Hello All,
My son is a high school junior who is a passionate Euphonium player (in honors band, in New England Conservatory Senior Youth Wind Ensemble, All States since Freshman) who has decided he does not want to major in music but still wants to be
involved in a serious music program in college (play in ensemble and have lessons). He is a strong student 4.0 GPA, 34 ACT so would like to attend a more selective school but affordibility is also an issue for us. We do not meet criteria for need based aid but also can't afford $70.000/year school. He is interested in science and possibly pre-med and doesn't want super large or very small school. Do you have suggestions of schools with strong music programs for non-majors that are relatively selective but may provide merit aid? University of Rochester looks good but I'm not sure if they offer Merit...I have to look into that. I know Yale would be great, but of course they won't offer any merit aid. Same, I'm guessing for NorthWestern and Vanderbilt?..... Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
