NEC or Mannes for Composition

Hi !

I have been accepted in these conservatories and feel equally attracted by both.

In order to take the best decision, I would like to gather opinions about the prestige and overall reputation of their composition faculties and of the schools in general. Is one really more prestigious than the other ? Can it affect the value of the degree?

Thank you !

They’re equal. Do you know which professors you’d be studying with? Have you met them and spoken about your work? Have you looked at the courses required for the degree? I assume you can afford them and that’s not an issue.

PM’ed you

Thank you very much for the insights !

Yes I have met some of the professors at my auditions. I really liked both experiences and it’s making the decision really hard.

As for money, Mannes gave me a very good scholarship, twice as big as NEC’s. It will probably play a lot in final the decision.

I was also accepted at McGill which has the advantage of being in my city, as well as being way cheaper. But I really like the idea of coming to the USA.

Sent you a PM.
