What would be a good way to get into Julliard?

If you live in england london is it hard to get in Harvard or julliard in america?

  • me and my friends sanije and Caitlin want to go to America and live our life's there we nearly have the money the thing is we really want to go to a collage like Harvard or Julliard, will we have a chance of getting in? and if we applied will all three of us get in? by the way we are teenagers at the moment Need an answer quick..... and how much money do we need!?!?!?!?xxx

  • Answer:

    It depends. If you're wanting to go to Julliard, you need to be EXTREMELY proficient in whatever instrument you play. Also, it's very, very expensive. And for Harvard, as well as a lot of other Ivy League schools, you'll need a few connections to get in really easily. Otherwise, you'll need just about perfect grades in every class. Don't think you can just be smart, either. They often require a lot of out-of-school activities such as community service, clubs, sports, and other things that make you well rounded. I hope you realize that these are extremely difficult schools to get in to. No joke. *Edit: I'm sorry honey, but based on your lack of proper spelling, you've got no chance.

Are you serious? Harvard is around $50,000 per year and has among the strictest admission requirements in the world.

American colleges are known for their cosmopolitan character. Every top university in the land (with the notable exception of the US Military Academy) will accept a good student regardless of where he hails from. The question therefore isn't whether you're an Englishman (which I suspect they won't mind anyway due to Anglo-American cultural similarities and connections), but whether you're good enough. Harvard currently has a 7% acceptance rate, a university record, national record and probably world record. Juilliard has a slightly higher 7.4% admission rate. You might want to reconsider your "collage" choices and for a start, at least look at the other Ivy Leagues, if not the top 50 or 500 universities. At RI (which incidentally has been described as the "Gateway to the Ivy League"), we apply for no less than ten Anglo-American colleges during our senior year, so if you're serious about seeking higher education in the US, you should start reading up on a wider range of US colleges (finding out about, and going about fulfilling, the admission requirements), taking the SAT exams (and preferably get nearly full marks, if not full marks) and beefing up your student development portfolio (American colleges are most concerned about extracurricular activities, whether student leadership or community service). That way you'll have a chance of getting in, though by no means a high chance. It's either connections or pure genius, which I speculate is not a gift many are endowed with. As for the money, I hope you're serious about having enough, because US college tuition fees edge on the ridiculously high. Harvard charges USD 60,000 every year and Juilliard slightly less, at USD 50,000. That is before all your personal expenses, including your transatlantic flight, domestic flight and train ride. The three of you should be armed with at least a million bucks if you aren't going to take on a student loan. And if your neural department is advanced enough to secure you a place at Harvard or Juilliard you're probably going to continue your education, which means more bucks to pay the graduate school.
