  2. Applicants applying to the Music Education concurrent program are asked to submit a second letter of recommendation. References for Music Education should comment on an applicant's potential to be a music teacher;
  3. All supporting documents for undergraduate applications can be submitted online—see mcgill.ca/music/admissions/undergraduate/materials for required materials;
  4. Once an admission decision is made, official transcripts are required to complete the admission file;
  5. All screening (due January 15) and recorded auditions (due February 1) should be submitted electronically directly to the Schulich School of Music: forms.music.mcgill.ca/audition.

Applicants are advised that satisfying the entrance requirements does not guarantee admission where instrumental and/or program places are limited.
