유학 준비를 하면 어떤 메일을 받을까?

[ROBO]

원래 저는 2009년도에 입학을 하기 위해 맨하탄 음대 시험을 친 적이 있습니다. 그러나 실패했지요.

급하게 준비하면 미처 돌아보지 못한 부분, 실수하는 부분이 생긴답니다.

이 기회를 빌어 미국 음대 유학준비를 하면 어떤 메일들을 받게 되는지도 알려드릴 겸
어떤 순서로 입시가 진행되었는지 학교에서 보낸 메일들과 함께 설명드리겠습니다.
원문 번역은 대충 했습니다.

1. 1차 시험 준비 : Pre-screening

학교마다 조금씩 다르지만 요구하는 서류는 비슷합니다.

영문졸업/졸업예정 증명서

영문성적증명서

토플 성적표

추천서와 에세이

개인기록 - 경제사정 등

많은 메이저 음대는 Pre-screening을 받습니다. 그래서 1차부터 직접 가서 시험을 치는 것이 아니라 CD를 녹음해서 보내고, 거기서 합격이 되면 2차시험을 보러 오라고 메일을 줍니다. 저는 11월 중순경 압구정 세실아트홀을 1시간 빌려서 녹음했습니다.

다음은 맨하탄음대에서 제가 보낸 CD를 받았다는 내용의 E메일입니다.

 Greetings from Manhattan School of Music! I am happy to report that your prescreen CD has been received, and that we will begin prescreening very shortly. At this time we are unable to check on recommendations or transcripts (both of which are not due until February 1, 2009), but you can rest assured that your online application and your prescreen cd are in our hands. We will be in touch again in the coming weeks with the results of the prescreening round (results should go out by December 20th). If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call or email us.

 All the best,

 Erin Winebark

Voice Admission Counselor / Manhattan School of Music / Office of Admission

12월 중순경, 학교에서 답장이 왔습니다.

이후 호텔 정보를 설명하는 메일이 하나 더 오지만 생략합니다.

Greetings from Manhattan School of Music!
 Below, please find information regarding accompanists that will be provided for your audition at no charge to you. You should print this email so that you can easily refer to it for phone numbers and/or email addresses.  If you have any questions after reading, please do not hesitate to contact us.

These accompanists have indicated their familiarity with standard audition repertoire; however, they would need significant advance notice for non-standard works.

그러나, 저에게는 문제가 있었습니다. 12월 중순부터 메일확인을 하지 않았다는 거죠.
그러니까 2차시험 합격했다는 통보 메일 자체를 2월이 넘어서야 본 겁니다.
그리고 전 그때 대학합창단 유럽순회연주 때문에 영국에 있었습니다.
어떻게 할 수 없는 상황이라 지금까지 받은 메일들은 선생님과 부모님께 보냈고
뉴저지 사는 이모님을 통해 늦게나마 2차시험을 등록하겠다는 의지를 밝혔습니다.

그리하여, 2월 21일 한국으로 귀국한 저는 23일 다시 미국으로 출국, 메일에 적힌대로 2월 27일 시험을 보게 되었습니다.
딕션 테스트는 최악이었습니다. 4개국어(영,불,독,이)로 된 노래 가사들의 IPA를 적고 해석하라는 것이었죠.
물론 영어는 해석 안해도 됩니다. 그러니까...예를 들어 독일어 시험은 An die musik이 나왔습니다.

Q           : Du holde kunst, in wieviel grauen stunden
IPA         :
DICTION  :

아무렇게나 쓰고 나왔죠. 아무튼 그렇게 한주 정도 있다가 한국에 돌아왔습니다.

그 후, 학자금 지원 신청과 관련한 메일이 왔습니다

[내용]
이번에 지원을 받고 싶으면 아래 적힌 신청서들 보고 작성해서 팩스나 메일로 보내라.

그리고 3월 31일, 2차 시험 합격 통보가 왔습니다. 그러나…반만 합격했다는 통보였죠

[내용]
니 노래 인상적이다. 꽤 괜찮더구만. 근데, 이번에 조금밖에 안뽑거든?
그래서 대기자 명단에 넣어뒀어. 넌 대기자명단 3명 중 하나다.
계속 이 리스트에 남아서 입학을 하고 싶으면 무조건 토플점수를 당장 보내.

Thank you for applying to Manhattan School of Music. The faculty was favorably impressed with the high level of your performance during our auditions.  However, the department to which you applied had a very small number of openings this year and we had to establish a waitlist. This letter is to advise you that you have been placed on the Classical Voice - Tenor Department waitlist.  You are 1 out of 3 for Masters-level Tenors. Please also be aware that if you decide to remain on the waitlist and wish to be considered for admission at a later date, you must send your Official TOEFL Score immediately.   

