<p>Wish I was starting this off with happier news. The dreaded thin envelope was waiting when we got back from D's lesson today. Eastman, rejected, violin performance. She doesn't seem too upset. Eastman was fifth choice of the five she applied to and she didn't think her audition had gone well. Still, I think the stress level just went up a couple of notches.</p>
<p>no worries. except for the BBQ place, who needs it! Too cold, too much snow.</p>
<p>D just got her acceptance letter from the University of Tennessee.</p>
<p>D's been accepted to Miami-Ohio for violin performance. (I know; not in the same league as other posters' schools, but hey, she didn't intend to even apply for music - they came after her. So it's all good.)</p>
<p>StringMom-Tell your D to keep her chin up. Being rejected from your 5th choice can be almost as bad as being rejected from your first. It puts a lot of self-doubt in your head. I wasn't impressed w/ the general location of Eastman when we visited anyway. She will get a better offer.</p>
<p>Binx and Wharfrat2 - Congratulations to your D's</p>
<p>Not a college acceptance but my D was notified that she is an alternate for the NYSSSA Summer Orchestra program. Disappointing but better than a rejection and ofc, considering that she had mono during the audition and we only decided the day before that she would audition. Hopefully she is able to attend.</p>
<p>DD accepted to Vanderbilt, Blair School of Music, Viola Performance. The letter came today!</p>
<p>Might I suggest that we follow past conventions for threads like this one and create a running summary of entries by adding your entry to the top of the list and copying everyone else's below it, like so:</p>
<p>RedHerring's D: viola performance - Vanderbilt, Blair School of Music
binx' D: violin performance - Miami-Ohio
wharfrat2's D: major unspecified - U Tennessee
StringMom's D: violin performance - Eastman (rejected)</p>
<p>It gets a little unwieldy if there are a lot of entries, but I think this community is of a size where it will not get out of hand. Of course, there is no need to copy the whole list if you are just sending congratulations or condolences.</p>
<p>Actually I should have included my D is going to be a music education major</p>
