PhD Musicology/Ethnomusicology 2024 Application
Squirrelgirl2 replied to meanwhilelife81a's topic in Music
I heard that many schools will send more offers than they can accept, based on how many students have previously accepted their offers in past years. So a school might sent out 5 offers even if they only have room for 2 students. In the end, their waitlists don't even get used. I know Columbia and Duke do this for sure. Every school is different though. Where is everyone going? I have accepted my offer from CUNY! -

Has anyone accepted any offers to programs yet? I received full funding from CUNY but still waiting to see if I get off the waitlist at Duke. Also has anyone heard from NYU yet??? -
Whoops sorry!

Yeah, I applied for musicology. That's why I had the stats filtered for the music department!

Which schools are you still waiting to hear from? Do you know your position on Duke's waitlist by the way? When I emailed them they said I was 3rd on the waitlist (for musicology track) and that I still have a good chance of getting accepted! Really really hoping to get in!!! -
https://gradschool.duke.edu/about/statistics/music-phd-admissions-and-enrollment-statistics/ Can any math-smart people tell me what they think my chances are of getting off the waitlist at Duke (I'm third on the waitlist and they told me that they "frequently" admit people off the waitlist)??? I'm so stressed, I really need this offer.

Who posted those results about Poop University? 🤣 and which university did you decide to go to? -

Wow! How do you already have published materials? Are you currently in a musicology MA program??? I thought most people don’t publish articles until well into their PhD programs? -

How did everyone work through the application process? Did you have professors help proof read your writing samples and give advice? Also did you contact people to make connections before applying? -

What do you mean exactly by logistics/politics?? I’ve been out of school a few years so I’m wondering if maybe that’s why… -

Same I don’t think Duke does interviews because they never invited me for one. I heard back on Feb 9 though that I’m on the waitlist. kinda bummed because I’ve been rejected from 8/11 schools I applied to. Still waiting to hear from NYU, but I suspect it’s not a good fit from me there. -

I applied to 11 schools for musicology and have only been accepted to one so far (CUNY). I'm 3rd on the waitlist at Duke and waiting to hear back from my interview with UPenn, which I had last week. Rejected from UChicago, Columbia, Eastman, and Harvard. Have not heard anything from Princeton, Yale, or Cornell yet. This process is so stressful!!! -
Wondering if there are any other musicology PhD applicants here and where you all are applying? I applied to U Penn, Cornell, Eastman, Harvard, Yale, CUNY, Columbia, U Chicago, Princeton, Duke, and NYU but have only heard back from Eastman so far.
