My son got an acceptance letter to SUNY-Fredonia about a month ago. We were so excited for his first acceptance we didn’t read the letter carefully. He was accepted to the wrong music concentration. He inadvertently put down Music Industry on his application when he meant to put Sound Recording and Technology. He just sent an email to admissions with high priority asking what can be done. I’m a little panicked!!! Fredonia is a selective program for SRT and it is a strong contender if the financial aid for his first choice doesn’t come through, which is highly likely. What are the chances he can get it switched at this point???
The only people who can answer that are the people at Fredonia. Meanwhile, he should sit down with the Fredonia website, and look up the degree programs for these two majors. How many courses do they have in common? Can he fit the missing classes from the other major into his schedule as electives? Provided he gets food grades, how difficult would it be for him to transfer into the other major after he has started college?
Today we got an email from Fredonia saying very little, just that they are sending the issue to a counselor (admissions) who will review and respond. No timeline. The two concentrations are very different. Music Industry is a business degree concentration. No audition required, yet my son was contacted to have an audition and on that form he listed SRT as his first choice, and Music Education second. No mention of Music Industry. All this AFTER we got the initial acceptance letter. i can’t believe we didn’t notice the discrepancy 
Something is very screwy. Yes, he did put down the wrong major on his application but no one questioned why he was at the audition when he wasn’t required to be for the major he was accepted into…I think they’re as confused as we are. I don’t feel good about this at all.

Well the results are in, and it’s a moot point. He didn’t pass the audition Had he passed, they would have contacted him about the discrepancy and placed him in the correct major in the SOM. He’s more upset than he’s showing…It’s not a good day
