<p>Hi, I am a senior and will be applying to Penn. I am wondering if UPenn has a good music program? I am not planning on becoming a music major, but a minor. I am wondering this because most of my extracurricular activities mainly involve music (orchestras, community service, ect.). I think that if UPenn gives some support for the music department, these ECs may be appealing. Though, if their music program and orchestra is not really popular or strong, I worry that my musical background and interest may go unnoticed in admissions due to a possible lack of attention to the music department. I also plan on sending a CD of my works. Any insight/suggestions/comments? (appreciably from UPenn students and/or music students at Penn) Thank you.</p>
<p>i have exactly the same situation as this guy, somebody please reply!</p>
<p>bump please!</p>
<p>I’m going to be doing some music stuff next year at Penn. Even though my application was primarily music I still got in, so I think you’ll be fine in that aspect. I’ve only heard really good things from Penn’s Jazz Band though, considering they’ve performed with all-time jazz greats. There’s a decent share of good ensembles at Penn, though.</p>
<p>EDIT two year old thread guys. welp thanks</p>
