SUBMITTED MY APP!
YAY!!! I’m surprised there haven’t been many comments on this post!
My daughter sent her app this week she is applying to the Blair School of Music. Anyone apply to Blair?
Submitted my app, counting down the days for my rejection letter
Anyone know when we get the email to open our Vanderbilt portal?
Mine came about 18 hours after I submitted my app!
Ahh I’m so excited! I got contacted for an interview!
lets get this bread!
4.0 UW / 1560 SAT (760/800)
770 USH 750 Chem
13 AP’s: eight are 5’s and five are 4’s
Bad ec’s - just piano/band/club sports/volunteering/internship (related to major)

Low representation of my region hopefully comes thru tho
I signed up for Corps interview but tbh I hope I don’t get it, afraid ima say something wrong lol
How does Vanderbilt notify you when an interview spot opens up? I sent mine 3 days ago and clicked yes on the CoRPS interview link, but I still haven’t gotten any response. Thanks!
Someone will email you. I got a response last Thursday- about 11 days after I sent my request. It all depends on if there’s an interviewer in your area.
My daughter also applied to Blair ED. Does anyone know how they get in touch about whether you get an audition? By email?
@cannotfindaname They send an email for an invitation to audition day. Once you RSVP, they’ll send you your schedule. The decisions are rolling, and I think the last day for them to be sent is the 15th.
Thank you!!
My interview went so well!
@2023voicestudent - what do you mean by “decisions are rolling”?
Is the interview option still available or is it too late? I can’t seem to find where to sign up. And if I don’t sign up for an interview, will it hurt my application?
@bluedog25 I don’t think it will hurt your application, because the ability to get an interview is all due to the availibity of the alumni in your area and not due to the school’s interest in you. A few years ago, when my brother applied, he was given an interviewer, but the alumni never ended up reaching out to him. My brother brought it up with his admissions representative and they said that it just happens sometimes. I think they know that their interview process falls through a lot and so they won’t let it influence their impression of you and your demonstrated interest.
@holdenc12 The music school will release their decisions about an invitation to audition day at different times, instead of to each person at the same time. So after you send in your videos, it could take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. I know that there final day is Nov. 15th (or two weeks before audition day), because they stated so on their website. Personally, I turned in my application on the 1st and I heard back on the 8th. From what I’ve heard, everyone will receive some sort of decision about audition day at Blair, at least two weeks before Dec. 1st.
