Okay. I don't know if this will help but I had my interview with Stanford last week and still waiting to hear back I am going for Ethnomusicology. I am not sure how the CCRMA dept works.
Heya can I ask where else you applied?

I see. Is the person you know in the department talking about this year? I also know someone in the department, but he told me there's no interview for him when he got accepted.
I just checked the result board. Someone got rejected by UCSD earlier this month, so it does seem they are making decisions at different time. I am really confused by the admission process in all these California schools. I applied to three schools in California, but I have heard back from none of them.?
Hm I looked on the board and it looks like sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. They might do them for some people and not others, depending on the applicant, but it seems to vary year to year. The person I know was talking about this year, but I might have misunderstood or something.
I looked at the board again, it does look like there are internal waitlists so some people are notified earlier, some on April 15. I wouldn't lose hope!

How do you know UCSD is interviewing this year? Do you know someone who's invited for an interview?
I know someone in the department who mentioned that someone had been interviewed and accepted, unless I misunderstood. I applied there last year, and I remember reading on one of these forums that they do rolling admins (they look at applications and do interviews in different stages), so some people find out their results in Feb, some in March, etc.

Sad!! I knew Brown was a long-shot...their program is heavy on electronic/multimedia, which is not really my focus. I would like to get there but didn't have much opportunity in undergrad.
Yea it's a tiny tiny department which makes the competition there extra intense; I'm pretty sure they've only accepted one to two people for the last few years.

@Parsifal Wesleyan is the one I applied to...I didn't even consider Master's degrees because I assumed that all are unfunded. I later learned that Wesleyan is. Yale is another one, and I'm slowly learning about others that are either fully-funded or tend to give lots of aid. But too little too late now...if I don't get in anywhere this year I might focus on that next year if I decide to reapply.
I'm pretty sure that Dartmouth's masters in Digital Music is funded!

Has anyone heard back from UCSD or UC Berkeley for PhD in composition?
I applied to Brown and Stanford, and haven't heard anything. Both usually do interviews (seemingly always in January for Stanford, and I believe Jan/Feb for Brown). Brown reviewed my portfolio in December (they barely looked at anything I'd submitted
), and Stanford had a detailed look for several weeks over January but I haven't heard anything since. I'm thinking it's sadly not looking good for those of us who haven't been contacted for an interview ?. I'm pretty sure that UCSD is interviewing this year, but they've done rolling reviews/acceptances in the past, so that could still be a possibility.

My impression from the phone call was that decisions have already been made. They didn't interview me for the ethno/musicology program but I don't know much about the MEME process.
Yes the department is tiny! They apparently like to keep it small to ensure maximum individual attention.
Good to know, thanks for your response. And congrats on your acceptance!

Hi there, I spoke to the chair of the music department yesterday and he said he was calling the accepted students for the whole department. He also said they only accepted 2 ethno/musicology and 2 MEME, which is sort of mind-blowing....
Oh interesting, so does that mean that they won't be doing interviews this year? And/or that the calls have already gone out?
Wow that makes for a tiny cohort!

Has anyone applied to Brown MEME? Curious if interviews have already taken place. Feeling as though it's probably a no at this point. I know ethno/musicology results are out.

Hey everyone!
I applied to Columbia's Sound Art Program and I'm curious if anyone else here also applied?
And if so, have you heard anything back?
Cheers!
I applied as well and haven't heard anything!

UCSD usually does 'rolling admissions', so nothings sure until April. This year is obviously a weird one though.
