<p>So I'll be a senior next year. Any suggestions for schools? I'm interested in pursuing music (voice) and anthropology. I'm planning on auditioning for a few universities that contain conservatories and applying to some universities with good music programs that don't require an audition. I take the hardest classes at my school (so far AP Calc AB, AP English Lang, and AP Music Theory) and have had all As except for a 90 in calc, which is notoriously difficult at my school. I got a 2180 on the SATs, but my math was pretty low (770 reading, 740 writing, 670 math). I sing in school and church choirs, play the bassoon in band, take lessons on both, take dance lessons, work as a cashier, volunteer at the Franklin Institute, and raise Seeing Eye puppies. I want a school in a city or at least a quirky, fun town. I have a bunch of reach schools but not many matches. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Have you considered [Lawrence</a> University](<a href=“http://www.lawrence.edu/]Lawrence”>http://www.lawrence.edu/)?</p>
<p>They have a music conservatory and an anthropology major. Lawrence is located in Appleton, WI, obviously not a big city, and I wouldn’t categorize it as “quirky”, but it is a pleasant midwestern town located on Lake Winnebago. Lawrence also operates Björklunden, a 425 acre northern campus on Lake Michigan, that the school uses for seminars and retreats. </p>
<p>Their middle half of accepted students scores between 27 and 31 on the ACT, which is roughly equal to between 1200 and 1400 on the combined CR/M of the SAT. With your 1440 SAT CR/M score you’d be in the top quartile of prospective students. Their admit rate is 66% and yield rate, 26%.</p>
<p>Barnard fits if your a girl</p>
<p>Maybe Skidmore (NY). Best of luck!</p>
<p>Oberlin sounds like a match.</p>
<p>yeah i really like skidmore! i’ve also been thinking about oberlin. i might visit oberlin when i drive out to the midwest next month. it definitely fits what i want in a college!</p>
<p>I’m not sure if you’re looking into bigger schools than the ones mentioned, but if you are open to them, then UMich seems to fit your criteria.</p>
<p>It has an amazing anthropology program, ranked top 5 in the nation and by some measures #1 in the nation, and also has a great music program.</p>
