Hey CC! I’ve done some digging on this forum and couldn’t really find a definitive answer, so I thought I’d post. I’m applying into a STEM major to t20s, and music is one of my strongest ECs (I’m probably around the top 15 players in my grade in one of the most competitive states, think CA, TX, NY). I believe my music supplement is good and t10-20 conservatory-worthy, but I don’t really plan on writing about music much in my essays or pursuing any form of music education in college. Is it worth submitting a music supplement here (including two pieces ~10 minutes total, plus music resume, plus strong rec letter from teacher of 10+ years)? I’ve seen some contrasting opinions - some say that it won’t hurt, others say that it clogs up the AO’s time. Thanks for any and all input!
