purpledinosaur Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Ohhhh gotcha, snes! And yeah, I am still reeling from Chicago's acceptance as well! Never thought it would really happen. I don't know about when Columbia will REALLY get back to us, but that was the unofficial message I got... might only be for music theory?
comp12 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Judging for past years' stats on the results survey, it seems that Columbia indeed takes its time. The accepts seem to come in from late Feb. through early March, and the denies in mid March. Chicago is a department that have tended in the past to roll out its admits early - and this year that trend has obviously held up. Stanford, though, seems to be average on the spectrum, but this year made their decisions super early as well. The next-up schools appear to be CUNY and Princeton in early February, if past years' results are any indication. BTW - Happy February everyone! The end is near...haha
Karajan Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks for the clarification regarding Cornell, snes! I made a little chart of when we might hear from various schools based on last year's results (though Stanford and Berkeley have notified us much earlier than they did last year): Michigan - approx 3 Feb Yale - approx 4 Feb for interviews, approx 17 Feb for results Cornell - approx 8 Feb Princeton - approx 10 Feb Penn - approx 15 Feb Harvard - approx 19 Feb Columbia - approx 24 Feb This makes me feel marginally better, though I am still on pins and needles all day long!
chrisp Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Congratulations to those of you who have heard! I'm amazed that you've received responses so soon. I interpret that as a sign that you're incredibly talented and the graduate schools recognized your value!
Karajan Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 My Cornell application finally says complete, in big capital letters! Thanks, Cornell chrisp 1
purpledinosaur Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Got an interview at CUNY on February 18! I'm thinking that the Michigan results will be rolling in pretty soon too, considering all the decisions from other departments... eep!
snes Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 yep, mine's in all caps too, hahaha. Last year they mailed rejection letters on Feb 8th, so their decisions are not too long from now! congrats purpledinosaur!
snes Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 hey, Duke waitlists are out? I haven't heard anything. Usually acceptances and waitlists come together (or waitlists soon after acceptances) so .....
Karajan Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Also, a Harvard admit went up in the results board? Wasn't me...
snes Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 not me either, so I'm hoping these posts signify the beginning and not the end of notifications from these schools!!
kccur Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Yeah, I'm interested to hear back from Yale and Texas. Nice to know that at least Yale probably won't be too long of a wait to find out about interviews. Based on the ridiculousness that is the Texas application system (felt like their were 18 different forms and places to send things for them, not to mention one of their pages is dedicated to applications for study of "voila"), I'm not really expecting an expedient response.
cellistmeg Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Congrats on the UNC Chapel Hill acceptance! Was that anyone here by any chance...?
amadeus122 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Any composers apply to Rutgers or Temple? I submitted my apps back in November after meeting with professors at both schools and still haven't heard anything. (The dept. admin. at Temple wrote me 10 days ago saying, "The faculty will begin reviewing files next week and will be in contact regarding any outstanding items.") I'm convinced that the fact I haven't heard is a bad sign.
bshelley1 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Got chicago acceptance via email. Any ideas on when yale will report?
Karajan Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Well done, bshelley1 No idea about Yale... This week, maybe?
purpledinosaur Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Congrats, bshelley1!! That's awesome news.
snes Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 yay, bshelley! You going to the visit day in April? no other updates on my end either. Other than a really nice skype interview with Pitt this morning.
Karajan Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Every time I get an e-mail, I have a minor heart-attack. I think I will hibernate for the next two and a half weeks... for safety's sake... Edited February 6, 2012 by Karajan
snes Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 yeah, my friend forwarded me 5 emails at once this morning.
bshelley1 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Yes, I'll go to the april visit. I was at penn last week for an interview. Yale should hurry up and report!
snes Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I'm going to Penn this week! I still haven't gotten an itinerary so I'm pretty nervous.
Compoe Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) I can say that McGill's composition admission committee won't be meeting until later this week or early next, for those who may have applied there. Congrats to those of you who've already been admitted! Purpledinosaur, given your profile and the schools in your sig, I think that I know you (cue the stalker music). If the phrase "mirror, mirror on my floor" has a special significance for you, I think that'll settle it. Edited February 7, 2012 by Compoe
Compoe Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Compoe - are you a current McGill composition grad student? If so - expect some length PMs in your future! Indeed, I am. I can't promise in-depth responses for the next couple of weeks, as my Master's thesis is being performed quite soon and I'm spending all of my time working on the electronic sound files for it. That said, feel free to get in touch and we can go from there.
purpledinosaur Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 LOL Compoe, you internet stalker! You probably have a porcupine named Zazoom who helped you figure it out. Personally, I'm living for donuts and venison... and that's true. And specialty gopher meat.
Karajan Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hey friends, Someone I know just heard from CUNY (admitted). Look out for results soon!
