As much as you can, you have a musical safety. One that you can live with from a teacher standpoint, peer quality, and general “ambiance” or likability. Or you consider a gap year, work your tail off studying with a high level teacher and give it a shot the next year.

(there are links to gap year threads within)


A number of music students will transfer, and for many reasons. May or may not be easy. Different schools have different policies. You may well lose (or not be able to match) your initial talent offer with a transfer. Theory credits typically will not transfer. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/862312-how-difficult-transfer-one-music-school-another.html
I think these are the two most recent threads.
