<p>If i play the violin, and wanted to send in a supplemental music submission to the music department for them to critique it and send it to the adcom.... how much will it increase my chances? im not planning to be a music major..but im actually doing CALS bio. Im not the next mozart..but i personally believe i show some talent and dedication.. THANKS GUYS!</p>
<p>it will increase your chances by 17.625% If it's good it will help a little. Get your music teachers to listen to your CD before you send it in. Show variety.</p>
<p>you're joking about the 17.625% right</p>
<p>sure he's joking.</p>
<p>there's a lot of controversy over sending music recordings. some people believe that it helps; others believe that it won't do any good unless you are really, really good. but i guess it won't hurt to try.</p>
<p>hmmm...anyone else have any info about musical supplementals?!... im thinking about asking a music professor..but dunno :(</p>
<p>buuuuumppp</p>
<p>a professor where? I'm meeting with a professor i'm friendly with who's an ethnomusicologist in the music department tuesday, to chat. I'll slip in your question.</p>
