Chaotic Forager Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Composition/multimedia here! I'm... stressed. Applied to Brown, Princeton, University of Virginia, and University of Oregon, no word from anyone yet. I saw on the results page that someone was accepted to Brown, and someone else was rejected, but I'm still in limbo. Usually Princeton sends out acceptances around now, so hopefully we'll hear something soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaichristine Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Hi all, sending positivity we all end up in the right place! My anxiety is going to be through the roof until April 15th. ? Waiting to hear from three more schools (one today hopefully!), and a waitlist decision. boop1234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaichristine Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hi all, I wanted to see how everyone is doing. I’ve officially heard from all of the musicology programs. Relief, but so much stress! boop1234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few pending, but the results likely will not change where I enroll. Chaichristine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve officially heard from all of the musicology programs. Relief, but so much stress! I applied to five programs for theory, accepted at two and rejected at three. Rejections are disappointing but I'm ultimately happy with where things landed--I got into a program that's a good fit with decent funding. I'm still waiting to hear about funding from one of the schools that accepted me, so there may still be some haggling over money, but I've decided with 99% certainty where I want to go. Good luck to everyone who's still waiting, in the negotiation stage, or planning an imminent move. Chaichristine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

composingbee21 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Generally it seems like theory/musicology is moving faster than composition. I still have 8 schools I'm waiting to hear results from, and numbers from all of the admits so far. Chaichristine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivaldi1206 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I’m stressed. Two rejections, one waitlist at a school I’m really enthusiastic about and the potential advisor really wants me to be at, and still waiting on Berkeley for musicology.

Waitlisted as well at one school and rejected by others. I’m not sure how many people were accepted to the school I’m waitlisted at, but trying to have hope. ???

music-2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I'm a musicology applicant but an update if it is helpful to anyone: I applied to five schools, two rejections thus far (Harvard, Toronto), and one acceptance. Still waiting on the other two schools (Cornell, McGill). Chaichristine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two rejections, One waitlist, and one accepted but waitlist for funding. We’ve got this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivaldi1206 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I'm honestly alarmed that it's March 24 and UC Berkeley as nothing for musicology or theory. I just saw that UC Santa Barbara post that they aren't accepting any music people this year at all. I am wondering if with the recent unionization that they just can't come up with funding? (not that unionization is a problem), any thoughts anyone? Chaichristine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how true that is, but it was weird they decided that after significantly extending the app deadline. To be fair, they did also say they'll be refunding application fees and some travel fees for those that already did an in-person audition. As far as Berkley, I think there was someone that has heard back from ethno. Might just be that whoever has been accepted isn't on grad cafe?
