How selective is Berklee College of Music?


Asked by k80409
I am just wondering how Berklee stands among all the colleges and how Berklee is compared to other music schools such as Oberlin, Mannes, and U of Miami, and other music conservatories. thank you! and if Berklee is selective, then why "US best colleges" says it "least selective"? thank you www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/directory/brief/drglance_2126_brief.php

Depends on your insturment. If it is guitar, Berklee will like you and it is a good school. If you do anything else the top overall music schools are Northwestern, Eastman, Juilliard, and CIM. U of Miami is not a good music school. Oberlin is allright and so is Mannes. Rice is another good one. Anyhow, if you are looking to go to a school for your undergrad in a music performance degree, you should find a teacher you want to study with the most. Every instrument has a different set of schools where the best teachers are at. Also try to find one that you would get along with.
