- Applicants are notified of their audition or portfolio review results in writing only after all auditions and reviews are finished. Results will be mailed no later than April 1. If the audition result is favorable, the School of Music will recommend acceptance to the
Office of Admission, and the Office of Admission will determine if the student's academic records meet the standards of Carnegie Mellon. If the audition result is not favorable, the applicant will not be admitted to the School of Music, but could be admitted to Carnegie Mellon through an existing application to another school of study.
