<p>first off, congrats on getting into music performance! Thornton’s awesome! 
I just worked with a bunch of Pop Music kids on a show and they’re all incredible. </p>
<p>You do talk to an advisor during orientation. I think music kids take Arts & Letters (Cat V) first semester, because my ARLT class was like 2/3 Thornton kids, but I suppose that could be a coincidence. Beyond that, I don’t know what you’ll take. WRIT 140 is challenging, but I didn’t find it too bad. I think it depends on the teacher. It’s not curved, your grade is based on the quality of your writing, plain & simple. You’re not compared to other writers in your class to the best of my knowledge, just to yourself.</p>
