I am sooooo sorry that you got a rejection from NYU!!! How did you find out? Email or letter? Same, maybe our music will click more in 10 years or so? I used to be more show-offey before undergrad, but was scolded for it. I went to the extreme of creating simplistic-looking music that sounds different from what it looks like on the page. It requires a lot of careful planning and thought to stay between the lines of tonal and atonal music.

I think I am having the same problem with my portfolio too! My music notation is simple and accessible, but the rhythms can be quirky and tongue in cheek. Everything sounds good and may sound different from what one expects from looking at the page. However, it's not what is in style at the moment. It's not abstract conceptualism, electronic, or micro-tonal. I'm forging old styles together to make something fresh and palate-cleansing.

I'm still waiting to hear from three schools. -Carnegie Mellon University -University of Southern California -New York University So far, I have 0/8. I just need 1 acceptance...

Oh God... those ARE the worst! I hated getting them for CMU and USC. Unless the first line says "congratulations," I am assuming a rejection.

How did NYU notify you? Is there a link to check your status, or is it only an email? I, too, am waiting to hear from them, but for the MM in Composition. At this point, I am trying to figure out my statuses for schools I am still waiting on. Going a little stir crazy! USC sent an email to prospectives two weeks ago requesting supplemental financial aid documents, so I am trying to see if my status changes on FA site. It says under review for financial aid.

Congratulations!!! That's a really good program.

Some of my composer friends from festivals may have, but I do not know for sure (and Idk if they applied to my or your program). Thanks! and good luck to you too!

No, I'm just applying to the regular composition program. So basically, in 2-3 weeks we'll be finding out then? *fingers-crossed* that I will get in somewhere AND be able to afford it. I hate waiting... Are you applying to other places other than NYU?

Hi, I'm new here! Does anyone know when MM in Composition results will be coming out for: -University of Southern California (was there supposed to be an interview?) -NYU -Boston University -Carnegie Mellon (had interview/portfolio review here) I have been rejected from Yale, UCLA, Michigan, and McGill so far. I really need to be accepted somewhere...
