 Re: College--Auditions, double majors, etc.

Not that we need more input on this thread, but I'll add some more anyway.

I'm currently a double-major at Boston U for music performance and aerospace engineering, in my last semester. However, I would never advise someone else to do the same.

The problem with both music and any hardcore science is that if you want to excel, you need to devote all of your time and passion to it. I know for a fact that spending so many hours in a practice room has taken away from the quality of the work that I do in my engineering courses, and of course the reverse is true - if I hadn't spent so much time on my lab reports and spent more time practicing I'd be a much better musician.

The reason I still do it, though, is that I know I can't live with having music or engineering be just a hobby to me. Now if you feel the same way, then you'll probably end up in a similar situation, with your alarm clock set to 6am 7 days a week so that you might have time to practice almost half as much as you wish you could, and get maybe a third of the work done that you need to for your thermodynamics and aerodynamics classes.

Before you commit to it, think hard and make sure it's worth it to you.
