I have been playing piano for 12 years, but stopped taking lessons about a year ago. I want to submit a music portfolio to college, but there are many articles citing the "dangers" of submitting a bad portfolio. I know that music professors will be reviewing my work. The songs I am playing are Libestraum-Lizst, Fantasie Impromptu-Chopin, and Prelude&Fugue in C Minor-Bach. I am not planning to major in the Arts; I want to be a STEM major, and I am applying to Ivy leagues. How do I know if my playing is worth submitting; will it hurt my application, if so how badly?
My “hook” for college is music and how it relates to stem.
Eh possibly but I’d regulate it to the foppish part of your ECs list likely 2nd and have a stem based EC as 1st. Again this is my opinion but good luck

I’m not at all qualified to say this but as a STEM major music doesn’t really have a place in an application IMO
