Zach, please call the School of Music admissions office to make sure you get current, correct, information, but the Common App supplement traditionally is not adequate for application to the SOM.

Further, just to be clear, I do not believe you can double major in comp and CS. You CAN however, dual degree.

That means you apply to LSA or COE for computer science, AND you apply to the School of Music for composition. It is possible to be accepted to both, rejected by both, or accepted by one and not the other, and the two applications are not connected.

However, since my son applied dual-degree back before the common app, I’m not 100% certain how they handle it now. SOM admissions, however, will point you in the right direction.

There’s this comment on the SOM applicant info page, which suggests that you can submit some of the info via common app:



Send all the required materials. Upload all the items you can with the Common Application or through your DecisionDesk profile. Send anything more to smtd.credentials@umich.edu. Double-check the Applications Materials Checklist for a list of all the requirements.



For composition, here are the initial upload requirements, which would be followed by audition/interview etc.



Portfolio Requirements and Audition Dates

All composition applicants must upload up to seven scores of your musical compositions (PDFs) with recordings of each work. All musical styles are welcome, though the departmental curriculum is geared toward composing for classical instruments and ensembles.

All materials must be uploaded by December 1. (We do not accept hard copy materials in the mail.)



Hope that helps.
Good luck!
