I have also made a final decision. I was originally waitlisted at Washington University in St. Louis, then they emailed me with a fantastic offer that I could not refuse. I am looking forward to spending the next several years of my life in St. Louis.

Hi! I have only heard from the School of Music at this point. The letter said that information would be coming soon concerning funding. I have not heard about that nor have I heard from the graduate school. Congratulations on your acceptance to Florida State! Maybe we will see each other there in the Fall.

Received a rejection email from UCLA last night or this morning. I came home from work and had an email from Southern California. They have waitlisted me, but they seemed interested in my work and want to offer me a fellowship. The email said they were waiting to hear from other applicants. USC has a pretty and cozy campus, and I enjoyed the days I spent in Los Angeles while working on my thesis. I hope everyone is hearing good news this week.

Hello. I took three years between my undergrad and grad work. I used the time to get some work experience while also doing independent research. I also took the GRE a couple of times to get the score that I wanted. IMO, it is okay to wait for grad school until you believe you are ready. Email some professors, and get an idea for the social environment of institutions you are considering. Maybe some of the professors will even help you with some of your example documents. Good luck!

Thanks! I am currently living in Florida, and the weather is very nice at the moment. I'm interested in American music of the early twentieth century, exile studies, jazz, and cultures of the American South. My Master's thesis was on Hanns Eisler and the years he was in the United States. In the future I would like to look at Wallingford Riegger, music and the WPA, and the jazz history of Mobile, Alabama.

And better news came!! I received an acceptance letter from Florida State this afternoon. I am very relieved. How is everyone else coming along?

I just received my rejection from NYU via email. Funny, I am presenting a paper there at the Music and the Moving Image conference in May. Hopefully there will be some better news coming along soon!!

Thanks, tutupack. I checked the site, and I am getting the same message as you. "In progress." I am ready for a concrete answer, too!

Hi tutupack4: When I check my Application status for UCLA, it still just reads "submitted." Is there a separate status page (apart from the page where I built and submitted my application) that I am not aware of? Thanks!

I received my first notification via email today. I was waitlisted at Washington University in St. Louis. Ah, well. St. Louis would have been a great place to spend half a decade. Big congratulations to the two posters who were accepted to WUSTL!

Can any users tell me about the musicology program at Louisiana State? How are the school, the community, relationships with professors?

I have applied to UCLA and Columbia. I haven't heard from either of them yet.

Fantastic!!

Congratulations to the person accepted to UMKC, DMA Music Composition. I auditioned at UMKC when I was considering Master's programs. It's a beautiful campus -- a lot of walking uphill, though. The faculty I met were very nice.

Congratulations!! That is good news.
