<p>As for whether or not it will help you, take a read through this <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/738525-how-strong-music-ec.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/738525-how-strong-music-ec.html</a>, and the series of links pertaining to supplements. </p>
<p>There’s a few “out of the box” scenarios covered within the supp links. </p>
<p>The advice to stay within the parameters of what each school suggests/requires for supp submissions is sound.</p>
<p>“Average” ability will mean little. “Advanced” may help, but it’s very school specific. Even conservatory/semi-pro/professional talent may not be worth more than a data point or two at some schools for non-music admissions purposes.</p>
<p>If you can accurately gauge your skill set as advanced or higher, it’s probably worth a shot at the institutions you cite. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
