How Competitive Are Music Schools?

Just wanted to add to everyone else’s suggestions of CSULB and CSUF. Most of the universities told us that there is a minimum GPA they are looking for. Usually 3.3 or 3.0 unweighted. Good SAT/ACT can help as well. Some schools would not admit that their GPA requirements for music students are not the same, but in retrospect we know that to be the case.

There is a very helpful Facebook group: “Vocal Performance Parents” that you may find useful. One of the moms there attempted to put together admission spreadsheet with the number of applications vs enrolled students. You may find it useful.

From the universities on your list, my daughter auditioned at UW Madison and CU Boulder. UW Madision did not have a pre-screen and CU Boulder told us that 70% of voice applicants passed pre-screen.

Good luck!
