Re: should I apply to another music school?

I agree with Ken that it's a good idea to apply to a second school. In fact, I think it's a good idea to have a Plan B about life in general. Stuff happens.

When I entered college in 1966, I only wanted to go to one school: the University of California at Berkeley. I also applied to Stanford, but that wasn't honest bet-hedging, because I knew that as a middle-class person with no family ties to Stanford, I wouldn't get in, even though technically I had the academic qualifications. Thus I turned waiting for the letters into an unnecessary nail-biter. Yeah, I got into Berserkley, but I knew I should have applied elsewhere as well and I've tried not to make that kind of mistake ever since.
