Carnegie Mellon vs. DePaul

College Majors Music Major

<p>I am a classical soprano who was admitted into both Carnegie Mellon University and DePaul University, as well as Saint Olaf College for a major in Vocal Performance. </p>

<p>My musical interests span from musical theater to jazz to opera to choral music; I basically love it all, but my strengths lie in my HIGH soprano range.</p>

<p>Which of these schools would be the better choice for my undergraduate degree in Vocal Performance, and for what reasons? Just ask if you need more info on my situation.</p>

<p>Thanks! Hope you can help!</p>

<p>Any advice? I'd just like to know which school you think has a "better" program.</p>

<p>I will state the obvious---all three have good voice programs. I would choose
according to your best teacher option and financial package. Depaul is the only school you list that I have visited and they do have a good relationship with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, a beautiful campus,and
a great location in Lincoln Park. The vocal scene in Chicago is pretty vibrant and exciting.</p>
