I figured it would be nice to share what I know about certain doctoral program admission statuses for some of the bigger schools for music composition in the United States, considering they have some of the lowest admission rates in the world in regards to field and region. Cal Arts Performer-Composer DMA has sent out the first round of interview invitations. 5 people have their interviews this week and next. Harvard, Brown, and Columbia have all been sending out both acceptances and rejections for their programs. Notably, Columbia had ~1250 applicants for their 3-4 DMA spots (confirmed by multiple primary sources). I applied to 7 doctoral programs, but with those kind of numbers I'm not very hopeful.
