hey... question about college.... i wanna do music and psychology?

Question

hey. my freshman and sophmore yr in highschool i pretty much clowned around and got c's... but now im a junior and i've matured and im gettin a's and b's. I wanted to know what college might accept me even though my freshman yr and sophmore yr i got c's?

i was thinking of majoring in music, and minoring in child psychology, maybe vise-versa

can you name some good colleges for music.. and some good colleges for psychology that might still accept me reguardless of my past?

do you think recommendations and the fact that ive been a volunteer and im in alot of programs such as "the national foundation of entrepreneurship [NFTE]" will help me get in some good colleges.

Answer 1

Good music schools will for the most part judge you on your audition (& a music theory test--but the audition is most important). You still need to meet the college/university's entrance requirements (SAT scores, etc.), but typically the audition is what counts for getting into music school.

Combining music & psychology is easy--you could major in music therapy.

My experience is that essays and volunteering don't really make a difference with music school. It's all about talent. Also if they need your instrument in their orchestra (e.g. they don't want all violinists).

If you are a voice major, make sure you can play piano & site sing/play.

If you want to major/minor, I would suggest minoring in music (unless it is really your first love).
