Pre-Screening Results 2008-2009

<p>Best wishes for your mom's speedy recovery, Theperformer, and so sorry about your son's dx, Music4us. Hope his last auditions go really well, now that his blood sugars are under control!</p>

<p>Still haven't heard about Graduate Jazz prescreen results on Purchase and NYU Steinhardt, I think it's really late to this point... Is it possible that they don't communicate if you don't pass the prescreen and the application is rejected?
I thinks I will call on monday but have very low hope about theese schools, it sound strange because I've passed the prescreen at Manhattan School that is much more competitive and selective school.</p>

<p>The Turtle, it's possible that they don't communicate, but I find that unlikely. At this late point you need to find out one way or another. </p>

<p>Is it possible that emails were blocked or ended up in your spam folder? Is there no online information admissions tracking portal for either school where status is posted?</p>

<p>I know that you were instructed to go through the Fulbright committee, but the audition date is literally days away.</p>

<p>I would definitely try to get some info on Monday.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Just an update on my mom in the hospital: She's coming home tomorrow! She's feeling much better and we are so happy that she is Ok! :) Thanks for your kind wishes.</p>

<p>theperformer - thank goodness your mom's okay.</p>

<p>theturtle - my son passed one prescreen where they didn't tell us until we asked that he had passed and didn't give him a time and day until we asked again about 10 days before the audition. i would definitely call and ask!</p>

<p>theperformer, glad to hear your mom is on the mend.</p>

<p>BassDad, thanks so much for your post a few pages back, it is so reassuring. And thanks to everyone of the more experienced parents who are continuing to post here. I had planned to start some threads today with questions I have, but I have found every single issue addressed here already--super helpful and encouraging. </p>

<p>Theperformer, I am so glad your mother is better!</p>

<p>Thanks so much for everyone's kind wishes! My mom is feeling so much better and while I was visiting her today she looked pretty great! This is such a stressful time for both her and I and it's nice to know that this forum is just so supportive of everyone involved, whether it has to do with college or not. </p>

<p>You guys are stars. :) Now all I have to do is nail that audition Monday!</p>

<p>So glad she's doing well - wishing you well in the audition.</p>

<p>theperformer- Glad your mom is doing better and will be home soon.And I'm pleased to hear that schools were understanding. You WILL nail that audition on Monday!! Keep us posted!</p>

<p>I've finally called NYU to have some information about my prescreen results for Jazz Graduate Program and an operator told me that auditions are open to every applicant, so there is no selective prescreen, if you want you can go to the college for a live audition or you can choose to use the DVD sent with the application as your only evaluation item.
This sound strange to me, I've found this on NYU website:</p>

<p>"All undergraduate applicants - freshmen and transfers – as well as graduate (masters) applicants must send a pre-screening video recording before an in-person interview. Subsequent to this pre-screening of your video performance, in person audition and interview invitations will be issued to selected applicants."</p>

<p>This refers to a selective process of prescreen, but it's possible that they have changed the procedure, infact this is the first year that NYU has live auditions for jazz, the past years they just wanted a DVD, so maybe they're still changing the admission procedure. the operator told me that I can send another DVD if I want because I can't travel to NY for the audition or simply use the first DVD sent with the application. </p>

<p>I think there is a great confusion, I don't feel very secure... what do you think about this, do you have some more information?</p>

<p>Turtle, I trust the written policy far more than a verbal reply. Call them back, and ask to speak to someone in the graduate MUSIC application process familiar with prescreening/audition parameters.</p>

<p>You don't always get the best info from the clerk answering the phone.</p>

<p>As always, very sage advice from violadad. It sounds like you spoke to someone who doesn't know the drill.</p>

<p>Maybe the clerk thought you were talking about applying for an academic grad program and you were wondering about auditioning for ensembles or something... Give them a call back.</p>

<p>Ok I've got an answer. The Graduate applicants don't have to do a live auditions on campus for NYU, so they will email our results of admission at the end of March, that's good, I have to wait for NYU, Purchase and MSM final results!</p>

<p>Has anyone heard back from BU about their prescreening for voice yet? I applied for the regular decision, but my SAT scores just got there. Do you know if they wait for your application to be complete before they listen to your prescreening materials?</p>

<p>SingingGal - You’re on an old thread. Look one above for this year.</p>
