Anyone used Music School Central for college consultant?

Personally, I don’t know how any ranking could be “right”. I’ll keep it simple by saying the list for a classical musician vs jazz musician vs commercial / contemporary musician is NOT going to be exactly the same. Now throw in the term “electronic music” and watch things get really confusing

That being said, most of these types of lists give a good starting point for most families.

OP, I think your starting point has to be to have a nice sit down and talk about what your daughter wants to study and what the end goal is. Based on your reply above, I can’t quite tell if your D has a singular focus. If (like my child) the answer is basically “a lot of stuff” your first step may be to eliminate every school that isn’t open to allowing (for example) focuses on both bass and composition. Maybe she wants s minor in music production ? Maybe she doesn’t because she’s getting that outside of school? Maybe she just wants to focus on getting some theory because that’s where she may be lacking? Once you know what she’s looking for, this all gets easier.

It sounds like you don’t have a lot of time, but what about your daughter? Provide her a list that you can probably obtain right here an a matter of hours and let her do the “digging deep”. Then you can probably hire a local teacher
to prepare her for auditions, record any prescreens and maybe also send her to a local ACT/SAT prep center and they will also likely be available for hire to help oversee / monitor her applications and deadlines.
