Number of Music Schools to apply

College Majors Musical Theater Major

<p>Hi,
I wanted to hear from people that are applying / have applied to music programs to how many programs they apply (I already have my list closed by now, I just want to hear what other people are doing).</p>

<p>I found this interesting thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/1243010-how-many-programs-should-you-audition-freakonomics-approach.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/1243010-how-many-programs-should-you-audition-freakonomics-approach.html&lt;/a> that talks about things in terms of numbers, and it seems like I am on the right track, with 7 schools (no way I am able to do more than that, money and time-wise), in some of which I feel like I have pretty good chances. But this thread is all about mathematics, and I want to hear some advice from real people.</p>

<p>I play trumpet and here is my list of schools:
New England Conservatory
Boston University
Ithaca College
Bard College
Purchase College
U Mass Amherst
U Conn</p>

<p>I would suggest posting this on the Music Major forum… This one is for Musical theater, which is a whole different ballgame.</p>

<p>All I can suggest about your list is that you have some non-audition schools. See if you can still get a few of those applications out. The Music forum would be a good place to look for those.</p>

<p>Sorry, accidentally read it as “music / theater major”. I will move it to there.</p>
