College Suggestions/Help me find a Collge

What are your GPA and SAT/ACT scores? Until we know that, we can't really give you useful suggestions.

3.5 GPA

740 on SAT Math 1

670 on SAT Math 2

800 on Math SAT

640 on Reading SAT

630 on Writing

Despite my scores, I wouldn't say I have a passion for math.

Just got to ask. Do you actually play an instrument or sing?

I play the guitar (6-string and bass, but mainly 6-string) and I drum. If anyone has anymore questions feel free to ask.

NYU has a solid music program, although it's D3 and expensive and you'll probably get zero money. The team is very good, you'll probably be a top recruit, but there will be plenty of runners faster and around you to train with. It's also in the city, which makes for a great experience overall.

Indiana's music program is pretty well known.

Have you considered Howard? They have an up and coming program and I think they might fit the bill for what you are looking for.

Two more questions--

1. Have you sat down and talked with your parents about what you can afford for college? Unless your family is making enough that $50,000+ a year on education is not an issue or little enough that you'd qualify for lots of financial aid anywhere, money should be your biggest consideration.

2. How set are you on a major in Music Management? A lot of times people get to college and their interests change. Choosing a school specifically for a major (or a track team) isn't always the best idea. Broadening your major/program might also help the college research.

UCLA?

u can probably get a scholarship to a pretty decent school with those times. also FSU has a really good music program and is one of the top Running schools in the nation

Belmont, in Nashville, TN, has a good music program and a decent distance program.

just go to whatever school has the best music program you can get into/afford. having a good job will be a lot more useful than a good pr.

Check out University of Georgia.

1. I don't want to sound like a ungrateful prick, but money isn't a concern.

2. I would like to be involved in The Music Industry, specifically with the creation and production of music, working in the studio, mixting tracks and stuff. I don't want to teach it or become a performer in like a symphonic band or become a director.

Also, I am taking all these replies into consideration. They are all really helpful. Thanks

If you're that into the music biz, just focus on schools that have a scene that you like musically. Athens, LA, Atlanta, Nashville, New York, whatever. That way you can network while you're in school.

If money truly isn't a problem, take your college fund build a studio and get Daddy's lawyer to write you up a contract. Once you build it, the music bums will work pretty much for free. On line distribution is free. Once you have an online hit, sell it to a bigger label. Repeat.

What do you mean "network"?

my music teacher has played saxophone in birdland and he went to u michigan-ann arbor. he says it has a very strong musical program, but that's from the perspective of a player. as a music producer, I'm not sure, but their program is probably pretty strong. I'd imagine they also have a pretty strong track program if it was alluring enough for alan webb to go there.

look into it, do some research, etc.
