starbreeze89 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Steinhardt Music Tech acceptance for me. Yay! My only acceptance! So hopefully financial aid is all good......... I got accepted, too! I'm so excited!
snes Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Financial aid was not very good. Somebody please convince me that the program is worth searching for all the external grants I can find. Any other music updates?? (Of course I'm still waiting to hear from that NYU GSAS waitlist, especially since someone declined them) Edited April 5, 2011 by snes
Eislinn Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Financial aid was not very good. Somebody please convince me that the program is worth searching for all the external grants I can find. Any other music updates?? (Of course I'm still waiting to hear from that NYU GSAS waitlist, especially since someone declined them) I finally got that rejection from BU I've been expecting the past couple months- only I sadly had a dream last night in which I was accepted, so that made it a little harder. Still waiting on Brandeis, Indiana, and Case Western.
Hildegard Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 How did you friend find out? I applied too but haven't heard anything. Then again, WA is kind of far from WI if they use snail mail. I'm just trying to organize a visit, but don't want to organize it and then find out I didn't get in. I talked to two former CCM Musicology students and they warned against about half of the professors and a terrible vibe within the department. I know it's too late, but for anyone who might be reading this in the future: the two students you talked to are absolutely right about CCM. Terrible student morale--I know very few current students or alumni who were not bitter about the program at some point. Also, the funding is only for 3 years, and that is barely enough to get you through coursework at CCM. You will be completely on your own (in more ways than one) for the dissertation. That said, it won't be a total loss if your interests are in 18th-century Vienna or 20th-century USA. Those are CCM's strongest areas.

Well, it's a good thing I was so sure that it was the wrong place for me. It's kind of sad though how I decided to take a year off rather than take their TAship and additional fellowship. I think they must be desperate.
Melchior Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 How's everything going for everyone? I'm excited to start my grad program in a few months. What's everyone up to this summer?
BachRocksMySocks Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 How's everything going for everyone? I'm excited to start my grad program in a few months. What's everyone up to this summer? A former colleague of mine at the University of Chicago is now completing her MPhil at Cambridge (I am off to Princeton for a Ph.D.). Do you want me to put you in touch with her for some tips? Contact me on my e-mail (stephen.raskauskas@gmail.com) and I will forward along her contact information.
Melchior Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks so much! I will write if I have a question, but, for now, I think I am fine, as I have another friend in the program who has been answering my questions.
Karajan Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Hi, I'll be applying for 2012 entry for PhD programs in Music History! I posted some of my info here: Alles Gute!
comp12 Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 To last year's applicants: congrats on your acceptances and good luck with beginning your new careers in the upcoming weeks. Did any of you choose to visit the schools in person (if it weren't required as part of an audition/interview process), and do you think it was helpful to meet with prospective faculty personally?
Karajan Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 i visited a few schools i'm applying to. it was very helpful.
