Hello,
I’m currently beginning the college application process, however I’m not that sure how I compare to all the other high school seniors out there. I want to major in science (probably engineering, but I’m not limiting myself to that) and I want some kind of music minor, preferably performance related. Could some of you give me recommendations of schools that would be mid-level, to slight reaches for me?
Here is most of the info I’ll be submitting in my apps:
