Which is fantastic news, but like, I wish I could update my CV to all these schools that I applied to. I guess this is not the worst news. I'm pretty sure most schools will accept updated CVs at this point. At the very least, it wouldn't hurt to contact them and ask if you can submit an updated one because you've just gotten a new accolade.
KerriR Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Does anyone have an idea how soon after an interview schools tend to notify applicants of a decision? I've had an incredible week--an offer from one of my top schools and an interview with another. I'm hoping to hear back relatively soon from all of my schools so that I don't make a bad impression at or make things difficult for my potential program... musicology18 and LookingforMM 2
musicology18 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 The schools where I have interviewed said to expect something about two weeks after they finish interviews. But I imagine this can vary. Congrats on your offer and good luck in the next few weeks! KerriR 1
I'mReallyScaredIWontGetIn Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 Does anyone have any information on when any of the ives plan on sending out their results?
LookingforMM Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Based on results from past years, I think they're expected sometime between mid-February and early March. I know that many schools have only just started their spring term or are about to soon.
gweine Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I am applying for ethno this year. I haven't any update so far. How are the things with UC Davis? Any news from these people that interviewed? Edited January 23, 2018 by gweine
ks391262 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I just read in the results that someone (I assume it is the same person as they listed these results back-to-back and list the same GRE scores and undergrad GPA) applying for an MM in Composition was rejected from CU-Boulder but offered an interview at UMich. Seems strange to me that CU would reject them without an interview if they got offered one at UMich, considering UMich is a much more prestigious program. It's especially strange from my perspective as I got my MM in Composition at CU and considering my saga with getting rejected at UMich without interview this year (see my post above). Maybe it is all just a crapshoot after all, this whole application thing, and I shouldn't be reading the tea leaves and just hope I get lucky at this point.

Charles Ives? Just kidding, I assume you mean Ivies? For composition at least, it should be sometime in February for Princeton, by this Friday Jan 26 for an interview invite for Yale (School of Music), and late February for Cornell.
gweine Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Hey everyone. Any news from US Davis and Stanford??
JosePalacios Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 @gweine I got an email from a POI at Stanford, and will have a Skype interview this Friday. I'm a doctoral musicology applicant, btw.

mm3192 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a bit before choosing to create an account. Has anyone heard from other schools besides the aforementioned in this thread?
I'mReallyScaredIWontGetIn Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks for the tips. I can, semi-obviously see what has been said on the results page, but I was curious if anyone had asked the schools directly when they were releasing their info this year. Columbia is my top choice, so I'm on pins and needles waiting. @ks391262 I tend to think it's a crapshoot too. I've seen really talented friends get rejected flat out for years in a row, and others who have a weak CV and no teaching experience get into amazing programs. Who knows. LookingforMM 1

gweine Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Hey guys... It's very silent here in this forum... Do you have any updates? It's so stressful to wait for these results.

Waiting has caused so much anxiety though lol Edited January 29, 2018 by mm3192
Chery2013 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Hey all, I’m totally new to this thread, but I for those who applied to The University of Chicago I believe that they have concluded their admissions process. Cuz I got the email saying I was accepted on Saturday. KerriR 1

Chery2013 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I was accepted into their music history/theory PhD program. It’s the closest you can get to musicology there.

Congratulations and so there's a potential that we end up in the same cohort! That's amazing! Yeah, I imagine that they know but might be working out financial packages before sending out the word. I'm really hoping this is the week! Luckily I've got one admit (UVA), so I'm not too worried about hearing back anymore, just having trouble concentrating on both my undergrad and preparing for graduate!

Congratulations on the acceptance. Like ks391262, I'm applying for their PhD in composition, though I think my chances of getting accepted without any music degree, much less a master's, are very low.
