<p>Wondering where else IU applicants are applying for admission.</p>
<p>I've gotten into U of Miami (EA), Michigan State U
Still waiting on U Michigan, Ohio U, Syracuse U, and U Wisconsin</p>
<p>I guess I love the Midwest, but can't resist the temptation of South Beach and 75 degree weather in March! Also want schools with my major (Sport Management - MSU and Wisconsin don't offer this). What are your reasons for choosing your schools?</p>
<p>IUB ( first choice), U of Miami (EA) (dont know yet), IIT ( not going), UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCSB, UCD - all UC's will find out in march :)</p>
<p>Oberlin (very much of a reach school, I'm going for music performance), Peabody (still a reach), Lawrence Conservatory, NYU, North Carolina School of the Arts, Ithaca, SUNY Purchase (deep, dark back up)</p>
<p>yay just got into umiami cool</p>
<p>Dcho - Congrats! Me too! Definitely need to visit! Did you get any money from them? I didn't :(</p>
<p>i just found out online, i probaly wont get any scholarships from umiami cuz tat school is tough and i saw their scholarship req.'s and im not even close so yea dont matter miami aint one of my top choices so im not too worried :)</p>
<p>SMU (accepted), RIT, Case Western, Austin College, UT-Austin, Texas A&M, Boston U., NYU, Carnegie Mellon, College of William and Mary</p>
<p>Wash U, Emory, GW, Northwestern...accepted at IUB (kelley), penn st, pitt and tulane</p>
<p>cellogirl,
My son also applied last year to Oberlin and Lawrence. He was waitlisted at Oberlin College and rejected by the Conservatory. (But he expected that, as they were not looking for ANY trumpet students last year.) He was accepted at Lawrence and got a nice financial aid package, but ultimately decided that IU had more opportunity for him in music. (The people at Lawrence seemed really nice!) Good luck to you! (And to everyone else here--it is SO nice to be past the year of applying and waiting!!)</p>
<p>I'm just curious - for people who major in music or go to music schools, what job to they expect to get when they graduate...do they become music teachers? As far as I know, that's not a very high-paying job.</p>
<p>My son is planning to be a music teacher, and will be going for a BME degree (Bachelor of Music Education). Other students major in performance or theory and composition, earning a BM degree, and often go on to graduate school.</p>
<p>Virtually every school my son's applied to and/or gotten information from has stated that placement for music education graduates is at or very near 100%. Sure, it may not be the highest paying job around, but these kids aren't doing it for the money - it's for the love of what they do. And to me, that's the most important thing.</p>
<p>Illinois - Urbana - Accepted
Wisonsin - postponed
Michigan - deferred
Penn State - Rejected
Maryland - waiting</p>
<p>FBI, My son is a performance major, whose dream is to play in a symphony and give private lessons on the side. He knows that is a long shot, so he is also looking into other sides of music, such as music education, composing, directing, etc. He knows he will never become rich through music. But he cannot imagine a life without it, and he has learned to be content without a lot of material possessions.</p>
<p>That's awsome. I admire people who pursue careers which they are really interested in without a concern for the financial rewards and/or not being motivated by money. I wish I could be like that.</p>
<p>guapocarlos - Did you get into Illinois' engineering program?</p>
<p>My son has already been accepted at Indiana, Purdue and Oregon and is waiting on NYU, Bentley College, Pitt, and Fordham. (business school major)</p>
<p>Calcruzer, why not San Diego State?</p>
<p>I think he considers any Cal State University school less of a great business school than the others listed. </p>
<p>But you may be right--San Diego State is probably one of only two exceptions (Cal State Long Beach might be the other). I actually graduated from Cal State Long Beach as my undergrad--and didn't think it was very good back then (30 years ago). Nowadays it's probably much better--and San Diego State definitely is much better. But my negativity on Cal State schools may have rubbed off on him.</p>
<p>P.S. I actually was in a class with Stephen Spielberg at that time, and he came out okay--so I guess the film school was okay even then.</p>
<p>Dstark, my son and I originally shared this logon--now he has his own. So while he posted about things like asking about his chances to get into Purdue and Indiana, I (his father) am now the one doing the posting on this site about his acceptances, and general job knowledge. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>(Maybe I should get a new logon also to avoid confusion).</p>
<p>Calcruzer, thanks for clearing things up. There is a very good chance my son will be looking at the same schools that yours is. He is also looking at Miami and Texas. The kids change so much so who knows. </p>
<p>My son is interested in finance. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking, "Wait a second". Why not just go to San Diego State? The costs savings are tremendous, and he will probably want to live in Cal. some day. I looked at SDSU's course guide and there are many finance courses. </p>
<p>Then again, I have never seen the campus and I hear mixed thoughts about it.</p>
<p>Do you think Indiana, Purdue, Oregon, Bentley, Pitt, and Fordham are looked upon as better schools for finance than SDSU in the business world?</p>
<p>Any thoughts on Miami, Texas, or the Arizona schools?</p>
<p>I think for business basically your regional reputation and how your degree is perceived upon your region rather than the entire country is what's more important. I'll elaborate.</p>
<p>Miami's business program is a huge feeder program for the southeast, as Miami is known as one of the best business programs in that area. It would be much easier for a Miami student to land a job in Miami than a Purdue student, although Purdue likely has a better business school. </p>
<p>If your school doesn't have a reputation as one of the best schools in the country (top 10-15), then it would likely be difficult to beat out the area graduates for job prospects. </p>
<p>Why is this? The recruiters recruit out of their local regions. They know that Midwest kids want to stay in the Midwest. Northeast kids don't want to go to the Midwest. Southeast kids are comfortable with the southeast, etc. It's a waste of time to convince a New Yorker to come and live in the farm areas of Indiana. </p>
<p>There were regional rankings done by CareerWeek on their website. Purdue's Krannert was ranked #1, while Indiana and Miami were 10th and 11th. Here's the list:</p>
<p>Surprisingly, Arizona and Texas weren't high in the rankings. I figured Arizona would be very high (strong business school, hard area to recruit out of region kids from), ditto for Texas who actually has one of those business schools that you could consider elite. </p>
<p>So wherever your S/D/you are considering going to school, remember that the region they go to school is likely the region they will be offered employment, and have the best job prospects in. </p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
