BassDad,
Excellent information and posts. Thanks very much. S2 is a HS junior and is interested in perhaps minoring or double majoring in music / performance (piano) along with a computer science major. Do you know if the process is the same with auditions and such before acceptance or if he would wait until he was actually enrolled in the school for this? One of the schools we will be looking at is CMU, but we can't visit until this summer. Doing an east coast visit during spring break with general liberal arts schools, where the music program is not as well known as the schools you mentioned. Academically he is top notch, so we can pretty much look at any level school as a possibility. Any insights or suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
