snes Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Columbia purportedly already met to finalize admissions decisions, and they are still interviewing people AND asking for interviews? UCLA is finally rejecting people via the website, but mine says nothing? Duke = ???????????????????????????? Yale = ????????????????? Me = just got this message when I tried to post: "You have posted a message with more emoticons than this community allows. Please reduce the number of emoticons you've added to the message." Well sorry for emoting.
bddurham Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Did anyone apply to Oxford or other UK universities for musicology? I did! I'm a bit confused as to where my application stands at the moment, but there's definitely been some promising developments. How about you? Did you interview yet? edit: I'm also extremely interested in hearing from the UCLA reject. Where on the website did you find out you were rejected? Edited February 29, 2012 by bddurham
eum-ag Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) edit: I'm also extremely interested in hearing from the UCLA reject. Where on the website did you find out you were rejected? The reject wasn't me, but here's the link for UCLA admission decisions: https://www.gradadmi...ssionStatus.asp There has been already one UCLA ethno admit, so I highly doubt I would get in. But alas, mine still says nothing. Also, I saw a Chicago reject, yet no word for me yet. As far as I've seen, no Ethno related results have been put out yet, rejects or otherwise, which is kind against tradition. Anyway, I'm not hopeful for either, but the process still puts butterflies in my stomach. Edited February 29, 2012 by eum-ag bddurham 1
purpledinosaur Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Columbia purportedly already met to finalize admissions decisions, and they are still interviewing people AND asking for interviews? That's messed up. I are confused.
Karajan Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah, me too. Well, we'll all just have to wait and see.
snes Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I perhaps just misunderstood what they meant by "we're meeting on Tuesday [yesterday], and then you should know by mid-march." Maybe those who interviewed prior to tuesday were just COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENTS, lol. In past years, they have interviewed some people and just downright accepted others (in the same season).
kccur Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Columbia purportedly is trolling all their applicants. Fixed your post Karajan and snes 2
purpledinosaur Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Fixed your post LOL FOREVER. Edited February 29, 2012 by purpledinosaur
snes Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Problem? Edited February 29, 2012 by snes
KGW Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Yep, applied there for theory but my UT app wasn't my best (hadn't finished my thesis yet / the UT application system is confusing as hell) so I've sorta been writing that one off. Haven't heard back though, if that makes you feel any better. Thanks!! It's nice to know that I'm not the only one out there still waiting!
sam_hutchins Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 So... it was a super special acceptance call?!?! OMG. Stop being a bitch. Nobody likes a show-off, and you do it everywhere on this forum. It's tiring. purpledinosaur, Compoe, beccakephart and 3 others 6
chrisp Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 purpledinosaur, that's Sam's first post. He's trying to get a rise out of you. Report him, put him on ignore, and move on. comp12 1
bddurham Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) congrats to the Columbia theory admit! Edited March 1, 2012 by bddurham purpledinosaur 1
kccur Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Wow. Does everyone feel this way? I'm so sorry if I'm being horrible. I'll delete my account and my posts if I'm showing off or offending people. You're Canadian: it's almost scientifically impossible for Canadians to be offensive. And seriously -- this is sort of a competitive business filled with a lot of talented people. If someone can't deal with the fact that other people are more successful, it's going to be real tough gig for them. comp12, purpledinosaur, KGW and 2 others 5
snes Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 yay, drama on the music thread. We've arrived! So I'm assuming it was you purpledino that got an acceptance call from columbia? Congratulations! No word from Columbia for me, despite having been interviewed, so hopefully it's a waitlist and not a complete rejection (that would be sort of a blow). comp12 1
spparkle Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 things i've heard: UCLA: I was told my Bob Fink last week that they are having their meeting and I should hear in about 2 weeks, aka about a week from today (for musicology). Columbia: I did not aplpy, but my friend got a call asking if he was still interested. But no formal offer. Just in general: Different universities work differently re: admissions. Some, like (as far as I know) Chicago, accept their first round, see if they accept the offer, then work down a list, not rejecting people till they have the numbers they want. Other schools, like Berkeley, pick who they want (this year it was 5 acceptances), then reject the rest. If only 3 accept the offer, so be it, they don't let anyone else in. snes 1
spparkle Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I did! I'm a bit confused as to where my application stands at the moment, but there's definitely been some promising developments. How about you? Did you interview yet? edit: I'm also extremely interested in hearing from the UCLA reject. Where on the website did you find out you were rejected? I did interview at Oxford a few weeks ago. I was told we wouldn't hear until mid-late March on a decision. But funding for Americans is nearly impossible unless you have a 4.0 from Harvard and are curing cancer. So we'll see.

Figured that was standard core curriculum by now.
snes Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 At MY school, music theory 101 ended with a basic lesson on the 5 standard wave frequencies for selectively targeting malignant tumors. And if you play them langsam, the cancer can only spread langsam. Joking aside, I WISH. F**k cancer.
Karajan Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Anyone hear anything about what's going on with Yale?
rebel rebel Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Anyone hear anything about what's going on with Yale? I got an email telling me to check their website last week, which let me know I was wait listed. Ethno, though. So guess that's not too much help!
Karajan Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I got an email telling me to check their website last week, which let me know I was wait listed. Ethno, though. So guess that's not too much help! Ok, cool, thanks! They aren't too behind this year; according to the results survey, last year they sent out results around this time and, considering that they aren't doing interviews this year, maybe they will just send out all their results at approximately the same time.
kccur Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 THEY DID IT AGAIN. Got an email from Yale today! Yale sent me another "automated response" to the query I sent Yale in December. Telling me they weren't going to answer the question that hasn't been relevant for three months (and that they didn't answer the last time they sent me an "automated response.") No news on, you know, aaactually getting into grad school. I swear one of their grad students has to just be intentionally screwing with me. Josquin and comp12 2
Karajan Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Hm, that's odd! I sent them an e-mail a while back and got a normal, non-automated response! Edited March 2, 2012 by Karajan
