[quote=Anonymous]Curtis Institute of Music and Colburn Conservatory I'm sure someone will be along shortly to disabuse me, but to my knowledge there is no real way to "game" admission to the above schools. They both give full-tuition scholarships to all students (unlike Juilliard) so you are truly competing against the best of the best musicians. It can't be gamed with SAT prep classes or loading up your app with squash and crew, since they don't care about any of that, or being the child of someone famous because they only care about the talent that YOU have; anyone coming in on someone else's coattails while being a cut below the rest would be immediately exposed in ensembles and eaten alive by the other students. Obviously Harvard etc. are nice but when it comes to unqualified "Wow, this person is incredible wholly on their own merits" it's the above two for me. Maybe also Caltech since I've never known anyone to get in there, ever.[/quote]
