CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Its pretty dead in here ?? We're nearing April 15, anyone getting closer to figuring out where they're going?

Hey I'm in the same boat. 15 apps, 4 waitlists, no acceptances. I predict we will be accepted from a waitlist on April 7. @crackademik Try not to worry It will all be over soon! I don't like uncertainty that much either.

Depends a lot on school and field and the habits of the director of graduate admissions. It would also be sensible to e-mail the director of graduate admissions at the institution where you are waitlisted and ask them if they typically admit students from the waitlist, and/or when you are likely to hear back (this is early April for most places). You might also ask if the waitlist is ranked and if so what place you are on it. Obvously, top people on the waitlist have a much higher chance than someone further down. Also of course check the acepted students page on this website for previous yrs waitlist reults

Waitlisted at Brandeis Waitlists are to me what the Ring is to Gollum...I want all the waitlists

Do not commit until youve been rejected or accepted at your waitlists

I will be if waitlists don't turn out.

Smash that commit button! Congrats! ConGrazia!

cOnGrAtUlAtIons!!!!!????

this migh thelp someone http://www.phdstipends.com/results

cOnGrAtUlAtIoNs! Yeah sounds like a good chance. We are total waitlist gurus. What's an acceptance??‍♂️

Did anyone on here get accepted to yale? Do you know when the campus visits are going to be?

Lol, the results board is a massacre of harvard/stanford/columbia rejection

got columbia rejection

Just got the official rejection from the University of Harvard ?‍♂️

Yeah a Music PhD would be cool... Also on that note I think U Penn does the same thing as Yale and Chicago. It seemed to be Columbia handles theory / musicology apps separately. Brian Kane is a cool scholar. And I know he has been the primary advisor on several musicology dissertations. Though I do think there is virtue in having a lot of depth in the methodologies of one subfield. Sometimes I feel when I spread myself too thin, the whole ends up being less than the sum of its parts. But as I'm sure you know, philosophy definitely corresponds with music(ology, theory) in many ways. In any case you don't get an interview (and waitlisted to boot) at NYU if you dont have an interesting project, especially with their level of competitiveness this round. What's surprised me this round is that whiile my research is on Russian music, all the places with Russian music scholars have rejected me...only ones without them are interested. Lol

I've heard back from most places. I am waitlisted at 3. Rejected officially and unofficially at most others. One to hear back from. I hope Cambridge works out for you! Anywhere left to hear from for you ?

Hey, I'm a similar case to you, occupying some liminal space between "Music Theory" and "Musicology". I have also been curious how/whether this affected my apps. One of my writing samples is pure analysis, the other more cultural history. For what its worth I wrote about 3 people in my POS to CUNY musicology, 2 of which were theorists, and I very high on waitlist there. I also brought up a theorist in the yale one and many others. At Columbia, isn't Hisama cross listed as theory & musicology faculty? Our rejections are prob not due to unclear disciplinary identities. But it may be how to frame it. Interidisciplinary / crossing boarders etc. sound like buzzwords after a while so theres a convincing way to frame my research topic in it. That, or they just didnt find my topic interesting. I've been told it varies by school re. how "accepting" professors and departments are of disciplinary border crossing. I'm not sure how to glean this exactly. I imagine we would have the easiest time at schools that throw applications from all disciplines into one big pile and admit from them (Yale and Chicago are some I know). At several schools I would have preferred to apply to theory but my showing on the musicianship tests would pale compared to, like, music theory majors at conservatories. Or anyone who regularly practices aural skills. My advisor told me musicologists with strong theory backgrounds are few and far between these days. So it will probably help!

Yeah I applied and was rejected to both as well. What's the point in waiting? Isn't it like a click of the button-type thing and all rejections are sent out? Im sure theyve sent out all their waitlists too so no point keeping us around?

Congrats! I hope the conditions are good? Yeah, annoying some schools that are dragging their feet

Hey!

Damn? Was Yale high on your list? Also Im very curious what your options are at this point!

CUNY musicology is emailing results today. I got news I am "high on the our waiting list for funding", and that I am very likely to get off the list. Seems like an oddly worded acceptance? Nonetheless some cool news. What is it with me and waitlists? Lol

If Waitlisted Club needs a treasurer i am game. I hope we can disband Waitlisted Club pretty soon. My school's music dept. (i go to a liberal arts college) offers a 9th semester fellowship following graduation to do a research project with the profs. For spring and summer I'll probably get a part time job back at home, unless I can find some music related paid internship somewhere.

Wow sounds great! It's my hope everyone on here gets accepted somewhere. I've got a plan if nothing works this yr so nbd.
