<p>^^ Very.</p>

<p>In case any vocalists are wondering, Bienen School of Music matriculated 25 to 30 vocal majors this year (I don't know how many they accept, though, to be honest)! And this is according to my son, who is guessing.</p>
<p>My recollection is that we were told at the parent orientation that the overall acceptance rate for the music class of 2012 was around 10%, give or take a percentage point. I don't have data to back me up--that's just what I remember.</p>
<p>does anyone have any info about the Theatre Program? I know that they accept 50 guys 50 girls (right?) but how many actually matriculate?</p>
<p>I applied to McCormick because I thought it would be the easiest for me to get into. I have taken the most advanced math and science classes at my school. Now I am taking Multivariable Calc/ Linear Algebra and a REALLY HARD AP Chem/Phys program. However, I am kinda lazy and am only in the 11%. Crap. Maybe I should have applied to an easier school (Communication or Education). I played the cello for 7 years, do you think I should have auditioned for the music school.</p>

<p>Honestly, (by the way, I'm freshman in McCormick) and this goes for everyone, you should apply to the school or area that you are truly interested in, and could see yourself enjoying throughout undergraduate study. This doesn't mean you can't change schools once you get in, but I would strongly recommend doing it this way, because you'll get the best experience that way. The different schools at Northwestern require very different courses and talents, so it would be a bad decision to base your study on acceptance rates; just my opinion. So if you enjoy multivariable calculus, linear algebra, science, and want to pursue a field of engineering during your undergraduate study, then you made the right decision; if you enjoy playing the cello more than these classes, then you probably made the wrong decision.</p>
