<p>I'm gonna have to say that Yale is a great reach for you. Yale is a reach for almost everyone.</p>

<p>Northwestern, I"m gonna say is a slight reach.</p>

<p>You should look into schools like USC with good music programs, rather than just prestigious schools.</p>

<p>well, actually I'm applying to these two for more of their music program rather than name
but thanks!</p>

<p>Agree with Soccerstar. I would also look at University of Rochester, Case Western, St. Olafs and Indiana. All are excellent music schools. Good luck!</p>

<p>I decided not to go for eastman (of rochester), and i did apply to indiana's music school, but they rejected me. According to my voice teacher, they look for really big booming voices, which kinda works against me somehow haha
thanks!</p>
