Visarale, D did DIII athletics and pre-med. That was hard enough. The day was usually jam packed. One advantage we found was that the runners were partiers but also reasonable because they were competing once per week and usually kept themselves sane by having the exercise. There were only a few pre-meds on the team and they were supportive. Others, not so much. Not sure how much time committment the music would be, but from what I’ve heard it can vary quite a bit from school to school. If you’ve narrowed your list, is it possible to get connected to current students at the schools you are considering and have a discussion? Even if you haven’t narrowed the list, you could contact coaches in your sport at some LAC’s and ask for contacts. Coaches were quite supportive with those types of questions when D was looking.
