<p>Yuffie, what is your goal? And your existing background?
Based on this comment:
you may not be setting realistic expectations.</p>
<p>At the performance level, or BMUS degree, those students have been working for years to develop their level for acceptance to a program. However, if you’re pursuing a “BA” – an ACADEMIC degree in music, you would not necessarily need to perform, at least at the same level, and would want to be taking musicology and theory etc. during your first two years so that you could take upper level courses later on – you won’t just be able to skip ahead.</p>
<p>So I’m unclear of your plan. Universities in the US are very expensive for International students, and the plan you have to date sounds like it will involve an extra few years at an undergraduate degree level which won’t necessarily net you a strong return on investment.</p>
<p>So before anyone can give you suggestions on your question, we’d need to know a heck of a lot more about your intended goal and background to date.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for “music + management” then you’d be looking at Music Industry degrees, which aren’t to my knowledge offered at either of the Universities you’ve mentioned.</p>
<p>So first tell us what you want to do.</p>
