<p>I am panning to major in the biological sciences and possibly minor in music. I was also planning on submitting an audition CD or getting a live audition. How much could a half-decent supplement help in the admissions process? </p>
<p>So...what are my chances? What do I need to do in order to give my self a shot?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
