We’d love to get more information on any of these, or ideas on something new. We live in Washington, and UW is a great school, but music isn’t as strong as their math, though they offer many math degrees… and she’d be sooo close. Personally, I’d love it if she could stay on the west coast, but it seems like UCLA which is strong in both, would make it tough to study both, Stanford’s math is strong, but music not so much (though they are both under Arts and Sciences, which makes it easy) and we haven’t been able to figure out if USC would be able to work.

I’ve read a lot about Oberlin’s double degree program that sounds good, but my daughter isn’t convinced that the math program is what she’s looking for. I’ve also read about Yale’s music BA/MM 5-year program for incoming freshmen, and that seems like it could be a good fit, but we’re not sure how much math she’d be able to take. Northwestern and Johns Hopkins seem more agreeable to double degrees. Some of our research makes it sound like Rice may make it hard to study music performance and math. She is strongly considering Rice, Northwestern and Johns Hopkins. On the music side she is the concert master of her youth symphony, and has made it to the State Solo and Ensamble event every year for solos in violin and cello, and several large and small ensembles, earning honor board on most of those performances.

She has a perfect math SAT score and 1480 overall, and she just recieved her Math/Physics SAT Subject test scores yesterday with 800 again on the math and 770 on the physics. She has a 4.0, is taking many IB classes, including all the math and science classes offered.

My daughter loves music and math, and has for a long time. We’ve been searching the web and combing this forum and have found a lot of good info, but some is several years old, so I thought I’d post our situation…
