<p>fhimas: Since your experience at camp has been pivatol in your desire to explore composing, aren’t there one or two professors from camp you can discuss your situation there with? You said there were profs from IU and Interlochen so they would be excellent sources of information. They know you and your work and should be able to give you a frank evaluation of you abilities and of schools that could help you grow. Since the jazz community is pretty small, they would be a great start for your search.</p>
