<p>If the SAT math section gives you trouble, you should take the ACT…the math isn’t as “tricky.”</p>
<p>I know very little about this whole music area (but that won’t stop me…LOL). However, don’t some of these conservatories require auditions and such and expect formal training? </p>
<p>*I have not discussed finances in-depth with my parents. We are well-off, but I believe that they expect me to pay for some. (I am most likely taking a gap year to work and study music, if that helps.) *</p>
<p>Well, sit down and have the big money talk with them so you’ll know what you’re dealing with. Some of these schools have $55k per year price tags so if they’re well off, but won’t pay most/all of costs, you’ll have difficulties.</p>
