<p>This thread is for Vocal Performance graduate and undergraduate applicants and/or their parents, teachers, etc.</p>
<p>I thought it might be useful, and interesting, to start a thread of Prescreen Notification Dates. Current and future applicants will get a rough idea of when to expect their notifications from each school.</p>
<p>It might be useful to have a set format so people can sort through the results more easily.</p>
<p>The format might look something like this:</p>
<p>List the school first.</p>
<p>Identify yourself as Undergraduate or Graduate. (Notifications may be different for each category.)</p>
<p>Following a '-' symbol, type the Date and Type of notification (email, snail mail, status checker, phone??).</p>
<p>If you'd like, you can post your results ('passed' or 'declined' -- ie, invited to audition or declined), since notification dates may be different for each of those categories.</p>
<p>For this thread, I'm most interested in WHEN and HOW the various schools notify prescreened applicants of their decisions, rather than whether or not the applicants were accepted.</p>
<p>It might be useful to keep commentary to a minimum, so readers can sort quickly through the list.</p>
<p>I thought our list could look something like this:</p>
<p>Example University, Graduate - Dec 10, status checker (passed)
College of Singing, Undergraduate - Jan 4, email (declined)
Music Conservatory, Undergraduate - Dec 20, snail mail
Favorite College, Graduate - Jan 21, email (declined)
Opera University, Undergraduate - Dec 12, email</p>
<p>(Please don't make your entry Bold, I used bold type here just to set the list apart from the rest of my post.)</p>
<p>If enough people partake to make this worthwhile, I may try to alphabetize the list by school names as we go along.</p>
