<p>You might want to check on the music major section of CC as well. My sense is that it may help a little at some schools if you audition or do a mini-lesson with a music deparment professor and they are very impressed. You might want to check which schools even offer or seem to pay attention to auditions and mini-lessons (and then plan how to get those set up. some schools have information on the music department section of the website for prospective students). I think Ivy is going to be tough with that grade point unless maybe you are at 2200. Emory is more possible. A few schools I noticed that musicians seem to pursue-----Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Williams, Rice, University of Rochester, Oberlin.</p>
