Emory Music Supplement

Hey guys,
Got an email from the admissions office a while ago:
From the preliminary review of your application, your music talents and interest in continuing in college have come to the attention of both the Admission team and Department of Music. As Director of Performance Studies in the Department of Music, I work closely with my Admission colleagues in the recruitment of students who wish to participate in our programs, regardless of their major or planned area of study.
Although I haven’t applied (and do not attend to) for a major or minor in music, how would sending a supplement help my application? Since it’s due in about 10 days, is it worth spending time on making one?
I’m quite keen on attending Emory.

I got the same email too and I’m not going to major in music either. You can participate in music programs at Emory and not be a music major, which is what the email is talking about. It won’t hurt and could possibly get you in so I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to make one.

Curious what you indicated on your application that may have shown your strength in music? My D indicated a lot of musical ECs, but got nothing. She also has pretty good stats (4.0/4.5 and 34C). Curious. She would love to participate in ensembles.

I got one but for dance/theater
I’m not majoring but my ECs include dance captain of my company, years of competitive dance
Also acting training and representation from a talent agent

I received this email as well. I think it is meant to enhance their understanding of your skill and it can only help your chances, so it should be worth your time. I’m planning on recording a supplement myself though I don’t plan on studying music either.

@30socks I indicated that I made All-Eastern Orchestra on my app and played in a bunch of other ensembles all for the same instrument
