Music/academic colleges

<p>Didnt know what other subforum to put this under (last one I posted didnt get any replies)</p>

<p>I'm a really avid musician but I also am interested in academically competitive universities. I looked at places like Yale's jazz band (not that I think I'll be accepted there) and I'm pretty sure my own high school jazz band can swing better than them. I noticed the same for other places like Northwestern and even Carnegie Mellon were in the same situation. Am I doing my research wrong?</p>

<p>Try posting this in the music forum available from the main page.</p>

<p>I know that University of North Texas’ music programs are FANTASTIC. It’s a large public, so it’s not “academic” necessarily but they have an Honor’s program, generous scholarships, and I’m sure you can find your niche. You might want to research it!</p>
