theory411 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This was from Yale University webpage. It was awhile ago that I had saved to my computer. Doesn't say musicology specifically. Yale PhD in music includes Ethno, Theory and Musicology.... am I correct? Comp at Yale is DMA through School of Music. Yes, you are correct.

CP3 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Great to see so much activity on here since I started the thread back in August. Currently I have one interview/test in a couple of weeks, one rejection and one "waitlist." The reason I put waitlist in quotations is because the told me in the email that "I was not invited for an interview, but they will keep my application open and re-evaluate it later on and give me a final decision late March. Has anyone had a similar email/response? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticities Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I got one rejection this week--not a surprise--and four interviews. The rejection isn't the best way to start the rejections/acceptances(hopefully) emails, but at least it's not getting my hopes up with anywhere.

Totally normal to start with a rejection, I started with an interview then a rejection from a different school a few days later. Congrats on all of those interviews plasticities! Wow!

kccur Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Congratulations to all the UChicago candidates!! Haha, to the few people above. I have only had one rejection and no interviews. Don't worry too much about the lack of interviews. A lot of music theory schools don't do interviews (or, like Yale, sometimes interview and sometimes don't).

A lot of music theory schools don't do interviews (or, like Yale, sometimes interview and sometimes don't). Oh, thanks a lot. Yeah, I didn't apply to Yale or Eastman or UChicago or Northwestern... I applied to 2 schools for Masters and I am guess they won't be having interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticities Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hey-- yeah in my book those 4 interviews totally outweigh the 1 rejection! Congrats! Where are you interviewing? Eastman, Indiana, Stanford, and University of Michigan. Waiting on results from all four--three were Skype--but I am not the one who got the acceptance to Stanford, unfortunately. Congrats to that person though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

music Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Interesting -- Stanford never used to do interviews... Good luck!! :-) They did them last year, FWIW. I remember doing mine with a 10 hour time difference, jet lag and a very dodgy hotel wifi connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticities Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Interesting -- Stanford never used to do interviews... Good luck!! :-) Thanks, though I'm assuming no news is bad news. Everyone I asked about the interview was kind of surprised, too. I don't how many "finalists" they pick for interviews. Does anyone have any idea?

I don't how many "finalists" they pick for interviews. Does anyone have any idea? It's usually about 6-8 finalists, but I don't know the exact stats for Stanford. But, hope that gives you an accurate approximation or an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Student Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 That's right -- Berkeley doesn't interview. Another one that does interview is Columbia. Columbia interviews?! Do you mean they interview to Ethnomusicology only or to all programs music related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theory411 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Columbia interviews?! Do you mean they interview to Ethnomusicology only or to all programs music related? My friend is there for Theory now and he said they interviewed him last year. I cannot say for Musicology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snes Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 In my day (2012 Fall), Columbia accepted some musicology/theory folks without interviews and rejected at least one person who was invited to interview. That person was me. I'm not bitter. Nope. PhoenixKing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicophile Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Nice to read a thread specifically about music apps (and the seemingly endless waiting game!) I'm a musicology major from New Zealand So far, I've heard back from one of the schools I've applied to - with an acceptance and a fellowship. Haven't heard anything from my other four schools though! I'm hoping I'll hear something before I fly out in March to visit the campus that has offered me a place, so that I'll be able to look around more than one university - given I'm traveling over 24 hours to get there in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
