Mistake #2
Waiting too long
Schools set strict deadlines for application submissions and accompanying materials, such as prescreening videos and artistic portfolios. These require time to prepare well. Failing to start early can result in missed opportunities.
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
- meet particular application requirements
Starting early also allows you ample time to identify and address any issues that could hinder your acceptance into top schools, thereby increasing your chances of success.
