<p>I'm going to be auditioning for a music major- piano performance. How much emphasis do these schools put on the audition compared to your grades, test scores, rank, gpa, etc.?</p>

<p>(My parents are only allowing me to go somewhere in the midwest...incase you're curious why my list doesn't include certain schools in other areas.)</p>

<p>Northwestern University
Lawrence University
Oberlin College
Saint Olaf College
University of Saint Thomas
Concordia College at Moorhead
Illinois Wesleyan University
Butler University
DePauw University
Baldwin-Wallace College</p>

<p>sorry i don’t think i can be a lot help since these schools look really unfamiliar to me except for northwestern, which i know is sort of competitive and selective, might be difficult to get in.
why don’t you check up usnews? i know there are some kind of rankings about art schools and admission rate or something like that.</p>

<p>If you’re talking about the St. Thomas in MN, it’s very very easy to get into.</p>

<p>Based on what I think I know about Lawrence, and what I take to be its ranking in relation to Northwestern and Oberlin, I’d say that auditions for those three are VERY important–if you want to be in their music programs.</p>

<p>Probably would be better to ask this in the Music Major Forum. From what I gather, Conservatories only care about the audition but colleges and universities do consider your academic profile. </p>

<p>Recently on the Music Major forum there was a person who “passed” the music school audition but was rejected by Northwestern Admissions.</p>
