theory411 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 This was from Yale University webpage. It was awhile ago that I had saved to my computer. Doesn't say musicology specifically. Yale PhD in music includes Ethno, Theory and Musicology.... am I correct? Comp at Yale is DMA through School of Music. Yes, you are correct.

CP3 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Great to see so much activity on here since I started the thread back in August. Currently I have one interview/test in a couple of weeks, one rejection and one "waitlist." The reason I put waitlist in quotations is because the told me in the email that "I was not invited for an interview, but they will keep my application open and re-evaluate it later on and give me a final decision late March. Has anyone had a similar email/response?
plasticities Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I got one rejection this week--not a surprise--and four interviews. The rejection isn't the best way to start the rejections/acceptances(hopefully) emails, but at least it's not getting my hopes up with anywhere.

Totally normal to start with a rejection, I started with an interview then a rejection from a different school a few days later. Congrats on all of those interviews plasticities! Wow!
theory411 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Congratulations to all the UChicago candidates!! Haha, to the few people above. I have only had one rejection and no interviews.
kccur Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Congratulations to all the UChicago candidates!! Haha, to the few people above. I have only had one rejection and no interviews. Don't worry too much about the lack of interviews. A lot of music theory schools don't do interviews (or, like Yale, sometimes interview and sometimes don't).
InTheory Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I received three theory interviews so far (two already took place, one is coming up).

A lot of music theory schools don't do interviews (or, like Yale, sometimes interview and sometimes don't). Oh, thanks a lot. Yeah, I didn't apply to Yale or Eastman or UChicago or Northwestern... I applied to 2 schools for Masters and I am guess they won't be having interviews.
kccur Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I received three theory interviews so far (two already took place, one is coming up). Best of luck! I'm looking forward to hearing how everyone here does once the results start rolling in.
Counterpointer Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Oh, thanks a lot. Yeah, I didn't apply to Yale or Eastman or UChicago or Northwestern... I applied to 2 schools for Masters and I am guess they won't be having interviews. which schools did you apply for masters?
plasticities Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Hey-- yeah in my book those 4 interviews totally outweigh the 1 rejection! Congrats! Where are you interviewing? Eastman, Indiana, Stanford, and University of Michigan. Waiting on results from all four--three were Skype--but I am not the one who got the acceptance to Stanford, unfortunately. Congrats to that person though!

Interesting -- Stanford never used to do interviews... Good luck!! :-)
music Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Interesting -- Stanford never used to do interviews... Good luck!! :-) They did them last year, FWIW. I remember doing mine with a 10 hour time difference, jet lag and a very dodgy hotel wifi connection.
plasticities Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Interesting -- Stanford never used to do interviews... Good luck!! :-) Thanks, though I'm assuming no news is bad news. Everyone I asked about the interview was kind of surprised, too. I don't how many "finalists" they pick for interviews. Does anyone have any idea?

I don't how many "finalists" they pick for interviews. Does anyone have any idea? It's usually about 6-8 finalists, but I don't know the exact stats for Stanford. But, hope that gives you an accurate approximation or an idea.
AuntyOwl Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 That's right -- Berkeley doesn't interview. Another one that does interview is Columbia. Columbia interviews?! Do you mean they interview to Ethnomusicology only or to all programs music related?
theory411 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Columbia interviews?! Do you mean they interview to Ethnomusicology only or to all programs music related? My friend is there for Theory now and he said they interviewed him last year. I cannot say for Musicology.
Karajan Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Columbia interviews?! Do you mean they interview to Ethnomusicology only or to all programs music related? I interviewed at Columbia for musicology a few years ago.
snes Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 In my day (2012 Fall), Columbia accepted some musicology/theory folks without interviews and rejected at least one person who was invited to interview. That person was me. I'm not bitter. Nope. PhoenixKing 1

musicophile Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Nice to read a thread specifically about music apps (and the seemingly endless waiting game!) I'm a musicology major from New Zealand So far, I've heard back from one of the schools I've applied to - with an acceptance and a fellowship. Haven't heard anything from my other four schools though! I'm hoping I'll hear something before I fly out in March to visit the campus that has offered me a place, so that I'll be able to look around more than one university - given I'm traveling over 24 hours to get there in the first place
