Thanks for all of the input here, and I will say that as we are at the beginning of the search, these are the kinds of things we need to know. We are aware that this is an eclectic mix of favorite schools (then again, he is pretty eclectic) at this point and are hoping that once he looks in depth, it will help him to decide what his best fit will be. As you say, Oberlin is a conservatory with no business, and UChicago and Cornell have economics, which at this point still leaves them in the running.

I suppose the real question we have is that here is a kid who is a natural leader, whip smart and loves to be involved with people and organizations. He also is in love with performing and music. Our goal is to find the best trajectory for him to mesh the two passions. It would be equally tragic imo for him to only pursue one and not the other. Wouldn’t be a happy individual. What we have talked about is a career in management, even upper in the music industry which would keep him involved with his passion for music while still utilizing his other love for leading, organizing and building success. I know that a logical path might be say, pursuing a degree in music business. However, he then loses out on the performance aspect. Some might say then to minor in music, but in my research I have seen that limits performance opportunities as they rightly give priority to majors. I could be wrong.

Cake and eat it too, anyone?
