You may want to post in the music major forum, see link below. There are lots of knowledgeable posters who may have experience with FIU auditions.

Class of 29 Undergrad/Class of 27 Grad: All Things Related to Music School Applications (prescreens/tours/interviews/auditions/supplements/etc)

That is a good point about the program, and yes, kids can do that, they can take music classes at Tufts and have a teacher for lessons, and take theory and whatnot (at least should be able to). Harvard like most if not all the Ivies doesn’t offer a BM degree, but they have orchestras and they will pay for lessons for the kids, plus their own music departments can offer them theory and ear training and the like. Among other things elite schools like that are proud of their orchestras and they definitely give weight to kids who are musically advanced in entrance (the kids are generally also academic up there kids, too, it isn’t like sports). A number of the kids who graduated with my son from prep were going that route, getting the degree from an elite university while continuing to do music.
