Are You Ready?

Applying to Berklee is a three-step process:

Our board of admissions seeks students who show high potential; who are creative, collaborative, and open to new ideas; who are problem solvers and entrepreneurs; who have something extra that sets them apart. We consider every aspect of an applicant's strengths. We look for candidates who reflect the rich diversity of our curriculum, with high musical aptitude as players or writers, or in business, production, music therapy, or music education.

An integral part of selecting our entering class is our unique audition and interview process, designed to help you show your musical strengths and academic goals while helping us assess your aptitude and ability to succeed in Berklee's dynamic environment.

The Board of Admissions takes into consideration both academics as well as musical aptitude. Berklee does not have specific GPA or test score requirements, nor does it have any specific class ranking requirements. Applicants must be able to speak English and be eligible for higher education in the country where they are attending school. Our audition and interview process along with our comprehensive and holistic evaluation of each applicant provides us with a wealth of information to assess your ability to succeed at Berklee.
