Admissions Overview
Juilliard is highly selective, accepting just 10.6% of applicants. This means fewer than 1 in 10 students who audition will earn admission. The school doesn't rely on standardized test scores like traditional colleges. Instead, your artistic audition determines everything. With only 460 total students enrolled, competition for each spot is intense. The 97.2% retention rate shows that students who make it here rarely leave. Juilliard seeks artists who demonstrate strong technical skill and artistic promise in music, dance, or drama. You need years of serious training before applying. The school wants students ready to train at the highest professional level from day one.
