No, I wouldn't e-mail them. LieutenantBeefheart is absolutely correct. That might end up doing you more harm than good. You don't want to seem desperate. You want schools to be fighting over you, not you fighting for them. I'm sorry, but the only people you should be contacting these days are the admissions representatives to find out where your application stands.

It depends on your degree program. I would be wary about contacting your POI after the application has been submitted, you should have done that before. Sometimes professors see it as bothersome. You shouldn't be asking questions about the program after you submitted your application. I hope this helps - that is just what I have been advised.

Congratulations to the UChicago Ethno admit!

Hahahahah, that's how I rationalized my first and currently only rejection. "I wouldn't have went there anyway, if I had any other option." Haha.

Yes, you are correct.

Hey, I know the feeling. To answer your question: I had a friend who took a year off because he did not apply to any graduate programs and he works for YBM ECC in Korea. They fixed him with an apartment and paid for his airfare. They give him a living stipend and he has been having a wonderful time. You might want to look into it, if you are really concerned. Teaching english in another country is a wonderful opportunity and so much fun (so I hear!). Best wishes for your application season :-)

Oh thanks! Haha, I was rejected from IU for both a Master's and PhD. It hurts a little bit. (I didn't apply to Eastman). It's a little bit frustrating. Theory people seem to be MIA, so I have no idea if I am in a good position or bad position. LOL. Good luck with your apps. :-)

I agree with you

Has anyone heard from any of the Universities that they applied for music theory? (PhD/MM/MA)
