It’s been a brutal process. I have one acceptance with funding still pending. I was rejected from 3 programs. I am still waiting to hear from 3 programs (Virginia, Cornell, Irvine). Should I assume those will be rejections? I have seen acceptances and rejections from all but Irvine. Any guidance is appreciated!

Rejected from Cornell. One more rejection to go for a full sweep. Congratulations on all the acceptances!

I’m not sure, but there are only four seats in total this year, I understand.

I emailed CUNY. They won’t be releasing decisions until sometime in April.

Thanks for letting me know. I applied to DMA in Composition. Not sure how to interpret radio silence.

Congrats on all the acceptances! Has anyone heard anything about when CUNY and Cornell will be releasing decisions?

Rejected from Brandeis composition.

I haven’t heard a word from CUNY, Cornell or Brandeis. Anyone else?

This is what’s happening to music programs in general. I think many schools are making brutal cuts. I wish they were more transparent. https://amp.ithacajournal.com/amp/6814594002

That’s very good news. You must be in the running. I got my rejection three weeks ago.

Congratulations. No news could be good news. Rejected from UW and UCSD in Composition. Probably a different timeline

Composition (piano/modern)

Thanks. It’s been a rough year for everyone I guess. Sadly, it was not me who got waitlisted at NYU. So far, all flat-out rejections. Honestly, I would be happy to get waitlisted anywhere. And ditto on installations.

Rejected from Stanford.

Fair enough. I think Brandeis is typically later than the rest. I hope you hear something. I hope we all do.

I have accepted the fact that this might not be my year. I had less opportunity to get recordings of my chamber pieces. If nothing else, I will hopefully be better prepared next year.

Thanks for all the feedback. Ugh. Less seats. More applicants. Looks like I’ll probably be back here next year.

My advisor said not to contact them until decisions were released. I might request feedback from a few after the fact (assuming I will be rejected, of course).

Anyone hear from CUNY, Stanford DMA composition, Cornell or Brandeis? I did not get an interview at any of these. Should I assume the worst?
