Vocal Performance PreScreen Notifications - Graduate and Undergraduate (2013-2014)

<p>Passed Northwestern undergrad prescreening (email).
Anyone know how hard it is to transfer schools once youre in a university? Just curious.</p>

<p>superdani, performance and music theory credits are difficult to transfer.</p>

<p>If i join a music school, lets say Bienen, is it easy to take classes like biology or psychology?</p>

<p>Dradsmom: Thanks for posting the “no thank you”. Come on folks, I know that the rest of you are receiving negatives also- please have the courage to post those too! It can really help others to figure out which voice types schools are going to need or not in future years. The great majority of guys are able to gain admission to VP undergrad- and they are badly needed- but that changes by the time they audition for grad school. Some schools have hardly any males this year so I would guess that there will be some active “encouragement” during this audition season (grad school)!</p>

<p>soulfege (love the name, by the way!!)- please let us know what you’ve heard and from which schools so that I can include them on the list. While casting a wide net is great, you are seeing the logistal nightmare that can arise! You are going to have to make a chart of which school is holding auditions on which day and try to co-ordinate things quickly and reqest dates that work. Your D may have to do some regional auditions or even send a DVD, so she needs to determine which schools are at the top of her list and rank them from there. Schools that are close will usually hold their auditions at times that compliment each other in order to make it possible for students to attend.</p>

<p>ba1mom- Give DePaul a day or so because they were closed due to the terrible weather that hit Chicago. If you’re in a bind trying to plan trips, I don’t think that they’d mind if you called them to politely inquire!</p>

<p>Superdani- it’s not easy at all to transfer between music schools for the reason that musica stated. You run into big differences in theory, music history and language tracks. As for taking academic classes, it depends entirely upon the school you attend. Some encourage the taking of academics and some require them- Rice and CIM come to mind. </p>

<p>Thanks, Mezzo Mom. This is great advice and we will follow it! Daughter is an undergrad. I don’t remember the exact dates of the prescreen notifications, but they were mostly in December. The no’s were Rice and CCM. The CCM notification was via snailmail and Rice was an email. Prescreen passes are Oberlin, NEC, Indiana and USC. There are a few more schools out there that we haven’t heard from yet; so we wait…</p>

<p>Just got the subdued screaming call from DD tht she passed pre-screen for CIM.
So far for her she has passed pre-screen or been offered an audition for each school she applied to (except for Curtis but I don’t think anyone has been notified from there)</p>

<p>CCM, CIM, Rice, DePaul, Lawrence, Roosevelt, Viterbo, UW-Madison, Indiana.</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone and congratulations! I used dates from other notifications when there wasn’t any listed, and the same with notification methods; used my own knowledge when it was needed too! vivasolar, could you please let me know how the notifications were sent from Viterbo and UW?</p>

<p>Saw where Julliard is notifying Cello and Viola on prescreen today. Anybody heard anything on Voice?</p>

<p>Nothing yet - yikes, this is earlier than last year.</p>

<p>Has anyone heard anything about Early Action Vocal Performance at the Hartt School?</p>

<p>denaht, I know that some people were notified before Christmas so you might want to send the school an email or call them.</p>

<p>My D was got her early Hartt vocal acceptance letter right after New Year’s. It was in a letter that looked like University of Hartford junk mail.</p>

<p>Daughter has passed vocal performance prescreens to boco and purchase and she has 10 auditions scheduled. She was declined at nyu, Peabody, NYU and NEC. we believe she may have been academically disqualified, notifications came almost immediately in mid December before most passed letters/emails were received. I do know that nec recalculates their GPA to academics only and she would not have met the minimum. But they said they would make limited exceptions so we figured why not. Peabody accidentally called saying that they were having trouble reviewing her materials AFTER she had received her decline letter, and they confirmed they had never reviewed her video submissions.
She was disappointed at first but the next week received her first check for performing as an ensemble member in a professional opera.
She has one full acceptance to otterbein and we have remained positive that regardless of where she ultimately chooses to go she will make the most out of it like she has always done.<br>
Moral of the story…grades and scores may be eliminating factors even above talent (she has squeak out 3.15. But her acts were abysmal).<br>
Good luck to everyone and I hope to see you on the audition circuit.</p>

<p>Sguti40, you make a good case for your daughter having been declined academically, but a 3.15 GPA isn’t really that bad. I’m just surprised because I know of many instrumentalists with similar or lower GPAs and low standardized test scores who were admitted at auditioned schools. I wonder if vocalists are held to a higher standards, or if the issue has to do with not having openings for her voice type. (Of course that would not explain Peabody’s call.) Anyway, I think it’s very valuable that you posted this information. So few posters have reported prescreen declines that I’m afraid those who were declined, or next year’s crop, will have an unrealistic idea of the chances of passing prescreens.</p>

<p>Glassharmonica I think it was her act score, it was a 17. She is a very bright young lady who works very hard. But looking at the stats for those schools, it’s below their reported numbers. And I can see why john Hopkins may not want to admit a student who has a low act score they have an academic reputation outside of Peabody to maintain. But than again you never know.
She’s proud of her remaining choices. I wholeheartedly agree it’s important to be realistic about entrance opportunities especially for women pursuing the arts. Numbers are so very different than their male counterparts and I know that voice type/style plays a huge role in acceptance for vocalist. We also did not have the privilege of existing relationships with teachers at any of the schools, the value of which was a huge underestimation on our part. We are in the Los Angeles area and she has selected to go east.
It may be painful to admit, but please post your declines and exhalt in the passes! We can celebrate together!</p>
