Hi All! It has been quite a while since I have posted on the Bboard, but I am once again, seeking advice lol! Currently, I am half way through my junior year of high school, so the visiting of schools and scheduling lessons over this next spring semester is coming very very soon. I have been trying to narrow a college list but I find so many cons with each school and also many pros, which I guess ever school will have. I have 6 schools in mind, which I’m not sure if that is too many or not. There’s also this feeling of wanting to do performance/education but that usually requires a 5th year, and honestly finances are a big issue right now. Out of state schools seem almost impossible to pay for (60-70k a year. Yikes) I am in Ohio, so Ohio as you may know does have good options (Such as Baldwin Wallace, CCM, Ohio state etc). I was just wondering when starting audition rep is suitable, would it be May? Or should I wait till September? Perseverating over school choice is such a stressor for me, and I don’t want to audition for schools that I know I can’t afford. I would love to have the option to attend Eastman, or Michigan State or U of M; but I simply can’t afford those. I just don’t know what to do, and it’s just becoming a lot to handle mentally with all the stressors.

In Maryland even the smaller state campuses have great teachers. I assume Ohio is the same.

I got my performance degree and teaching cert. from Queens College of City U. of New York. I was not a city resident, so it wasn't free (they began charging tuition years later for NYC residents but have since gone back to free).
But my out of city but "in-state" residence meant at most $1K per year (45 years ago yes, but private colleges like Hartt in CT or Berklee in Boston were not all that much cheaper back then than they are now).
Just a thought that you may be able to arrange a place to stay as your residence in NYC that's not going to break the bank.....a tall order I assume.
Q.C. has expanded their music programs and facilities over the years and I imagine it is still a good place to get your performance and teaching cert.
Good luck.
