i’m choral music ed as well. At schools like Northwestern/Lawrence, you can easily get a 5-year dual degree in music ed + an academic field. At IU, there is a BSoF which lets you major in music plus an outside field. I know a few people doing both music and pre-med, and from what I hear, it’s extremely stressful and time-consuming. Also another thing to keep in mind is that a 5 year program is a whole other year of tuition and board. What I’d say is, if you’re 50/50, choose one and choose the pre-med track. You can always keep music as a hobby, and you can more easily get a stable job in the medicine field. The reverse is not true. But if you REALLY want to leave both options open, go for it!!
