<p>So Princeton and MIT are the places for composition? Any other great universities/LACs for composition you can think of? Also, what kind of prep should I be doing to increase my competitiveness in terms of composition? Should I work to grab more awards - or should I work to get some formal training (as in teach myself AP music theory 1st semester instead of 2nd semester (2nd semester it won’t really matter what I learn in terms of college admissions - not like I wouldn’t do it anyway, just fyi).</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
