hey guys, i have a question.

if i apply to NU's college of arts and sciences for a pre-med related major, can i also do a double major in the music school? do i have to audition for that? should i use the art supplement in this case? or no...

If you're admitted to WCAS, you can't have a major in another school. If you were admitted to the music school, you could also major in something in WCAS.

so i have to apply to the music school first?

oh and what about minor?

if i apply for the college of arts and sciences...and do a pre-med related major..can i minor at the music school?

I'm pretty sure you can only transfer to the School of Music once accepted into WCAS. The AdComs said that if you double major or minor and you're a student of the School of Music, your PRIMARY major has to be in the school of music (for a performance major at least, i'm not sure about the non-performance degree). But it's super hard to get admitted as a freshman, or transfer once accepted to any other Northwestern college.
You can't minor at the music school if it's performance.

so the music school is pretty hard core then...
at what level is it? Juiliard/Curtis?

Glenny

it's not a conservatory so you can't really compare. But I've heard is the best non-conservatory. I love that about northwestern...

SO yea... HARD. CORE.
