How 'good' do you have to be to apply for music schools?

<p>Not sure I agree with this statement about UMDCP. You all may recall…DS applied to NEC, Peabody, UNT, Hartt, Duquesne, BU and was accepted to all of these with significant performance based merit aid. He was NOT accepted to UMDCP. The year he applied, there was only ONE opening in that studio. So…I don’t think UMDCP is less stringent. And their facility is drop dead fabulous which adds to this.</p>

<p>If you (OP) think you suck…you need to change that tune a bit (sorry for the pun). One thing about performance majors is they have to have confidence.</p>
