PhD Prep

Graduate School
1

<p>I will be entering a master's program in music composition in the fall, and the choice is between a highly regarded specialist school within a larger university (The Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College CUNY) and an internationally renowned research university (University of Edinburgh-- yes, in Scotland). My plan is to go on to a PhD, so if anyone has any insight, opinion, advice as to which might be better preparation and perhaps "look" better when I woo the lieks of Prineceton, Yale, etc., I'm all ears (on the latter point, I realize it's not so much where you go but what you do, but still...).</p>

<p>I currently have a Bachelor's and a JD (Berklee College of Music and Seattle University School of Law respectively).
Thanks!

<p>I say go to Edinburgh!
But I don’t attend an ivy league school and doin’t know much about music education.
But If Edinburgh is ranked higher and considered among those in the music world to be a better school—then I would think it’s a better school and your chances would increase.
But that is just my educated guess.</p>
