<p>Yes, but that was not the question Tom asked. He wanted to know if the 3 highly regarded schools for mt were cmu, ccm and Umich, and they are. There are, of course, exceptions to any rule, and the person u know obviously is one of them. There's still no denying that cmu, umich and ccm are probably, in general, the 3 best schools for mt at the moment-- both based on their reputation, training and alumni. Also, I dont know this anonymous students' circrumstance, so its hard to judge whether or not it was because they were not satisfied with the training or for personal reasons. The fact that you have to pick a school thats right for you is a given.</p>
