Congratulations to all those who have pressed “submit!” on their application for graduate study at UBC Music. Our faculty are looking forward to reading the materials you have provided, and excited to hear performance applicants audition, via video upload this year. Below is a quick reminder of some deadlines, and a few tips.
Dec. 1: Application deadline. If you missed the deadline, and are interested in a late application, please contact Juliet O’Keefe at music.gradadmissions@ubc.ca.
Dec. 15: Submission of additional documents: If documents were requested of you in your application that you haven’t uploaded yet (i.e. transcripts or English proficiency scores) you can upload them to your application by Dec. 15th by logging into your UBC Student Service Centre. When you log in, you will be able to see a list of the possible documents you can upload. If you know you have not submitted a specific document, but it isn’t on the list as possible to upload, please contact Juliet; she may be able to help.
Dec. 22: Deadlines for references, either eReferences or the arrival of hard-copy letters. Reminder about references: A reference MUST use an institutional email address or send their reference letter via Interfolio (to graduate.sas@ubc.ca) in order to use the eReference system. If you need to change one of your references’ email addresses, please email Juliet and she will update it so that an eReference link can be sent out to them.
Jan. 3: Uploading of video auditions for performance applicants / submission of composition portfolios: scores and audio/video of the associated recordings must be uploaded into CLAS/WeVu. If you have trouble uploading into CLAS, please contact me at katherine.evans@ubc.ca
January 10 and beyond: Some applicants may be contacted to have a live remote interview with members of faculty. Receiving a request for an interview or not does not indicate admission status, because there are a variety of reasons that faculty may wish to have a more in-depth discussion with applicants.
This post has been updated to reflect 2020/2021 deadlines.
