Music tapes for UC schools!

Applying to College
1

<p>So I'm an extremely avid flute player. I've worked with some of the best flute professors (my current teacher is a good friend of James Galway and her teacher was J- P Rampal among others) and pianists around California. I've attended numerous famous masterclasses, joined symphonies/ensembles, been accepted to many, done chamber music, done music theory (ABRSM), and won one National and one International competition. </p>

<p>I don't plan to major in music, but to minor instead. I don't think I'm bad in flute...I've been playing for a good 8 years. Do you think an audition tape will help my admissions into some UC schools (Davis, SB, Irvine, San Diego)? My GPA isn't very up to par, but my SAT's are okay. If I do, how do I send it in? Should I make a resume? How do I mention to the UC's that I would be interested in their orchestra? Any available information would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>if you're not applying to a Fine Arts major, they won't even listen to an audition tape. Same as sending in recs, which they say not to send. Right into the trash.</p>

<p>As for telling about the orchestra, you can mention that in your personal statement.</p>
