<p>I can’t speak for ttmom “some of your schools are actually some of the most competitive in nature”…</p>
<p>However, many of the schools on your list are some of the toughest admits among MT schools. Northwestern academically, and then to the MT Certificate program at the end of Freshman year… CCM & CMU have very low admit rates… around 2% I think. The other schools are also VERY competitive admits… 5% - 10% admit rates for the most part… of the schools ttmom and others have listed above some are in the 2% - 10% admit range with a couple in the 10% - 20% admit range. </p>
<p>In addition to the schools mentioned by others you may also want to look at Indiana University Bloomington in IN, and Seton Hill in PA.</p>
