I put biology down as my major because I want to go to med school, and it would just be easier because the classes overlap. I think biology is interesting, but I also like music. I know my grades would be a lot better if I majored in music. I’m just worried that I won’t get into any med schools and that all I’ll have will be a BA degree in music. The last thing in the world I would want to be is a band director. Do you guys think it’s worth it to risk it and major in music since I’ll probably get better grades? What can you do with a music degree alone? Also, how good is the music dept. at UCLA? Am I even allowed to change my major to music education if I didn’t audition? It’s not like I want to do music performance.
