<p>I would honestly say it's based on your audition. And to be honest your scores are not that bad. But...are there any other musical activities that you have participated in? It seems you have only dome a few. I'm going to U Toronto by the way for Music Education. They did take my marks into account but I know some who didn't have great grades, but pulled off a great audition and got in.</p>
<p>I also forgot to tell you that U Toronto does not offer Music Technology major. McGill's Music Technology is top notch but SERIOUSLY hard to get into.</p>
<p>Check Duquesne's music technology program. Assuming your audition goes well, you might be in the running for merit aid and music scholarship. Pittsburgh is a great city. Duquesne's music tech program is well established. They are one of the first schools to also offer a masters in music technology.</p>
<p>Music Technology is that very competitive? Would not think so, nor do the schools you list other than Oberlin be all that tough admits.</p>
<p>Your record is good and you should be able to get into several of those I would think.</p>
<p>Flutemomliz...this list has competitive music programs...all of them...with the exception of Northeastern. Music Technology (which is consided a music major) majors must still pass an audition to be accepted into these programs. The number of students accepted is small on most instruments. Academically, they are all similar with Oberlin perhaps being a tad above for acceptance into their liberal arts college (the conservatory acceptance is separate and is highly competitive), and Northeastern being slightly less competitive than the rest. Oh...and being a legacy (unless you are the child of a famous musician) will not help you gain admittance to music programs.</p>

<p>McGill just recently built a new building especially for music technology. The program, from what I hear, has something to do with Sony Music. Many, many people apply and, also, from what I hear, they only accept 5 a year.</p>
<p>I hear there is a fine music tech (Recording Arts, I think it's called) program at Peabody. We saw the facility, and weren't exactly blown away, but know a kid or two who rave about the program. It is also very competitive, with about 10 acceptances a year.</p>
