Music School Admissions: Ultimate DIY Guide

Schools establish firm deadlines for submitting applications and all the materials that go with them, like prescreening videos and essays. It takes time to prepare these. If you’re not careful, you miss the boat (and often there’s no later one you can board.)

By not waiting to start the music school admissions process, you’ll also have more time to:

• discover and explore great schools
• meet early application deadlines
• plan college visits
• understand financial aspects
• cater to particular application requirements

Plus, not waiting to get started gives you more time to identify and overcome issues that might impair your chances for acceptance at top schools.
