<p>I know that the acceptance rate must be vastly lower than for the rest of the college.</p>
<p>I was specifically thinking about Boston University, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin.</p>
<p>Does anyone know? Or have an idea of where to find out?</p>
<p>From what I can gather, it depends entirely on the instrument/program. What is your instrument? It is a good question to ask the schools when you visit, because in a small program, every year can be different.
At Umich, I believe I’ve read that the music theatre program, for example, accepts 20 students from 600 applicants for a 3% admit. But it’s both very popular and very competitive.</p>
<p>The best source of info is the school itself. There are far too many variables to even assume what was true last year will be true this cycle.</p>
<p>Audition on clarinet, apply for music ed. Does the school usually publicly release this information? Can you ask them about it?</p>
<p>Yes, you can ask. Some may give you ranges, others last year’s detail. You may not get a breakdown by instrument or discipline.</p>
