<p>After numerous emails, I've also received A TON of information. UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD, Irvine, and Davis are all willing to hear a music supplement. A UCSD professor actually told me to email him my music resume as well. All UC's provided an address for me to send a CD to, which is the direct address to the music department, and a conductor at Irvine even told me (in exact words) that "the university considers special abilities in its deliberations."</p>
<p>Because it took me a while to find this (for a friend whose kid is applying this year), even though I knew it was on the music department website somewhere, I thought I'd post the address of the person at Cal who reviews CD's. Hope it helps. The deadline is coming up for UC applications. Good luck to all of you out there.</p>
<p>"Since students are admitted to the College of Letters and Science and not to a specific department, auditions are not part of the admissions process. Students who would like their performance skills taken into account as part of their application may send a DVD, CD, score, or video recording under separate cover to the Special Talents Officer listed below. This is completely voluntary. Submissions to the Special Talents Officer should be sent between the beginning of December and the end of the first week of January.</p>
