APPLICATION PROCEDURES - INTERNATIONAL

A complete application package must be submitted for consideration. Required materials:

    2. Demo: Please submit your demo in DVD or CD-ROM form (by conventional mail) or online via our Admissions DropBox. Please note that submissions will not be returned. Recommended: Submit your school transcript(s) or any other recordings that further demonstrate your musical abilities. Required: Please refer to the links below for the minimum entry requirements:
    3. Non-refundable application fee of $100


Your application will be evaluated within 10-15 business days. Acceptance is based on the prospective student's level of musical ability as deemed appropriate by the school's admissions department. If English is not your first language, the TOEFL is not required, but it is strongly suggested to obtain a minimum score of 60. If you would like to send us your TOEFL score, our school code is 1987. Upon receiving the acceptance package via mail, students must:


    A. After submitting the Enrollment Agreement, pay 1st and 2nd quarter tuition balance or submit government assistance documents. It is recommended that you pay the course fee as soon as you are accepted; the deadline is 3-6 months before school starts. If classes are full, you will be rolled over to the next start date.

    B. Send a Financial Statement showing you have at least $15,000 for living expenses while in the US and a legible copy of your passport.

    C. Upon completion of the above items, you will be issued an I-20 form that is registered with SEVIS online.

    D. Submit a form I-901 along with a $200 fee. This is required before you can apply for a visa. This can be done by online credit card payment or by mailing a check. After paying, you can either print out a receipt, or one will be mailed to you. You must obtain this receipt at least 3 days before your visa appointment. Instructions online: www.fmjfee.com.

    E. Use your I-20 form to apply for an M-1 student visa at a US Embassy. Contact them to make an appointment and ask what documents you will need to bring. It may take a while to obtain the visa, so it is a good idea to start this process early to ensure you will be prepared when school starts.

    F. Send housing documents 2-6 months before school starts in order to use the school's Roommate Connection Program (optional).
