<p>My S was accepted to USC and Thornton in January (with the group notified for scholarships). His major is composition. They do not require an audition, although as their website states, the composition applicant may be contacted for an on-campus interview. S did send in the required CD and scores of course. He also had the optional off-campus interview with his regional admissions officer in December. My point is that the composition majors do not have an audition. Therefore their admittance is different than those requiring a performance audition.</p>
<p>Sorry- this probably doesn’t help the original OP.</p>
<p>Wishing he best to all of the music candidates! I hope we get to hear you at a music event next year on the USC campus!</p>
