<p>im a junior in the IB program at a fairly competitive school.
3.0 unweighted GPA/ 3.2 weighted...hopefully next year itll be higher but 3.5 is the best unweighted i could get at this point
7 IB classes and band
i havnt taken the SAT but i got a 192 on the PSAT</p>
<p>E.Cs
MArching band all four years
top band all for years on sax
winter percussion 2 years
150-200 Creativity Service and Action hours
3 years of private lessons on sax
Religious Youth Group for all 4 years
rec soccer every spring...i cant play for the school cuz of marching band</p>
<p>looking to major in Biology or music
i realize im not getting an ivy league school here im just hoping for a decent one i was thinking like Gonzaga or maybe Depaul (im catholic if that matters so not opposed to a religious school)
Any suggestions of where i should be looking to go?
Thanks</p>
<p>The way I figure it the best you could do is a 3.25 UW for the four years. Look at Xavier or U Dayton. Will you need financial aid?</p>
<p>it wouldnt be need based, it would be merit based i guess</p>
<p>If you are seriously considering the pursuit of a music major (with or without a dual pursuit in an academic discipline) I suggest you spend some time here. [Music</a> Major - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/]Music”>Music Major - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>To begin to suggest schools for a music degree, especially a performance concentration without knowing more of your experience, training and background is really a shotgun approach.</p>
<p>If nothing else, do read this <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/258796-so-you-want-music-major-one-familys-experience.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/258796-so-you-want-music-major-one-familys-experience.html</a></p>
<p>You need to give us more info. </p>
<p>1) size of school (LAC, large public, private mid-sized)
2) location (urban/rural/suburban, climate, part of the country)
3) culture (artsy, preppy, jock, granola, preppy, etc…)
4) deal-breakers (single sex, etc…)</p>
<p>We can give you much better advice if you give us more to work with.</p>
