Mello graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance and a minor in Political Science.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mello began studying the two seemingly different subjects, classical music, and constitutional law when she took a piano literature class at Chapman. Mello\u2019s professor, Dr. Ryan Shiotsuki, gave a broad prompt for the paper which led to exploring her different interests. She began to explore the idea on a deeper level by seeking out help from faculty members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe first person I thought of to hash out my idea was Dr. John Compton. I had taken a constitutional law class with him during my junior year, and he served as a mentor for me and helped to prepare for my law school applications\u2026 We both have the same background in piano, he started undergrad as a Piano Performance major.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mello\u2019s paper analyzes how interpretation methods in Western art music and constitutional law intertwine. For instance, many conservatory students will look at original manuscripts or past performance choices when preparing for competition which corresponds to the practice of judicial review, specifically constitutional theories such as originalism. \u201cSo when Supreme Court Justices have taken an original intent standpoint, they\u2019re viewing the text and asking themselves how the framers might have examined the score. So parallel that with music, you can think about it in terms of scrutinizing original manuscripts or letter composers may have exchanged regarding the piece,\u201d Mello explained. Another similarity Mello noticed was the rigorous amounts of time needed to both learn how to play an instrument and prepare for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT); both can be described as a conceptual endeavor, and not just acts of memorization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After spending lots of time and research, Mello submitted her paper to the Global Undergraduate Awards. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/undergraduateawards.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Global Undergraduate Awards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is typically held in Ireland each year and is a unique experience for students to have an international panel of judges review their work. Mello\u2019s entry was labeled \u201chighly commended\u201d and was among the top 10% of entries submitted in the Music, Film &amp; Theatre category. This year, due to the pandemic, the global summit will be held virtually through November 16-18.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When asked why she decided to submit her paper, she confessed that she did so on a whim. \u201cMy biggest piece of advice is to remain intellectually curious and to go above and beyond what you\u2019re expected to do in the classroom because that can lead to opportunities like these I never thought I\u2019d obtain,\u201d she added. Mello found many different opportunities by utilizing the resources at the Center for Undergraduate Excellence (CUE), keeping a spreadsheet of those she wanted to apply to. Upon finishing her paper, Mello presented this at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/research\/center-for-undergraduate-excellence\/student-research-day.aspx\">2020 Spring Student Scholar Symposium.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mello\u2019s future plans include submitting all law school applications by December and to enroll in one by Fall 2021. Inspired by personal experiences and creating the First-Generation Mentor Program, Mello wants to focus on child advocacy through family law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The CUE congratulates Mello on her achievements and wishes her the best in her future endeavors at law school.\u00a0 Interested in applying for scholarship and grant opportunities?
