Got into Juilliard, with a generous scholarship to boot! I've crossed off my other options. But finding the rest of the money I need to live in New York will be a challenge, to say the least...
Congrats to everyone!
Big congrats to those accepted at Chicago!
I too am awaiting results for composition (and preparing myself for probable rejection)... what's the word, composers?
Update: Well, Yale finally rejected me (MM in composition), but at least I won't be spending any more money on them!
Hi musicbox, what schools are you waiting on? Best of luck
Got an audition invite from Juilliard the other day (MM in composition) ... I see someone got an invite to Yale School of Music, but they are taking forever to get back to me!
Thanks for your replies. It seems the general agreement among people I've talked to is that it's nearly impossible, although it's been known to happen. I'll probably take a shot at a couple just in case I get lucky (I'm particularly attracted to Cornell and UChicago), and apply to at least twice as many master's programs. I do feel like I can put together a strong application, but who knows...
Hello there, I'm new to the forum. I'm planning to apply to composition programs for fall 2014. Anyone here have experience applying straight from a bachelor's? My inclination is to apply to a roughly equal mix of masters and DMA/PhD programs. My undergrad's a little unusual as my program involves studying in both Singapore and the US, so I'm hoping that gives me somewhat of an edge. Other than that I have no idea what to expect!
