Thoughts on these schools?

So, I think I’ve narrowed down the list of schools I want to apply to.

University of Wisconsin - Madison
Ohio State University
University of North Dakota
University of Colorado - Boulder
Colorado State University

They’re all public schools, since I don’t really see myself at a conservatory. UW-Madison and OSU are on there as kind of my reach schools. CU-Boulder is a good match, I think. CSU and UND are both safeties, financially and academically. I’m not too sure where all these schools lie in terms of music programs though… I’d be majoring in Music, probably Composition or Performance. From what I can tell, CSU seems to have the weakest music program. CU-Boulder, UW, and OSU seem to be in the same general range. I haven’t heard too much about UND, but I a guy I marched with last year in high school goes there, and he says the program’s pretty good.

So… yeah. Thoughts? I’ve only visited the Colorado schools, and I’ll probably only have the funds to visit one more. I think CU-Boulder is my first choice, but I wanted to apply to more schools than just that and these are what I came up with. Thanks!
