Hey, what about Northwestern??? The audition requirements included two of
the Rose etudes (out of the 40 studies, #11 and #13, I believe).

I recall taking a regional audition for Eastman at which I was given a
basic theory and ear training test. Other things to consider (besides the
clarinet stuff!); also some basic keyboard stuff.

But it's been a long time for me; I can barely remember back to those
undergraduate days. Perhaps others are up on current requirements.
