My son will be starting at the Conservatory in August - so I don't have any real answers to your questions. I do know that the director of music admissions, who is on this forum, is really helpful and will be more than happy to answer any of your questions. I also know that many, if not a majority, of the conservatory students are getting their second degree in either math or science. As for the amount of work - yes, it's alot - but no more than any other double degree program. With the added benefit that the school itself and all of the instructors have signed on to the philosophy of the double degree and will be there to support the students in their efforts. This is not always the case at every school which offers the double degree. Check out the Hopson Cottage Admissions blog linked on the main page of the conservatory website- there are a number of interesting conservatory posts. Also, if you haven't already read it, go to Peabody's admissions site and read their entry about double degrees. It really helps clarify if it's the right path for you.
