<p>haha yes! i love jeff buckely, i think the name was mainly because i was listneing to the grace album while i was making my account.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the input.</p>

<p>Any other schools i should consider?</p>

<p>....i am interested in majoring in business (my dream is to major in music business, but not many schools have it)</p>

8

<p>Entertainment and Music Business</p>

<p>BUT only if I can stay close to home? Good luck fulfilling your dream. I had no idea from you OP that you needed to stay a Yankee.</p>

12

<p>whats "OP?"</p>

<p>my dream is to major in music business because i want to start a record company or something like that, maby producing, who knows? I feel that there is more of a market for the music that i want to deal with up north. Staying close to cities like New York, philly, or boston is big because thats where the opportunites are.</p>

13

<p>oh, and no i have not looked at bryant, but i will.</p>

14

<p>OP=original poster or poster</p>

<p>I hear 'ya on the opportunities.......I can imagine that some business/law training is also necessary but what do I know.</p>

15

<p>good call, im sure it is. </p>

<p>Being in a city is big for me, hopefull i can get into fordham, because i know Bu is a big stretch, even in general studies.</p>

16

<p>Have you researched Berklee College in Boston? That is a great place and a top drawer reputation....I would see what they have for you. The location is the best part of the whole deal.</p>

<p>i have looked into it. Although i can play a mulltitude of instruments, they are all by ear. I can not read music, and berklee requires you to audition.</p>

18

<p>Have you considered one of their summer programs? You could audition without reading music actually but if they want you to read and have theory it isn't that hard to get a start on that now. It is a great program.</p>

19

<p>tcnj is a big reach, however they do need oos kids. Their ave. sat score is in the low 1300's. According to another parent I know that has looked into UNH, it is not a safety for the business school. I know someone that applied last year with a 1250 and decent grades from a very good hs, and was rejected.</p>

<p>I wanted to add that Hofstra has become a more competitive school in recent years. I agree with Huske that it is still a safety.</p>

<p>Hofstra has a lot of what i want like, music merchandising etc.</p>
