<p>I am interested in majoring in Music Industry at Drexel. The website says in the Q&A section:
B.I hear the program is very competitive. What type of student are you looking for?</p>
<p>We are lucky enough to have a great program with exceptional students, faculty, and staff. Music Industry at Drexel is a community of people, all of whom share a passion for music and the music industry. We're looking for students who will bring something to this community. Of course, we check transcripts for a competitive GPA and test scores. We read all of the recommendations, and look closely at extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>We also look at applications to see what music or industry-related activities a student has participated in. Maybe they are in a band, or manage their friend's band. They might do recording or composing in their basement, or participate in street team activities for their favorite artists. We've had applicants who have done industry-related internships or have been very involved with school music productions and concerts as a musician, technician, or promoter. Participation in these types of activities shows us that an applicant is really interested in what we're about. </p>
<p>I get good grades (3.7 GPA), I got decent SAT scores (1230 out of 1600), and I play piano and guitar, but I have NO music industry experience. Is having this experience important? Is there anyone here who goes to Drexel or was accepted into the program who could tell me if I would get in? I am above the average GPA for Drexel admission, which is 3.4, and well within the middle 50% for SAT scores.</p>
