My son is a serious jazz saxophone player who spent the summer at Berklee on a scholarship, but is now thinking he'd like a liberal arts school with a music major rather than a conservatory setting. His current gpa is 3.5, heading upwards but not that far. Question: will his strength as a musician help him over the hump for admission for schools that might be above his reach otherwise? Should he bother with places like Northwestern, Oberlin, Michigan etc? Where else could/should he apply? He wants a BA or BM -- probably BM.
