Undergraduate Domestic Applicants - BalletStep 1: Complete the Indiana University Application Complete the online IU Application for Admission. Please note that there is a non-refundable $55 application fee. Please also note that the University Office of Admissions has a priority deadline of November 1, which means that students who apply by this date will receive full consideration for all scholarships offered by the University. Please note: Select "BS Ballet" as your intended program in the IU Application. Do not select "BS Dance" as this program is housed in the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation." If you are an international application, please click here.
Step 2: Send supporting materials to IU Office of Admissions Arrange to have the following materials sent to the University Office of Admission (see address at the bottom of this page):
Step 3: Complete the Jacobs School of Music online application Complete the online IU Jacobs School of Music application for admission. (You will receive a link to this at the end of the IU Application process mentioned above.) All applicants to the IU Jacobs School of Music must have their applications complete and received by the IU Jacobs School of Music Office of Admissions by December 1, 2009 in order to be considered for Fall 2010 admission. In order to audition during October or December, an application must be submitted three weeks prior to the audition date. Applications received after December 1 will be considered on a case-by-case basis depending on space availability. Please note there is a non-refundable $80 fee for this application (this is in addition to the $55 fee for the IU application).
Step 4: Request Letter(s) of Recommendation Download the Undergraduate Teacher Recommendation form (PDF) and give to your ballet instructor. All applicants to the Jacobs School of Music must submit at least one teacher recommendation. Your teacher recommendation must be received by the Jacobs School of Music Office of Admissions by the application deadline of December 1, and your teacher can fax, scan and email, or mail the form to us (see address below).
Step 5: Complete the Audition In your application, you will have indicated your preferred time to audition during one of our designated audition days (listed below).
Once we receive your application, you will be scheduled for your preferred date and you will receive a confirmation email with the exact time. Specific instructions with regard to audition day procedures will also be sent to you prior to your audition day. Please note: You may not complete an audition until you have filed a Jacobs School of Music Undergraduate Application.
Admission Decisions In the Jacobs School of Music, we operate on a rolling admission process. This means that once your applications to both the University Office of Admission and the Jacobs School of Music are complete, you have submitted all supplemental information, and have completed an audition, an admission decision will be made and you will be notified of an admission decision from Indiana University and the Jacobs School of Music as soon as possible. However, please note that no admission decisions will be made prior to the end of January. In other words, completing an audition in October or December will not accelerate the admission process; these weekends exist to facilitate convenient visits to the Jacobs School of Music at times when ballet performances are also scheduled. Accepted applicants who wish to enroll in the Jacobs School of Music for Fall 2010 must submit an enrollment confirmation to the Jacobs School of Music, and a $100 enrollment deposit to the University Office of Admission no later than May 1, 2010.