You will be notified of your final admission status beginning on or about June 1, 2009.  I realize that you have most likely applied to other schools that will want to know your decision for their school by the May 1st deadline.  If you are interested in holding your spot on our waitlist, you should contact your other schools and ask if it is possible to be given an extension.  We will work closely with you to keep you updated, and where possible, try to give you a decision before June 1st.   

Please complete the enclosed form and fax it to us as soon as possible at 212-749-3025, so we will know what your desire is at this point in time.  

Thank you for your patience during the next several weeks.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 212/749-2802 ext 2 or email us at admission@msmnyc.edu.

Sincerely,

Amy A. Anderson
Associate Dean for Enrollment Management

어…나 아직 합격 안했는데? 돈 내야 하는건가?
궁금증은 몇시간 후 온 메일로 풀렸습니다.

[내용]
미안타. 잘못 보냈다. 이건 된 애들만 받는건데 실수했다.
넌 아직 대기자명단에 있어. 님죄송.

I believe that you received an email this afternoon titled "MSM - Confirmation Payment Information." This email inadvertently went out to students who are currently "Pending" an admission decision or on one of several Waitlists (depending on the instrument), and I understand that it caused some confusion. Please accept our deepest apologies. Your admission status has not yet changed, but you will be notified with an official "Updated Admission Status" letter if/when it does. If you have any questions regarding your current status, feel free to contact us at 917-493-4436 or admission@msmnyc.edu.

Again, please accept our sincere apologies,

Sincerely,

그 후로 2번 정도 메일을 보냈습니다만, 학교가 바빠서 자동응답메일만 보내서 애가 탔지요.
그리고 5월 7일, 또 다른 메일이 옵니다.
[내용]
이번에 등록할거야 말거야? 대답 좀 해봐.

I am writing to ask you if you could please let me know your decision on whether you will be enrolling at MSM in September.
The graduate deadline to respond was April 15th, and while I realize that some students have requested extensions, many others have not. In order for me to know what the graduate class will look like, I need to have answers from all admitted students as soon as possible, so that I may report to my Senior Staff colleagues, department chairs, and the President on the specifics of our new class.

Would you kindly respond to this email as soon as possible letting me know your decision?  I would greatly appreciate it.
For those that were granted extensions until May 15th, if you happen to know your decision now, it would be great if you could communicate that to me.  If there is any other information that you are waiting for in order to make your decison, please advise me of that as well, so that I may get an answer for you.

I look forward to hearing from you soon, and hope that you will be attending MSM in September!  If you will be declining our offer, please remember to include the school that you have decided to attend, as well as the reason you chose that school.  This information is extremely important for all the reports that I need to prepare for my colleagues and the President.  We do study the trends of where students are choosing to go and why, so your input is very important to us.

All best wishes,

Amy Anderson
Associate Dean for Enrollment Management/Manhattan School of Music

당연히 등록은 하고 싶소만. 난 토플 점수를 내지 못하였소.
태어나서 토플을 한 번도 보지 않았기에, 잘 모르고선 늑장만 부리다가 7월 말에나 시험을 보게 됐거든요.
하지만 그래도 할 수 있는 건 해야겠기에, 학교에 다시 메일을 보내 이렇게 늦게 보내도 괜찮은지를 물었습니다.
6월 9일, 답장이 왔습니다.
[내용]
너 아직 명단에 있어. 바뀐 게 있으면 바로 연락할게.
어쨌든 토플 안내면 이번에 등록 안된다.
올해 안되더라도 니 기록은 내년에 쓸 수 있게 갖고 있을게.

Thanks for your letter. As of now, you are still on our WL for MM voice. If we are able to change that, I will let you know as soon as I can. Even if we are able to remove you from the Waitlist, you cannot be admitted without a TOEFL score, so it is to your benefit to send a TOEFL regardless. Even if your admission doesn't work out for this year, we will have it on file for next year.

All the best,

Erin Winebark
Admission Counselor

Office of Admission
Manhattan School of Music

그리고 결국 토플시험을 치룬 후 성적표를 보내면서
너무 늦은 것 같다고 메일을 보내니, 마지막 답장이 왔습니다.

[내용]
그래. 올해 입학하기엔 너무 늦었지. 일단 네 기록은 우리가 내년에 쓸 수 있게 갖고 있을게.
하지만 내년에 다시 입학신청 해야된다는건 알아둬.
우리는 토플 점수랑 추천서하고 사본(성적표와 졸업증명서)만 다시 쓸거야.

You are right. It is much too late for this year. We will keep it in your file for next year, but please understand that you will need to reapply and reaudition for Fall 2010. The only things we can re-use are your TOEFL, your letters of recommendation, and your transcripts.

Best,

Erin Winebark

보시는 바와 같이 전 이렇게 망했고, 1년이 지나서야 유학을 시작할 수 있게 되었답니다.

도움이 되셨나요?

robo님 지원시에 토플점수를 내지 않아도 pre-screen을 받을 수있나요?
