(no subject)
Ok so I know you're all dying to know...
Here's what ended up happening with my college applications/auditions:
I applied to
Sac State
UCLA
USC
University of the Pacific
Northwestern
Ithaca College
Indiana University
And I have officially completed auditions at all of them except Northwestern.
And here's the rest of the little factoids:
I have been accepted to Sac State.
I got in (academically) to Indiana University, but have yet to hear from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, which is the only reason I'd go there.
I intentionally decided not to audition at Northwestern, and they "YOUR-APPLICATION-HAS-BEEN-CANCELED" me. But I wasn't even considering it anymore at that point.
USC kind of sort of -ish told me I'd get in when I auditioned, but that's useless unless they offer me some $$$.
Ithaca sent me a rejection today, 6 days after my audition. I'm somewhat skeptical of this because it did not come from their School of Music, just the normal admission office, and that's suspiciously fast of them. But I'm not really set on going there either...too much of a hassle to get there and too snowy. Also the non-music academics probably aren't the greatest.
The saxophone professor at UOP is (supposedly) retiring (or did I infer from that facebook group incorrectly?), which may affect my decision.
At this point, Sac State, UCLA, USC and Indiana are very much in the running. Each has it's pros and cons. I'll save that for another time. Plus I still haven't heard from three of the four of them.
I'll hear about UCLA when everyone else hears about UCs (which is supposed to be this week, no?), word on the street is that Jacobs (or maybe just the sax studio) is making decisions/notifying us after their spring break, which is this week I think. USC said March 15th, I think...
Phew, that's everything I know. Sorry for rambling, but it's an awful lot to keep in my head. 7 schools, each with their own unique situations.
Juniors, I suggest writing down everything you submit to every school, and when. And then keep track of what they send you, via phone, email, or snail-mail. They like to use every method of contacting you. They also like to lose things and do really confusing things with codes and application numbers and stuff.
