My COMD prereqs are from Utah State since I'm an out-of-field applicant (vocal performance undergrad). I was accepted at the University of South Carolina, James Madison University, and I was waitlisted at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. I was rejected from UNC-Greensboro, however, a school that tends to only accept a few out-of-field applicants. Based on my experience with the application process, I don't think my USU courses hindered me in any way.
