  1. I called UOregon to see if admissions decisions have gone out, and they have not yet. So any Oregon folks, don't fret if you haven't heard back yet!

    UT Austin

    It's not so much a contact really. I just shot him an e-mail once... If you decide to call them, let me know what they say though.
  3. I am a comp applicant and I haven't heard anything back from ut either. I had a brief email convo about a month ago with a faculty member who said they planned on beginning notifications shortly after that conversation, so I'm also thinking the same as you. Who knows though!
  4. Tempe has a lot of really inexpensive, good stuff. I'd suggest looking a mile or two away from campus though, cause you'll generally get a better deal for a less shady place (assuming you have a car... public transit here is shit).
  5. I don't think any of us are planning on giving up on music if we don't get into grad school. I think moreso the question is, "what will you do for the next year until you apply again if you don't get in this year?"
  6. I think about 5 or 6 is average, just for reference. Nothing wrong with trying more! (though I certainly hope you get in this year and don't have to even worry about it!)
  7. They just produced the visuals. I don't think they even did any of the actual animation.
  8. Very nice! Sort of impossible for me still since I'm a music major and peterson's calculates the acceptance rate of all music majors, not specific departments. Interesting stuff though.
  9. Gotchya. Essentially like a general "Music" undergrad then. Thanks! Sorry to deviate from the original purpose of the thread.
  10. Spoken beautifully. I actually worry about this a lot. Thanks for the post
  11. Well yes, but I was curious more about what kind of coursework it involves
  12. I've always wondered, what exactly is musicology? It seems like a popular grad choice.
  13. What's your program? I'm doing comp.. I did my undergrad in music Ed and have a less extensive portfolio/performance list than comp undergrads I'm competing with. I've prepared to not get in as a result.. Whether I get in or not, I'm spending the next however long beefing up my portfolio, hustling for performances, and entering competitions. If I don't get in, I'll feel pretty good about my prospects for next year.
  14. You should prepare for the worst, but hope for the best. If you don't get in, you'll be fine. You'll keep on living and you can easily apply again next year. I would consider that outcome though, and just think a bit about practical things you can do if the worst should happen. I got my undergrad in music education and I'm applying in composition. I don't particularly want to spend too much time teaching primary/secondary school (hindsight is 20/20), but I will do it to pay the bills until I can beef up my CV and reapply if I have to.
