<p>I am looking to apply to an Ivy league to pursue either international business or premed, however I still wish to attain a multiple major/minor in Film and Music. I was wondering a) which Ivy is best for music? b) which Ivy is best for film? I was also wondering about any other schools which have really strong academics and prestige, but with strong film and music departments. Thanks a lot for the guidance.</p>
<p>yale, brown.</p>
<p>Cornell has a thriving arts scene; Yale does too but it's overshadowed by the grad school of drama (this is what turned me off to Yale actually when I visited). Brown has a great music and theatre scene. If you watch the Office, the guy that plays Jim was an improv coach at Brown for one of their troupes.</p>
<p>H - maybe
Y - yes if you don't mind grownups
P - not sure
Col - well, it's in NYC but there's no drama program
Dart - not really
Cornell - absolutely. One of the major benefits of Cornell's size.
Penn - not sure
Brown - yes.</p>
<p>on the surface, princeton is usually recognized first for its strong math/engineering departments.</p>
<p>but recently, the university received a generous (ie: $101 million) alum endowment geared solely towards the creative arts.</p>
<p>well known poet and professor, Paul Muldoon, is spearheading the initiative.. and it has been said that admissions is starting to look for/accept more artsy, "green-haired" applicants.</p>
<p>their creative writing program is already top-notch.</p>
<p>as for visual arts though, yale is hard to top. if you ever visit new haven, definitely check out the art museum. it was under renovation when I was there, but the floors that were open.. were amazing.</p>
<p>ok shoot one more thing before CC kicks me off for scrolling....</p>
<p>know a boy who is graduating from brown this year, and he was/is very much into the film scene. that said, he had a wonderful experience there, and is very complimentary of what they have to offer to those who seek that direction.</p>
<p>i mean RISD is down the hill afterall.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Among LACs, Wesleyan for strong academics, film and music. (Prestige is relative. I'd say it has it, but it's not an in your face kind of prestige like HYP.)</p>
<p>Williams for strong academics, music and good connections for business and medical school. Film courses are available and there are some good professors teaching them but it's definitely not a specialty.</p>
<p>columbia, princeton, yale, penn</p>
<p>USC is perhaps best in the nation in both film and music...</p>
<p>definitely has a ton of prestige in those fields.</p>
<p>Doesn't Harvard have some program with a conservatory or something? Brown's pretty good as well (i believe) plus Providence has a thriving indie scene (home of load records!)</p>
