So far February has not been my month. I'm currently looking forward towards March. March Is It!
-
Wait-listed at Princeton
Congrats and good luck!
-
3:57pm CST. Rejected from Princeton.
-
According to the results search from last year, if you are accepted to Columbia, you will be contacted the first week of March. All the rejectees will be contacted around the 15th.
In my 2 previous tries for Princeton, I got rejection the 3rd Friday of February (i.e. TOMORROW).
Last time I applied to UCSD I got the rejection on the 3rd Friday as well. It was a sad day!
This had my pumped last night and today it has me freaking out! What time of day did you get your e-mails?
-
Well good luck tomorrow Princeton hopefuls!
-
A bit over halfway into February and silence on all fronts for me. At this point I am taking that as no news is good news.
-
Nothing from Columbia here, although I don't expect to hear from them until March. I will give them a call the first week of March or so.
I really hope your friend passes on Temple funding, or that they have a nice TA option available for me. Either would be fantastic. From what I understand, they are still deliberating the latter.
-
Lot's of rejections for music yesterday and today. How is everyone holding up? Hopefully a whole slew of acceptances are just around the corner for everyone in this thread.
I gave both Temple and Princeton a call and they told me to expect to hear back last week of Feb or first week of March. If anyone has any new info, fill us all in! Has anyone been getting e-mails from Princeton?
-
Well, never mind, I was rejected quite strongly: "The majority of those who apply to the Graduate School have strong qualifications and demonstrate an ability to do advanced academic work. We regret that... bla bla bla" --> so i don't ? So gentle, it's unbelievable !!! In addition, they never ever responded to any email, letter, phone call, neither to me nor two of my professors who contacted them... Fine.
Good Bye Brown
)Sorry about the bad news musico. It seems like they might have had some people already in mind long before you or your professors tried to contact them. Just a few questions:
1. When did you first make contact with them?
2. When did your professors contact them?

Princeton.

Thanks for the great post.
-
The only truth is that you are not alone, and that there is more to life.

Soclose - thanks! That was me that posted a Cornell acceptance:) I'm on cloud 9 right now, after spending the last week freaking out about not having heard from places. So hang in there everyone else who's hating the waiting game.
Timothy - fyi, Duke's letting in 2 composition students this year apparently. I applied there for Musicology and got an email saying that they're not letting in any Musicologists this year because they let in a lot last year & so are giving the 2 available spots to composition people.
Wow, two spots... That would explain why I am currently not on the short list. Thanks for the info, and serious congratulations on Cornell.
Congratulations on Cornell!!!!!! I just heard from CUNY yesterday: I got an informal email from a prof accepting me. Unfortunately Grad Cafe posted the acceptance as Ethnomusicolo...
The waiting game is awful, and I'm sort of outraged on your behalf mus68...you wasted your time and $ applying to Duke, and they didn't have any openings? That's just not right.
Unfortunately many schools pull this stunt and in more areas than music. At the very least they could offer a partial or full refund of your application fee.
-
They sent me an email on March 3 notifying me that I was placed on the wait list, and sent the rejection email on April 6.
In case anyone else is curious, I also got rejection emails last year from NYU on March 23, and from Princeton on February 23.
Thanks Jose,
Having a time-line can help many other people!

I just noticed that someone posted in the results page that they were waitlisted by Duke for PhD in music composition. Was that anyone in this thread? If so, give us some details. Thanks.

Doctoral Writing Examination:
All doctoral applicants are required to complete the Doctoral Writing Examination as part of the admissions process. The results of this examination will figure in the admissions decision. Remedial coursework may be required.
From temple's website. I'm guessing he was invited to take this exam.

Sorry about northwestern, soclose. And good luck with Duke Timothy! I was wait-listed at Duke last year, but didn't make the cut. Hopefully it'll work out better for you
Jose, just out of curiosity:
When did Duke notify you that you were wait listed?
When did they finally tell you that you were no longer on the wait list?
Thanks,
TV
-
It is.
Do you have any details on what the test was like?
-
Thanks. I haven't heard from either Temple of Stony Brook, although a friend of mine received a call this past weekend from a professor at Temple stating they were considering him for full funding, pending the results of a test he has to take.
Was this for composition? (Your friend)
-
Official no thank you from Northwestern.
Bummer about that. Have you by any chance heard as much as an e-mail from temple of stony brook?
-
I contacted Duke and was told that while I was not on the short list, no one has been rejected/accepted yet. Any thoughts on what this means?
I feel like dying...
