will it benefits me if i tell them i was admitted by juilliard pre?

<p>umm..recently my situation is terrible...few months before ,i downloaded the juilliard precollege voice department student recital video and showed it to my teacher.We both think I have a great chance to be admitted,so i was very confident. However,..due to my special situation(i am not an american high school student), i will not be able to get visa. i was so sad but i already applied for the audition. My mum thought that although i can not attend to Juilliard,maybe it still gonna help if i show the admitted paper to the universities when i apply, I mean ...At least ,they will think that i am qualified.right?need some suggestions please...</p>

<p>It is not clear whether you want to apply to Juilliard or universities, at least for me. Also, I am not sure, after reading your post, what it is that you want to show (and to whom you want to show it). And, were you in the precollege recital video, or did viewing it just make you feel as if you had a chance? I realize you are not an American high school student and understand there may be a language barrier, but just wanted to let you know that it is hard to figure out what you are asking.</p>

<p>I think she is saying that she was admitted to the Pre-College but was not able to attend because of visa issues. Now she is applying to colleges and wants to know whether it will be useful to give this information (that she was admitted but unable to attend) on her applications because it will show that she passed a high level of screening. I would say that this would make a great essay topic-- adversity and all that.</p>

<p>As I understand the situation, furtwangler123 was admitted to the Juilliard pre-college program but is unable to attend because he or she cannot obtain the visa that would be required to live in the US. The question is whether the admission by Juilliard to that program will carry any weight when the time comes to apply to universities. Or perhaps they are asking whether it will be worthwhile to send Juilliard an audition recording for the pre-college program in hopes of an acceptance that, even though they know in advance they will not be able to attend, might be of use later in the college admissions process. Either way, the answer is pretty much the same.</p>

<p>If we are talking about competitive college performance programs, the answer is that the audition for that college will be by far the most important consideration. The fact that you were admitted to the Juilliard pre-college program would be worth noting on the application (perhaps, as glassharmonica suggests, as part of the essay), but I would not expect it to carry much weight. At most it will help establish a pattern of commitment to your musical studies. Those judging the college audition will want to form their own opinion of your playing as it is then, not rely on the opinion of a different panel months to years in the past.</p>

<p>If we are talking about a non-auditioned BA program at a university that values extracurricular activities when making admissions decisions, then perhaps it will be of slightly more use by establishing that you have reached a certain level of achievement in music.</p>

<p>Can we please get a clarification from furtwangler123? Did you actually audition for the program and get accepted, or did you just apply? I keep re-reading the post and don’t get a clear indication of anything except the application.</p>

<p>Hmm, I wonder if the OP is talking about passing the pre screen? I believe all the departments in the pre college program require a pre screen be submitted before being allowed to audition. I can’t tell if they applied last year and were accepted, or if they are talking about 2012-2013, in which case it only could be the pre screen since the application deadline is the middle of this month.</p>

<p>As far as whether it is worth mentioning, it probably can’t hurt to mention for any kind of college admission that you were admitted to the pre college program (if you were, if it is just the pre screen I wouldn’t mention it, since passing the pre screen only means you were good enough to audition). How much weight is debatable, it might count for an academic university that you achieved a fairly high level in a chosen EC, for an auditioned music program it may not count all that much, since you pretty much get in based on your audition.</p>
