Schools
(List of colleges by your initial chance estimate; designate if applying ED/EA/RD; if a scholarship is necessary for affordability, indicate that you are aiming for a scholarship and use the scholarship chance to estimate it into the appropriate group below)
The thing is, I have no chance estimates, I have no clue how I compare to other students right now. I have an intrinsic feeling that I’m shooting a little too high (too many reach schools and not enough matches/safeties). I’m looking for schools in big cities in the northeast (or Chicago) (my favorites are Boston and Toronto) that aren’t NYC. That being said, here’s my list so far. Please let me know if there are any schools that would fit me that I missed!
- CMU
- Northwestern
- Tufts (dual enrollment with NEC)
- New England Conservatory
- University of Rochester (possible dual enrollment with Eastman)
- Eastman School of Music
- Boston University
- Northeastern
- Binghamton (safety)
- University of Toronto
