The ability to speak, read, and understand English fluently is an important factor in admissions decisions. You must submit one of the following test types to prove your mastery of the English language. If your score falls below the minimum scores listed here, you should carefully consider whether to continue the application and audition process.

# data[].attributes.body
There are three possible outcomes to the audition process:

Admit

1. The faculty recommends you to the Admissions Committee based on your potential and artistry as demonstrated in the audition.

2. The Admissions Committee evaluates your academic record and supplemental materials in order to determine your capacity to succeed at Juilliard.

3. The Admissions Committee makes the final determination of whom to admit based on their own evaluation, faculty recommendations, and the number of available openings in your major.

4. The Office of Admissions releases your decision letter.

Waitlist

1. The faculty recommends you to the Admissions Committee based on your potential and artistry as demonstrated in the audition.

2. The Admissions Committee evaluates your academic record and supplemental materials in order to determine your capacity to succeed at Juilliard.

3. You are placed on the waitlist because, although you are found admissible to the school, we have a limited number of openings.

4. Should a place become available, the Admissions Committee evaluates the waitlist, making offers of admission as necessary.

Deny
During the application process, there are three points at which you can be denied admission:

1. As a result of prescreening

2. At various points in the application and audition process

3. Following review by the Admissions Committee

A denial at any of these stages results in notification that you are no longer under consideration for admission.

These decisions will be posted to your application status page as noted on the timeline.
