<p>i take all honors classes and a one AP and i want to be a teacher for music for special education... i've heard syracuse's program is great for this.</p>

<p>i've taken AP music theory and i received a 5</p>

<p>For most majors , I would say that you are a "shoe in." You certainly have demonstrated passion in your field, which is very important to admins. However, if you are applying as a music major, you probably have an audition, which will make or break you. If you aren't applying to major in music, your stats should be good enough.</p>
