<p>Hey all,
I'm planning on applying to Rice University. I wanted to hear from people who have attended Rice, especially people who are involved in the music program over there. Specifically, I wanted to know if it is challenging to pursue music at Rice as well as pursuing a pre-med track. please share any advice you may have.</p>
<p>Do you mean as a music major? Or taking music classes as a non-major?</p>
<p>You can’t major in music and be pre-med at Rice, the music school isn’t like other colleges, it’s a rigorous, very exclusive conservatory. With that being said, it’s definitely possible to be pre-med in another major and pursue music in non-major classes or through participation in the different ensembles from the Campanile Orchestra to the Symphonic Band to the Jazz Ensemble to the MOB (Marching Band).</p>
