Re: Yale I know one theorist and two musicologists accepted. Not sure about composers.

Congrats to the Penn acceptance!

Wahoo! Congratulations!! I was really hoping it was you! :)

Congrats to the Northwestern admit!

Yes, a friend of mine heard that he got in a few days ago. Congrats on Columbia, by the way!

Huzzah to those admitted to BU, UT Ausin, and Columbia!

yale musicology admits are out, too.

Don't apply to programs where you have a weak to no fit with faculty! Apply to schools where you have a genuine fit with the faculty and department philosophy.

Try not to be too down You can always reapply next year. There are some posters on this board who reapplied after a year out and had totally different (and better!) results with almost the exact same application. This is a fickle, arbitrary process -- Give things another shot next year if things don't end up working out this year the way you'd like. Chin up!

Last year, Yale contacted us very late...

Congrats to the recent UCLA ethno acceptance! Huzzah!

Big congrats to the musicologist just accepted to NYU!

Try not to worry. The outcome of one application has no influence on the outcome of any others!

Hi and welcome! Usually, if acceptances have already gone out from a school and you haven't heard, you've probably been wait-listed or rejected, unfortunately However, if interview invitations have gone out and you haven't heard, there's still a possibility that you'll get an interview invite -- That happened to me with Columbia last year.

According to my quick research, it seems that, at the top US places (I included Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Berkeley, Chicago, Stanford, Eastman, NYU, Columbia, Penn, but I could've included many more), the following schools were well-represented on faculty: Ethno NYU (4) U of Illinois (3) =Columbia (2) =Michigan =UCLA =UPenn =Chicago (1) =U of Alberta =Berkeley =Northwestern =Wesleyan =UC Santa Cruz =UT Austin =Duke =Indiana Musicology Berkeley (10) Harvard (8) =Princeton (7) =Cornell =NYU (5) =Stanford =Yale =Columbia =Chicago =Eastman (2) =Cambridge =Oxford =Brandeis =CUNY =UPenn (1) =Amsterdam =Michigan =University of Birmingham, UK =UCSD =UNC Chapel Hill =Duke =University of Pittsburgh Theory Yale (9) =Harvard (4) =Eastman Chicago (3) =Princeton (2) =Michigan =Columbia (1) =Cornell =Berkeley =CUNY =King's College, London =Stanford =University of Toronto =University of Leeds, UK Composition =Princeton (3) =Cornell =UCSD =Columbia (2) =Harvard =Berkeley =Eastman =Indiana (1) =University of Birmingham, UK =EHESS =Michigan =Chicago =UPenn For the record, at Cambridge and Oxford, the most well-represented places on faculty are: Cambridge (8) Oxford (4) Princeton (2) =University College, London =Moscow (1) =UPenn =Chicago =Columbia =Harvard =Berkeley =University of Edinburgh, UK =University of Exeter, UK =University of York =TU Berlin, Germany

Congrats to the Harvard ethno acceptee and musicology wait-listee!

Try your best to keep your mind off of things if you can -- There's nothing you can do now that the apps are in!

Sounds fun! Northwestern is pretty organized: last year, there were few schools I visited where I had to organize my own schedule! The schools that are more organized about prospective student visits really stand out in the end.

Way to go to those who were recently admitted to CUNY and UC Santa Cruz

Well done! And congrats on UChicago, too!

A friend heard positively back from Berkeley, Michigan, and Eastman for musicology

The "Results Search"! http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php

...And a Stanford admit, too!

They don't necessarily come all at once, but we've found that, oftentimes, all the sub-disciplines are notified around the same time. In other words, it's hard to predict...

Wahoo! Hello, my fellow 2012 season applicant! :) Our existence and continued living should hopefully indicate to the current batch that this process will end and you will get through it!
