Claiming UWO acceptance in music theory. Turning it down because I've already accepted another offer.

UCSB's email said they aren't accepting anyone because they are upgrading and retrofitting the buildings. Not sure how true that is, but it was weird they decided that after significantly extending the app deadline. To be fair, they did also say they'll be refunding application fees and some travel fees for those that already did an in-person audition. As far as Berkley, I think there was someone that has heard back from ethno. Might just be that whoever has been accepted isn't on grad cafe?

I saw someone posted a waitlist on the results page, but that's all I've seen.

I've hear from most. Slew of rejections, 1 acceptance I'm really excited about. A few pending, but the results likely will not change where I enroll.

Or the ethno, for that matter?

Anyone want to claim the Columbia Musicology admit?

Not from Yale, but I saw on the results page that a few folks got accepted at UPenn.

Getting nervous because a few of my schools have historically sent out first-round interviews by now but I haven't heard anything ?

Are you asking for a specific city, or are these questions you are suggesting other people keep in mind?

I've just finished my 3rd interview. No responses from any (about 2 weeks since the first one has passed). Radio silence from 7 programs, got an automated email from the Graduate School at one that I "passed preliminary screening and my materials will be sent to the appropriate department," but I don't know that it means much. Absolutely. I keep getting my hopes up for one of the programs because the door is ever so slightly open since I've not been 100% rejected.

I'm thinking some of the delay might be because of different academic calendars? I can see some of these places not touching apps until the spring semester starts.

Yeah, probably. I don't love the way some schools (not just Mich) are just like "we want to interview you at this time" instead of "which of these times would work." My semester is about to start, so I'd really rather have the options to work around my schedule. Yeah. Hoping to have an offer in hand by the time I hear anything from them at this point. Would also love any news from the rest of my programs. I have a few reaches, not really even expecting an interview from them, but would really like that solidified.

UC Santa Barbara. Not sure what's going on, happened to see it on their website. I'm curious how it'll go. They assigned me a really weird/random time.

For sure. I just wish there were clear timelines from each school ? And one of my schools suddenly extended their deadline to March! Not sure if/when I will hear from that one at this point. Are you the other Michigan interview on the results page?

The one I interviewed with yesterday said they don't usually make offers until mid-late February. Based on prior years, I think a few programs will be sending out first-round invitations at the tail end of January.
