Sorry! I was rushing, I’m not sure why it says 3.7/10 I meant 3.7/4. And 1570!!!

Okay, thanks for letting me know! 
I’ll ask my literature teacher and my history teacher. Is it ok to have two humanities teachers?
If a college doesn’t have a musicology major, I’d probably apply as a music performance one/music history one. I prepared my music supplements, and my teachers offered support for LOR + feedback!

Okay sounds good! Thank you so much!
I think so, sorry!
Excellent. If you haven’t arranged a meeting yet at Vanderbilt you should reach out. They have a bachelor of musical arts major that allows for a performance major and easily accommodated a second major. You would also be competitive for their full scholarship but deadline is 12/1

Hi thank you so much for this response! I will definitely look into writing supplements (I have my music supplement ready!). I think I will apply to audition as BM and BA and decide later.
Ok I’ll cut down the ivies! You’re right, some don’t really suit who I am anyways.
Unfortunately, my school didn’t offer the best amount of support when I was ill. So I’m hoping to somehow explain that on my college additional info section.
Different schools have different LOR requirements. You’ll need to check with each school.
I see, thank you so much!

Ohh I see, thank you! What do you mean by setting up a meeting with them?
They do trial lessons for a small fee. You can meet the teacher and find out about the studio and see if it is a good fit for you. They do zoom if traveling before auditions is not reasonable.
Thank you so much! I never knew

I just fixed that in your thread title.
Sometimes the fee is not so small, unfortunately.
OP: Wouldn’t music performance be determined by an audition ?
At a BM program requiring auditions, this is absolutely true.
Then OP should consider adding Northwestern University’s Bienen School of music.
Perhaps others can comment, but on this list, I really don’t see a lot of strong music performance BM programs. Vanderbilt, UMich, BU, CMU have good music performance programs. The rest of this list just looks like tippy top schools.
So to @luciapolporo could you please clarify whether you are looking for music performance programs? If so, I’m sure we can add others. Northwestern is a good addition. Another could be Rice.

For less rigid academically, I believe SMU and Syracuse are both very good in music. In other words, better odds of getting in than the current list from an academic, not talent, POV.
If this kid does an auditioned music performance application, the academics he has are just fine. It’s the audition that will determine his acceptance.
