Program Information and Application Requirements The Juilliard School seeks students whose talent and commitment to excellence promise future achievement in their chosen areas of major study. To be considered for admission to The Juilliard School, prospective applicants must 1. submit an application for admission; 2. provide supporting documents and materials, and; 3. audition (or interview). The Committee on Admissions selects students primarily on the basis of their performance at competitive auditions held at The Juilliard School and in selected cities around the country. All auditions are evaluated by members of the faculty. No admissions decisions will be made until all credentials and required documents are on file.
The School does not set a minimum or maximum age limit. In general, however, the faculty and the Committee on Admissions will give preference to applicants in the formative stages of their artistic development who will benefit most from the type of training available at Juilliard. The Juilliard School admits applicants of any race, color, or national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at The Juilliard School. It does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race, color, or national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs. An annual Campus Crime and Security Report is available upon request. Applications for the 2011-12 academic year must be submitted by the stated deadline for your chosen division. Majors that are not pre-screened are guaranteed an audition (Acting, Dance, selected Music departments). Pre-screened majors are reviewed for audition invitations (selected Music departments). Playwrights do not audition, but selected finalists may be scheduled for a personal interview with members of the faculty and/or administrative staff. All applicants invited to audition for The Juilliard School must perform in person for members of the faculty according to the requirements in their respective departments. The Juilliard School does not accept video auditions, under any circumstances, nor may applicants audition outside the published audition dates. Those applicants scheduled for auditions will receive notification approximately one month prior to the audition. Pre-screening results will also be sent at that time. You may not apply more than two times to the Dance and Music Divisions or three times to the Drama Division if you receive unfavorable results. Applicants who are admitted must begin their studies in the fall semester. New students may not enroll at midyear or defer enrollment. Admissions decisions are not related to financial aid applications or decisions. Undergraduate Dance and Drama applicants are eligible for either the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree or the Diploma. Both the B.F.A. and the Diploma in Dance and Drama require a full four-year course of study. The Diploma program does not include a Liberal Arts curriculum. Undergraduate Music applicants are eligible for either the Bachelor of Music degree, which is a full four-year course of study, or the Diploma, which requires at least three years. The Diploma program does not include a Liberal Arts curriculum. Generally, high school seniors and undergraduate transfers should apply to the B.M. degree.

Official transcripts must be in a sealed envelope, or be sent directly from the issuing institution. This applies to U.S. and international applicants. Drama acting applicants who are called back at the auditions will receive a request for a transcript at that time; otherwise, it is not required. Transcripts for called back applicants must be on file by March 11. Official transcripts must be in a sealed envelope, or be sent directly from the issuing institution. This applies to U.S. and international applicants. For applicants who are graduates of foreign institutions, those studies must be equivalent to a U.S. high school. Equivalency information and translations may be obtained through the World Education Service, (212) 966-6311. Applicants must submit official school transcripts accompanied by notarized English translations by February 15. Graduation From High School
Home Schooling Documentation: The Juilliard School recognizes home schooling as a viable educational alternative; however, there are important and explicit regulations governing acceptable documentation. Home-schooled applicants are expected to complete the Home Schooling Information Form. This information includes the submission of a full outline of the curriculum by subject, including textbooks for each course; assessment procedures and grades; and evidence of official recognition by the school district and/or state department of education. Juilliard reserves the right to rescind admission to any applicant whose file documentation is deemed insufficient and/or incomplete. General Equivalency Diploma (G.E.D.): High school equivalency diplomas are issued by states to eligible applicants who pass the qualifying examinations. Specific age eligibility and proof thereof are required. The Juilliard School adheres to the regulations governing eligibility established by the New York State Education Department and will accept G.E.D.s from qualified applicants. Please note: While there are valid reasons for certain applicants to obtain the G.E.D., Juilliard does not recommend it as a substitute or shortcut for a traditional secondary education. In addition, the School reserves the right to rescind admission to any applicant who does not meet the appropriate state education department regulations as written. TEST OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (TOEFL) The TOEFL will be required of all applicants for whom English is not the native language, regardless of citizenship or study at an English language institution.

Letters of Recommendation All first-time college applicants must submit a recommendation letter from a high school academic teacher, preferably in English, history, or other language arts course work. Juilliard continues to renew its efforts to identify and educate leaders in the profession, students who can be not only outstanding performers, but also effective advocates, collaborators, teachers, and community partners. The impetus behind this requirement is to gain insight into the applicant's abilities in English and should acknowledge the applicant's speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension abilities. Home-schooled applicants should submit a recommendation from someone other than a parent who can address the issues listed above. If needed, a college professor would suffice for transfer applicants to Dance and Music. In addition to a letter from an academic teacher, applicants to the Dance Division must also submit a letter of recommendation from a dance teacher. In place of a letter from an academic teacher, transfer and college graduate applicants to the Drama Division should submit a recommendation from a major teacher who can discuss his/her work as an actor. Applicants to the Music Division (with the exception of Composition majors) are not required to submit a recommendation from a musician or music teacher. All applicants, please see Recommendation Form for further details. Transfer Applicants Transfer applicants must submit official transcripts for all full-time college level study. Applicants who have attended less than two complete, full-time semesters of college must also submit official high school transcripts. Transfer applicants who enroll in the Dance and Drama Divisions should be aware that the training is a mandatory four-year program. The minimum required residency for transfer applicants to the Music Division is two years (three years for Voice majors). Advanced standing for Music applicants is based entirely on faculty evaluations of the student’s capabilities and by the placement exams that are administered after acceptance. Credits in liberal arts courses taken at accredited conservatories, colleges, or universities may be transferred after the registrar has assessed the official transcripts from those institutions. Credits in these subjects will be evaluated in light of the liberal arts requirements in the Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Fine Arts degree programs at Juilliard. Credit will not be allowed for courses in which the applicant has received a grade lower than C or its equivalent. Transfer students are required to take a minimum of 12 liberal arts credits in residence at Juilliard. Standardized Tests Juilliard does not require the SAT I or SAT II.
