College questions!

I’m a senior bassoonist and this is just a short sample of the questions I have about the college admissions process.

Is the Unified Application like the Common App in that most places accept it but would prefer their own application over it?

Essays- if the question is pretty general, is it better to write about music or not? On the one hand, it is a music program to which I’m applying, so obviously my music experiences are important, but would writing about something else make me look more well rounded? Or just less committed?

Does anyone have experience with bassoon at Boston University or University of Toronto?
