<p>Indeed, IU is awesome – lovely campus too and IUPA, if it goes that way, I suspect you’ll enjoy Bloomington as well. It was my son’s second choice after UMich for similar reasons (plus no brainer as we’re in-state – although IU did give nice scholarships and their OOS pricing is much more reasonable.) I have no doubt you’d be well looked after at Jacobs as well.</p>
<p>Go Blue, I was not referring to rank – indeed Jacobs ranks higher but I was responding to the comment about LA and being excited about USC – USC and Thornton are indeed exciting, but preference (SOM environment/style) and prof (studio) plays a much more major role in music school selections than overall academic rank, weather, etc. ;)</p>
<p>BTW, IUPA – Where did you find those rankings? If you have a link handy, please post.
And cheers – fingers crossed for you on the talent scholarship!</p>
