<p>Do I have a shot???</p>

2

<p>Yes, you have a shot.</p>

3

<p>you have an average shot b/c you're such a typical applicant. Nothing really stands out. I hate to say it but it seems like every asian plays an instrument well. ED will obviously help but RD id say 20% chance(which is average shot).apply though for sure. if you do music, you blow them away with your audition and you're easily in.</p>

4

<p>Actually, you are not allowed to send in a musical supplement. Don't do it.</p>

5

<p>Apply to the 5-year Double Degree Program in Music and Science, if you want/plan to pursue both studies in college.
I think you have a decent chance. Just write good essays.</p>

6

<p>I wasnt talking about a supplement. If you apply as a music major dont you have to audition for it? One of the girls at my school is going to NU as a vocal major/music teaching and had an audition.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, for a music performance major, you audition. Same goes for the double degree program...which I am in. Heh.</p>

8

<p>Oh, I thought you were just going to apply to Northwestern CAS or something. If it's the music school, then ofcourse, there's an audition. Haha. I think I missed that part of your post.</p>
