Schulich vs. Mannes?

<p>I'm a 22 year old classical violinist who is hoping to re-enter the music scene after a two year hiatus. I also have very strong composing interests, and I would say my level of work is pretty advanced as it is without much formal training.</p>

<p>As the title suggests, I'm trying to decide between Schulich at McGill University or Mannes at the New School in New York. Both are very prestigious and selective I'm aware, and I would like to hear your thoughts on the two programs. I would be majoring in composition and theory.</p>

<p>Noah, have you been admitted to both, or are you planning to apply to them? I can’t tell you anything about the composition or theory department at either place, but if you have acceptances, I would like to add them to the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/1427644-master-list-music-school-acceptances-fall-2013-a-48.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/1427644-master-list-music-school-acceptances-fall-2013-a-48.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Anyone with insight here?</p>

<p>There’s no need to choose between them now. Wait until after you apply, after you visit, and after you’re accepted. You’ve got a whole year before you need to make a choice. And be sure to apply to some other programs, as well!</p>
