<p>-Recommendations: Stellar. I was told by two professors that their recommendations would be glowing. (History and Music Theory professors.) Also sending in supplementary recommendation from music director/conductor of the Maryland Symphony.</p>

<p>-Statement: Very strong. I want a broader approach to my musical/intellectual education and have already exhausted my options at USC, as I have finished every undergraduate orchestral conducting and theory class offered here. I need more rigorous courses in said areas and want more interdisciplinary options. Very few music electives available.</p>

<p>im not sure you're looking at the right school if you want to study music...</p>

<p>I suppose I want a more intellectual approach to music and the opportunity to study other fields as well.</p>

<p>Have you considered Rice? Or maybe the University of Rochester? It seems like they might be a good fit for you. </p>

<p>I don't know too much about UPenn's music program, but I would find it hard to believe that it is significantly better than USC's.</p>

<p>I appreciate the advice, but it's really not the point: what are my chances at UPenn?</p>
