Thank you guys so much for your responses!! They’re truly so helpful.
Sorry I responded so late.

Can anyone suggest some safety schools for flute? Would UMaryland be more safety-ish or University or Oregon maybe? I’m having trouble finding safeties

@moopie19: what’s the difference of oberlin college and oberlin conservatory? I kinda thought they were like the liberal arts school + the conservatory together. Can I get into the conservatory and not get into the college and vice versa?

@violadad&violindad: Thank you for making everything more clear for me. I was told by another flute major on this site that there are technically no safety schools… but I didn’t really understand that. I think I’m going to see if my music school has any video recording devices first.

@bassdad: Thank you for that tip, I will definitely look deeper into the school scheduling.

@astewa57: Wow, your story was very inspiring to me. I’m very happy things ended up so well for you. It gives me hope to keep trying Thank you for sharing!

I’m switching teachers this september (to a member of the philly orch, so excited! :D), so hopefully he can give me an idea what league I’m in. And wow… so many musical dads on here! Haha.
