Have you checked your spam/trash folders? Sometimes important emails end up there for me...which also drives me bonkers. I've learned to check those daily.

Yep, I've been checking there, too. Sigh. Thanks for the tip, though! 

[freshavocado]

Rats...

[JustAnotherComposer]

Things don't always go out in any logical order. Just gotta wait it out (or if you're really feeling it, an email probably wouldn't hurt).

Hey everyone, overseas applicant. I have an interview with Indiana this weekend for a PhD in Musicology. Anyone else have on? Any ideas what to expect?

Also has anyone heard from Princeton yet? 

[cfi1980]

Hey, I have an interview with Eastman for a PhD in Composition. Has anybody already had such an interview? What to expect? Good luck to all...

 

[JustAnotherComposer]

Anybody else waiting on any of NYU, Cornell, Duke? Might still be a few weeks I realize. 

[hellohellohello]

I'm still waiting on NYU for musicology! No word from them yet.

I'm a current MA Musicology student at IU! Do you know who you'll be meeting with? 

My interview was 3 years ago, in-person, so I'm not sure how things are working now. When I interviewed (again, granted, it was an MA), they had pretty typical questions: what interests you in musicology, what are your research interests, why IU, career goals, etc.

oh hey you two; i'm also waiting to hear from NYU GSAS (for comp though)

i know they started looking at applications (composition ones, at least) around January 23 (got an email from them that day bc one of my application materials didn't process correctly and they needed me to resend it)

Same, funny enough.

UC Berkeley sent out a batch last night

[mcsmusic17]

Hi everyone, I'm a Musicology PhD applicant!

Still waiting to hear back from Yale, NYU, and Brandeis. So far I've gotten accepted to UNC (!), interviewed at Northwestern, and waitlisted at UC Berkeley. Does anyone know the likelihood of getting in from the waitlist?

Congrats on UNC and Berkeley! I was rejected by Berkeley last night, but have yet to hear from UNC (fingers crossed that I've been waitlisted?). Did you also make it to the final round for Northwestern?

Thank you, good luck with UNC and Northwestern! I haven't heard anything else from Northwestern since the first interview so I think I was probably rejected

I know, at least for composition, that Northwestern can have a silent waitlist - radio silence after interview and then acceptance randomly much later.  No guarantee that's what's happening to you of course, but it happened to someone I know. 

Meanwhile I'll just be over here wishing more of these places with great funding had compositional aesthetics amendable to my own.

Congrats to whoever received their Harvard offer today! Wondering if it was anyone on here? 

[JustAnotherComposer]

I spy a Duke musicology waitlist ?

Anybody?

[JustAnotherComposer]

I guess that’s a no for both of us.

In any case, congrats to whoever got the Eastman musicology acceptance!

[mien]

Hello, 

Does anyone know if Harvard sent its acceptances to composition applicants ? 

I assume, they leak all results around similar dates with other departments. 

[SoTired1]

Has anyone heard anything form Stanford's music dept? I feel as if I am going mad waiting.

[DEFGECD]

Got onto Eastman's waitlist for musicology. If anybody got accepted but doesn't plan on attending, please let me know. They're one of my top choices!

Did you have an interview from Stanford  yet? If so, what are you studying?
