I think top programs in ethnomusicology would be UCLA and Indiana.

I too will be moving from Wisconsin to California in the fall. Have you looked into renting a small Uhaul if you are driving? Unfortnately I don't have a car so I'm going to magically get my things there some how.....

Maybe you should start a facebook group!

Since the Tufts' master's degree is directly within the department, that gives you an advantage. I too have been accepted into Chicago's MAPH program and in researching it, have found that some students had a bad experience, where their "department of interest" did not want to work with them. It would be important therefore to check with the Philosophy department at Chicago. Send them a professionally worded letter asking them : 1) How closely they are willing to work with students in the MAPH program, 2) If they have had good experience with this program/ what they think of it (I've heard that some of the faculty are disparaging of it), and 3) If many students who were in the MAPH program get accepted into the PhD program there afterwards or into other schools. Compare these answers with what you know or can learn about Tuft's program.

Thanks! @ssparkle- UCLA is definitely my top choice. I'm visiting next month too. I'm waiting to hear whether or not I got this fellowship, so if that comes through I definitely be there. What about you?

Congrats! I also got in for Ethnomusicology

check the results survey.

Do you think the number of scholarships awarded would depend on the size of the UC? I'm hoping that since UCLA is quite a bit larger than UC-Berkeley, that more would be avaialble. I too was nominated for one. Tell us when you hear anything.

You probably already have by now, but I got a letter in the mail, on Friday I believe.
