music Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks!! And it's University of Chicago that I've heard from so far See you in March It's nice here, except the snow.
musicophile Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 See you in March It's nice here, except the snow. Thanks see you then! I've only been in snow once before (when I was performing at Carnegie Hall last year) so I still have a love for snow - but I'm sure a harsh winter will soon sort that out!

Yeah, I used to think it was fun...skiing, snow angels etc. Actually, more like hell on earth in these quantities.
Counterpointer Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 i don't see anyone applying to CUNY. Nobody likes CUNY?
InTheory Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 CUNY theory interviews are coming up in a little over a week.
thcg2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) does anybody here have any idea if Northwestern Music Theory and Cognition requests interviews for the PhD program, and if so, when they send out their requests? It seems like it should have been sent out by now Edited February 5, 2015 by thcg2015
InTheory Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I also thought we should have heard about interviews for Northwestern by now... I haven't heard from anyone who applied there.
Walshpossible Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Hey, just letting you two know that I was extended an invitation to interview last month for Northwestern and the actual interviews are next week....soo....sorry about that.
InTheory Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Hey, just letting you two know that I was extended an invitation to interview last month for Northwestern and the actual interviews are next week....soo....sorry about that. Your interview is in Ethnomusicology or in Theory? I think that might make a difference.
theory411 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Your interview is in Ethnomusicology or in Theory? I think that might make a difference. According to a theory friend's friend, Northwestern gave out interviews already.
InTheory Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Has anyone heard about Columbia interviews yet?
Walshpossible Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 It looks like Penn interviews are out as well. (Ethno)
Karajan Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 It looks like Penn interviews are out as well. (Ethno) Musicology, too.
CP3 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Anyone on here have past experiences with grad school interviews? I have one next weekend. I've had plenty of job interviews, but never an admissions interview
Counterpointer Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Anyone on here have past experiences with grad school interviews? I have one next weekend. I've had plenty of job interviews, but never an admissions interview I think a lot of us have.. which school? congrats for the interview
CP3 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks. I don't want to say the name of the school, the internet makes me a bit paranoid. Not a "big name" school, but nonetheless, a good opportunity. Just curious as to the experiences some you have had. if any. (No school names necessary)

AuntyOwl Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I interviewed at Columbia for musicology a few years ago. Interesting… In that case, I guess I can convincing myself about that rejection. Thank you for your input Karajan and Theory411.
AuntyOwl Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I wonder if the same holds these days. I am wondering the same…
AuntyOwl Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 i don't see anyone applying to CUNY. Nobody likes CUNY? CUNY is great! I will be interviewing there next week. Yikes! Terrified but looking forward to it.
danaria Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Any past or present U of Toronto MA ethnomusicology students out there? I've applied to U of T for the fall and I have some questions about the program (specifically about the major paper elective) to which I can't seem to find the answers on the uni website...
Counterpointer Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Thanks. I don't want to say the name of the school, the internet makes me a bit paranoid. Not a "big name" school, but nonetheless, a good opportunity. Just curious as to the experiences some you have had. if any. (No school names necessary) I'm on the same boat.. Not really big schools. When I was doing my masters I learned that even from 'small' schools there are a lot of great things. Not to offend anyone but one of my undergrad profs was absolutely terrible (yale phd, bragged a lot too) while profs from smaller schools seem to work even harder because of their 'inferior' academic background. I'm not applying for composition (studied comp. as undergrad though) but there are some prestigious composition programs around the country that I really can't stand. But I also saw many great composers coming out from 'smaller' programs too. I sometimes wonder if composers are distracted by rigorous academic curriculum at big names and not able to spend enough time on compositions..
Walshpossible Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Anyone have any advice for the Penn interviews?
klavier Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Hey everybody! I noticed that someone posted about a Yale Musicology PhD interview... does that mean that they have already offered the Yale Theory PhD interviews as well? Also, any news on Harvard or Columbia? Best luck to everyone!

Best luck to everyone! I had a Harvard interview a couple of weeks ago, but haven't heard from Columbia yet.
