s sex mostly matters for vocal performance majors, where the odds of acceptance are much more heavily stacked against the young ladies, but it might still be valuable to know should this data set ever be used to analyze gender-related trends among music majors.</p>
<p>congrats to all. What an accomplished group of musicians (and supportive parents)!</p>
<p>Congratulations for everyone for acceptances. Great job on dealing with such tough process of auditioning. Other students applying to regular academic programs have no idea what music majors have to go through and the extra expenses this auditioning process can cost. My son had 8 auditions to schools, 3 summer camp auditions, and 4 competitions (some national) in 2 months. The auditions were not only emotionally hard but also physically grueling traveling day after day, city to city. Now it is almost over (we still haven’t received an official offer from NEC) and we have to make the big decision soon. Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>I have a very unusual musical background. Eight years of theory training, but started primary instrument as high school sophomore. No music classes at school whatever. Excellent grades and test scores. I applied to fairly selective composition programs with a whopping six months of composing experience. Here’s how it turned out.</p>
<p>Blair School of Music: Acceptance with full-tuition merit scholarship
Stanford: Acceptance
Carnegie Mellon: Offered priority waitlist
University of Florida: Acceptance
Oberlin Conservatory: rejection
Lawrence University: rejection</p>
<p>Composition auditions are pretty subjective, eh? I think I did pretty well, though.</p>
