Anyone?</p>

<p>I dont think many people are familiar with Music Performance, so thats probably why not as many people are chancing you. I dont know either actually, haha. Good luck with Juilliards! Havent heard any of the others’ music programs are amazing, but you can probably do it. Academics look much better after lots of standard classes in freshman year.</p>
