[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beautiful campus. Excellent institution. Some top programs. Proximity to Chicago.

Mine was accepted last year, and it was one of her final choices. She chose elsewhere in part because of the inflexibility of the music dept.

You probably know this, but ED does not increase chances greatly. Mine was admitted RD. Friend, excellent student w/ excellent ECs, was rejected in ED.[/quote]

How was the music department inflexible?  My DD is applying.[/quote]

Not the PP, but there are certain classes/ensembles you cannot be a part of if you are not a music major.  You won't be in the Symphony Orch or Wind Ensemble (top Orch and Band) if you are not a music major.  You cannot take the normal Music theory and Music history if you are not a music major---you will be taking Music Theory Lite/MH Lite.  
However, if you are a music major and double major with something else, the music dept is extremely flexible.  
Because you need to remember, that NU's music dept is in the Top 5 in the country and competes with Music Conservatories. It's audition based for the top groups and top teachers. [/quote]

The initial PP here. Yes, but part of the problem with double majoring is that it has to be a 5 year dual degree for pretty much anything but general music. And, gen music won't get you lessons.[/quote]
