MusicGrad Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Following this thread has been great for me. To those who have posted: thanks for being so candid and helpful! So, if rejection letters are already arriving from Harvard, does that mean that offers of admission were probably sent already, or is it possible that they would send those out at the same time or after rejection letters?

snes Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 So, if rejection letters are already arriving from Harvard, does that mean that offers of admission were probably sent already, or is it possible that they would send those out at the same time or after rejection letters? Hi! In past experience and results on the board, Harvard notifies admits before waitlists and rejections, but there are definitely no guarantees!
purpledinosaur Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Congrats to the McGill musicology admits!!! Edited February 23, 2012 by purpledinosaur
Karajan Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Well, I haven't heard anything from anyone today, but am not confident about Harvard at this point (though my phone doesn't accept international calls, so they couldn't have called me on the off chance they admitted me), nor am I confident about Columbia, having failed to receive any sort of interview notification (have any other musicology applicants to Columbia heard about interviews...?). Who knows about Yale. Fingers are still crossed... Edited February 24, 2012 by Karajan
snes Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Kinda wish rejections went out before acceptances, because I have a feeling everything is going to go downhill quickly from here, for me, hahaha
comp12 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Heard that Harvard has already phoned their accepts.
eum-ag Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Shhhh, comp12. Don't ruin this glitter of hope that I have about a Harvard admittance and not just because it takes a while for mail to get here. Edited February 24, 2012 by eum-ag
beccakephart Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I did email KU's department head today and received word that I should be getting a positive letter soon. I'm ecstatic, so thankful that this is where I landed. Best wishes to everyone! The wait will soon be over! comp12 1
kccur Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Congrats! Becca, you'll love KU and you'll love Lawrence.
Philip Miller Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Anyone know about Temple University? Waiting to hear back about Master's program for composition.
snes Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Hi Philip - I'm still waiting to hear from Temple, too (theory). Have you checked your application status? Mine has only just recently changed to "Complete - Ready for Review."
lowmezzo Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Congrats Becca! I'm still in UMD limbo. Has anyone heard anything from their music department? I'm trying to get into the Opera Studio program but I'd like to know if the school of music has sent out letters of any kind.
eum-ag Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Alas, my rejection letter finally arrived from Harvard. @lowmezzo: I'm not sure if anyone from this forum has applied to UMD, nor do I know anyone personally. In general, performance people aren't too common on this forum, so your chances of getting an accurate response here might be limited. Though best of luck nonetheless!
Karajan Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I still haven't heard anything! Have any musicology people received anything from Harvard yet?
Catalyst77 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 The musicology PhD admit was meeee! I really wasn't expecting to make it in, so getting an offer was a huge thrill! I guess I'll be booking a ticket to Montreal in the near future to make a visit! I'm about to check my mailbox for a Harvard rejection, though. At least the McGill offer will totally soften the blow there. =)
purpledinosaur Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Congratulations, Catalyst77!! McGill is a great school! (I may be a little biased there... )
C_est_moi Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Does Northwestern have interviews for PhD in Musicology Fall 2012 ?
snes Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Does Northwestern have interviews for PhD in Musicology Fall 2012 ? Northwestern did their interviews for Musicology last weekend (I was there for theory but there were musicologists there too) and I think their decisions are going out right now.
C_est_moi Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Thanks snes. Do you know anything about Brandeis? Edited February 24, 2012 by C_est_moi
snes Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks snes. Do you know anything about Brandeis? Nope, but good luck!!
C_est_moi Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Nope, but good luck!! Have you decided where you're going?
MusicGrad Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Did anyone esle apply to UT Austin for Musicology/Ethnomusicology? Anyone have any info about that program? Edited February 25, 2012 by MusicGrad
