Thanks! And congrats to you on your other acceptances, and best of luck in your decision making =)

It looks like UCLA’s admissions decisions are out—got my rejection letter just now.

I was waitlisted for the Musicology PhD program at Northwestern. I also haven't heard anything from UCLA. My suspicion is that those of us on wait lists will have to wait around until folks who have received offers make their decisions, which may cut close to April 15. I feel really bad for my partner--we're getting married on May 13 and we can't even plan a honeymoon until we know whether or not we will have to move across the country this summer.

I wouldn't say so. It is likely that they have made offers to candidates, but until those folks accept those offers, the slots cannot be "filled." Departments seem quick to send out rejection letters once they know for a fact they will not be making you an offer. You may be somewhere on their wait list.

That's great!!! I'm happy that they told you about funding right away. Crossing my fingers for you that you get more responses soon so that maybe you could even lobby for more funding, especially for an expensive school in an expensive city.

Congratulations! I think it's odd that you haven't heard from NU yet, although maybe their Master's admissions process is different or separate from their PhD process. How do BU and NU rank on your list?

I received an email this morning notifying me that I have been placed on the wait list for NU. Any updates on your end?

I also got a "we're strongly considering your application" email from Northwestern (for Musicology). Do you know how many applicants they accept? Did you have an interview, or just a phone call?

I am also still awaiting a decision from Northwestern's Musicology department. I did receive an email one month ago saying they were "strongly considering my application." Did you receive one of those emails, too? And is your application for a PhD in Musicology?

I've also applied to PhD programs in Musicology! Although I just discovered this site. I also applied to UCLA, USC (I'm completing my DMA in Early Music here now), and Northwestern University. I applied for and was accepted into the Musicology department at UO four years ago, but decided on USC instead. (I really loved Marc Vanscheeuwijck at UO, though.)
