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.

JustAnotherComposer Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 On the waitlist at Duke. Came with a very nice email suggesting they have even fewer spots than normal this year. Just will have to wait it out. Otherwise, no more news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallee Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Applied to Cornell, Stanford, Brown, UCSD, Berkeley (waitlist), Northwestern (rejection), and Duke...no new info to share based on what's been said here already, just joining in on the Neurosis ?

I don't know if this will help. So far I was admitting into Duke(no interview) and waiting to hear back form Stanford after my interview. They had more applicants so they said it is much slower. We should know within the next couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should know within the next couple weeks. For composition? Likelihood of declining for a poor waitlisted fellow such as myself? Edit: For Ethnomusicology I see from previous post. So it probably won't help, cause the other person is a composer too. Edited February 11, 2021 by JustAnotherComposer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on the school. Like Eastman is sending out musicology acceptances already but haven't even finished interviewing composers. Some others seem too coordinate though, you're right.

It's strange that I have heard nothing from Stanford yet. How am I the only person with updated news on this platform. I hope someone who also had an interview with Stanford finds us.

hellohellohello Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 hi folks - does the harvard musicology acceptance happen to be anyone on here? curious if it came from an individual prof or whether it was in the portal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw your "no composers were outright admitted this cycle" results post. Really not a fan of this. I know some places don't know ahead of time if they will have any spots at all for composers, but of course that doesn't stop them from taking people's application fees (and then probably never informing them whether or not there was ever a spot). If you can't guarantee that you will be able to take people - either make it known in the application or suspend the cycle. Not that I'm personally affected by this school (but who can say about any others?) but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tough situation for everyone involved, between applicants, current students, and faculty. Some universities are handling it differently than others, but I think we're all just trying to make it through this very strange year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellohellohello Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 received a somewhat cryptic message from u of toronto (musicology) saying my application was still under consideration but that they had to figure out how many students they could take - anyone else? flowersandcoffee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from U of Toronto, but that was essentially my message from UNC. I'm still in the running, but the number of additional acceptances to the program depends on what the deans say. So I'd guess that's a wordy way to say you're on the wait list? Fingers crossed its not like other programs still figuring out if they can take anyone. Such a weird year. Best of luck!
