<p>did anyone who auditioned for the school of music hear yet?</p>
<p>Yes!!! I heard today by checking my account online. I got into the jazz performance studies and im stoked.</p>
<p>wow congrats! when did you audition?</p>
<p>I auditioned on febuary 17th</p>
<p>dang, I was waitlisted. Does anyone know how hard it is to get in after being waitlisted to the school of music?</p>
<p>I'm really not sure because in part they admit by instrument--that is, they aim for a certain number of students in each area. </p>
<p>With most waitlist situations, any drop in expected yield is a help to people on the waitlist. Every student who says "no" ups their chance of being offered a spot. </p>
<p>However, I'm guessing Music is a little different--your chances are only bettered if people in your area say no. If all the admitted oboeists say "no," they're going to take an oboeist off the waitlist, and that doesn't help the percussionists or the violinists on the waitlist. So take what information you get from others on CC with a grain of salt! Unless they know about violinists, they likely don't have useful or reliable info.</p>
<p>thanks. But I'm discouraged because I heard on CC that Umich hasnt taken anyone from the waitlist in four years or something because they always accept more than they want. Last year I know that 2 people said "no" for violin but none of the waitlisted students were accepted. I really wanted to go, so I'm extremely disappointed.</p>
<p>Well, we won't know about the waitlist for sure until after May 1. I'm sorry if it doesn't work out for you--I hope it does.</p>
<p>wait...but the deadline for my other colleges as well as umich is also may 1st. How does this work? The results of the waitlist is after may 1st, but I have to send in the deposits by may 1st?</p>
<p>Generally speaking "waitlist" means you're not accepted, but if the institution doesn't make its class it may accept you after all. Schools usually can't know whether or not the class is full until all the deposits are in (May 1). So waitlisted students (generally) make plans to attend somewhere else (including making a deposit somewhere else). If an offer to be admitted then comes, the student has to decide whether they want to attend the school enough to lose the deposit they made elsewhere.</p>
<p>That's how U-M's overall waitlist works (the one for LSA, for example).</p>
<p>Granted, Music may find out before May 1, since it's looking on an instrument-by-instrument basis. It's only having to track the deposits of a handful of people per instrument, and if the admittees who don't want to come give Michigan a firm no before May 1 (as opposed to letting Michigan know by simply not sending in the deposit) then Music could go to the waitlist earlier.</p>
