Hello!
I am a new user and just wanted to see what your opinions are on my chances for my applications. Thanks in advance for the help!
About me (briefly): I am 20 years old and currently live near Anchorage, Alaska.
Undergraduate Institution: Ivy League
Major: Music History and Theory
* N.B.: I also have an undergraduate degree in music performance from a conservatory.
I will be an MSt student at Oxford University in the autumn.
CGPA: 3.61
Major GPA: 3.7
GRE: V-740, M-690
Publications: One article -- it is in a top peer-reviewed journal; three more articles will be submitted before the autumn is over and will hopefully be accepted.
Research: Three intensive research projects as an undergraduate; two major projects will be undertaken at Oxford.
Languages: German, French and Italian -- fluent reading/translating.
References: Six very strong letters -- Each is from the world's leader in his respective field.
Awards: Two fellowships from Oxford (full funding granted); fellowship from my undergraduate institution; all undergraduate awards in music available at my university (thesis award, two performance awards, travel and research grants).
Applying to: Berkeley, Harvard, Chicago, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Columbia, Stanford, UCLA, Michigan, Indiana, Cornell, NYU, Northwestern.
(I know that my list is long; it will probably change)
Fit: There are professors at each of these schools whose research interests fit with mine, but, of course, some schools are better fits than others.
Thanks again for the input.
