Absolutely. My comments aren’t pro or con ED. I’m just responding to questions about it…in my opinion and experience. I certainly can be wrong.
Bienen does seem to attract high music and academic talent. It would be an great choice for a student wanting to be challenged in both the academic and music studies. Their dual degree program is known to be excellent. If a student is truly a great fit for the schools (music and other area of study), the curriculum and the faculty…they can certainly apply ED…and hopefully save themselves a lot of time and worry. It’s all about fit (maybe more so than a strategy to increase your admittance odds).
