[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have already done a lot of brainstorming with counselor and kid, but wondering if anyone has insights about selective schools WITHOUT a school of music (so, just regular BA in music with no audition required) where applying as a music major (having talent + activities to back it up) can be a tip? Someone mentioned Duke on another thread as actively looking for music majors. Wondering if this is a real thing.[/quote] We had a friend that got in as a music hook, but they were lucky. The Orchestra had one or two slots for admission and they would use them for the specific instruments they needed for that year. Our friend played the oboe and it was the “it” instrument that year. If anything had changed, it probably means they have fewer slots and not more. It is not like sports teams that have several slots.[/quote]
