They made decisions yesterday and will be sending out later this week. I am waitlisted! Thanks---I'd emailed last week and had heard that they "could give a clearer idea at the beginning of next week" (ie now this week). Wasn't sure whether to bother Prof. Cohn again or not (though I'm still not sure; I guess I could just wait...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep my hopes up but its beyond me why someone would turn down Yale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest barkin62 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Tbf if I was accepted they probably would've emailed me already, so probably futile. Though it would be nice to know. I could easily imagine people turning down Yale for Chicago or Harvard, from what I know of musicology. For theory it's apparently common for people to use Yale as a bargaining chip to get more money from Eastman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody_S Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Why doesn't Harvard send out rejections, the day they send out acceptances? ? Also, is the Harvard Ethnomusicology admit in this group? If yes, well done!!! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting just for Yale and UCSB. I've been doing pretty well, got into 3 places, waitlisted at 2. I've been quiet about that here; it just seems kinda rude/jealousy-inducing to talk about acceptances to people with so much existential angst.

My school's music dept. (i go to a liberal arts college) offers a 9th semester fellowship following graduation to do a research project with the profs. For spring and summer I'll probably get a part time job back at home, unless I can find some music related paid internship somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest barkin62 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 That sounds pretty solid. My only plan for if I got rejected everywhere was pretty much "reevaluate my life and get a miserable quasi-busywork tech job," which I'm very glad to not have had to do. (I've watched what it does to my friends.) I've seen people be very successful with grad apps after taking some time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klavierstucke Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 CUNY musicology is emailing results today. I got news I am "high on the our waiting list for funding", and that I am very likely to get off the list. Seems like an oddly worded acceptance? Nonetheless some cool news. What is it with me and waitlists? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
