Northwestern vs USC - Undergrad Classical Voice, Dual Degree

College Majors Music Major
1

<p>Hello! I've been admitted to Northwestern Bienen and Weinberg for the dual-degree program (Voice & Opera and Undeclared) and to USC Thornton (Vocal Arts), and can add a Dornsife major (Undeclared). I'm a baritone.</p>

<p>Wondering about the pros and cons of each school, musically? I hear Northwestern's voice programs are much more focused on musical theatre than i had originally thought. I definitely want to do classical training.</p>

<p>Side notes: at USC I'd work with Gary Glaze. At Northwestern, I really don't know who I'd work with. I'm from California and I'll need to make travel plans soon if I'm going to really consider Northwestern. I got into Northwestern through my prescreening recordings since I had to cancel my audition (a week before it was scheduled). That sounds really suspicious to me.</p>

<p>Help? Should I make the effort to travel to Northwestern and really consider it? I know I'd be happy at USC. It's just hard to turn down Northwestern's academics and reputation.</p>

<p>Hi, there was a winterstorm at the day of Northwestern audition. Most of air planes are cancelled and some couldn’t go to audition (you can see other parent’s note at that time). Of course, there were many students who take audition but I think some missed audition and College considered about it.
If you will do double major, Northwestern is a really good choice.</p>
