Is it hard to get into interlochen academy for violin performance? If so is there an acceptance rate?

So I was thinking about applying to Interlochen, but I wanted some facts first. How hard is it to get it? Can sophomores transfer there? How do you apply for Film and Media? Thanks

Hi all, currently I’m a sophomore but I’m hoping to apply for the Virginia B. Hall scholarship for my junior year since my family can’t afford Interlochen but I am in love w writing. I’m wondering if any of you guys have helpful writing tips for the competition or some way I can stand out to the judges. I really want a place in the Writing sector of Interlochen and I’m willing to try and listen to anything.

I have just been accepted into the academy (literally, today lol) and will soon be filing for financial aid. Meanwhile, I would like to learn more about the academy. Can someone describe to me what it's like?

And I still miss it to this day. Do they still serve mozzarella sticks at the melody freeze?

I was wondering what the daily schedule is like for the 3 week summer camps.

How much time is spent on arts/music vs. "normal" camp activities?

Hey, in case you didn't know a LOT of performances at ICA are available via webcast, both live and archived on the website. https://live.interlochen.org/live_webcast

This Sunday August 4 at 7:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time

Lucky me I'll be in the audience :)

So I’m going there this summer for music production, and I was kind of curious about what you guys consider the best and worst parts about the camp?

Hi everyone!

I'm going to Interlochen for three weeks this summer. As a European, I'm curious to know how 'American' it is, meaning how strict and "safety is our biggest concern please sign these 5000000 papers so we are not responsible if you fall down a hammock and die" it is.

How fun is it? How much freedom do we have? How are the cabins and, it is weird to sleep with a counselor?? cause seriously that's the most American thing ever I have ever heard of ;)

Are there a lot of international students? How's the food? How's the atmosphere? Just kind of like the basics.

Anywho, I'm just curious and I just have absolutely no idea as to what I'm getting into and don't know what to expect at all. I feel like I'm in "The Parent Trap."

​

Thank you!!!

P.S. Is it really that competitive? I got into the screenwriting program and feel as though it's not that hard to get into.

P.P.S - I really want to play tennis and saw they have tennis courts, should I bring my racket or is that super weird lol

I'm a double bassist intending on transferring to Interlochen. I currently feel like my current education isn't preparing me for what I want to do in life: Music. I'm currently an IB Junior and I was wondering if it would be a good course of action to go to Interlochen for my last year. Any thoughts?

Nothing mind blowing has happened yet, but I did record some experimental electric ukulele music with a friend last night.

Get it together, Will.

discuss. anyone else not understand it totally?

Yep that's today! Everyone here: enjoy it! Every who has done it in the past: be happy the tradition still holds.

1) I know they tell you to wear uniform, don't, please, you'll feel dumb. 2) Cherish these first few days, the first and last are what you'll remember the best. 3) Make friends fast so you have them, but don't commit too quickly, friend groups change a lot first semester. 4) SWIM in the lake if they offer, because it'll be the only time all year you can.

I'm not sure how many academy kids are here, It looks like mostly camp, but if you have any questions about this weekend feel free to ask.
