Should all prospective student musicians send a music supplement to admissions?
No. Only the most advanced performers who are interested in continuing their music while at MIT, whether for credit or not, should send in an electronic music supplement for assessment by the music faculty. Only the top-rated classical, jazz, world music and composition supplements are considered in the admissions process. Supplements provide the admissions committee additional evidence of a student’s achievements. However, a music supplement without an ‘exceptional’ rating, has no impact on an applicant’s chances of admissions to MIT.
