I'm waitlisted for funding at CUNY.  I don't think I'd go unless it were free and I got a TA.  No more debt please!  

Let the other notifications come swiftly!

Got my first acceptance today - from CU Boulder. Nice to know that whatever happens, this year won't be a shutout.

Hello everyone,

I dont know if this is the right forum for posting this (so forgive me if I break any forum rules)

 

I am an Engineering student from India who has been working in Signal Processing especially in Speech/Sound. Merging it with my passion for music I came into Music Retrieval/Signal Processing and have been working on several research topics over the past year. As I was applying for Fall 2013 grad studies I had also applied to Stanford's MA/MST program (dream) offered in collaboration with CCRMA research group (computer sc.). This seemed tailor made for my kind of research interests and I had been in touch with Prof. Julius Smith from Stan.

 

Today I received my acceptance from Stanford's MA/MST program!!

 

I am extremely happy and excited. I need to start doing some research now about the coursework, fees, about stan, music in general etc. Any help from seniors or people in my field would be really helpful. Since I don't have any other students from my Undergrad university working in my field.

Congratulations, netp! I'm afraid I have none of the information you requested, but stick around this forum -- and maybe check out the engineering fora, as well. You may also want to try asking Stanford directly for alumni discussion groups. How exciting for you!

Really excited about Northwestern - the faculty are a fantastic fit for me, great financial package, and it was my top choice.

I'd also like to join in the congratulations! What a wonderful response, you should be absolutely ecstatic!!!!

Props! And in case you need another thing to be excited about, from my (very limited) experience, the Northwestern musicologist grad students are a fantastic bunch.

Thanks guys! I should mention that this is my second time through the application process (previously applied to NW for fall 2011).

Just got rejected by CUNY. I'm disappointed, but it's not the end of the world. Apparently, even with a fellowship, after the first year if the student does not establish New York residency s/he is responsible for the tuition at the in-state rate and I am not in a position to incur that expense. Okay, so let's see what UPenn, Columbia, and NYU have to say.

Good luck! UPenn is only now holding interviews.

Is anybody here going to CUNY's Prospective Students' day? Have they sent any information about it to anyone??

Hi, musicmage09, Would you happen to know if all the invitations to interview at UPenn have been sent? How about Columbia and NYU? But for my two rejections, I have heard nothing from any school.

I'm considering going. I emailed Anne Stone for a general schedule (since I'm also trying to combine the trip with catching up with family) and she said that the day generally goes from 10:30-5ish and will include a library tour, meetings with faculty, lunch with current students, and a reception.

I received a somewhat generic email from their graduate assistant last Wednesday asking for specific times to conduct an interview. My response was then forwarded to my POI, but I am not sure if all the invitations have gone out yet. You could probably email the graduate student and ask if all invitations have gone out. Send me a message if you want the email address. 

 

I received my acceptance from Columbia last week, and again I do not know if they sent out the other acceptances at the same time. 

 

I know nothing about NYU as I did not apply, but it seems some other people on this forum are also waiting to hear.from programs there.
