Hi,
I’m a rising senior trying to narrow down my number of schools that I’ll be applying to starting in a couple weeks. I want to work in the music industry on the non-musician side of things, as a tour or artist manager, music director at a radio station, music journalist, etc. I don’t want to hone in on one specific job yet, as the opportunities are pretty much endless and most music industry jobs coincide in some way. With this said, I want a major that’s not very specific so I can switch from job to job if I want. I have a 3.16 GPA, 1130 SAT (I’ll be retaking for sure) and have yet to take the ACT, but I’m hoping to do fairly well as friends with the same academic strengths as me say it was a lot easier than the SAT. I live in CA, and my EI is 3,659. I’m looking at either business or communications since they’re pretty broad, is this a good idea? Even then, I have no idea which schools are good for those majors without being super impacted (so I can actually get in. lol) I live in NorCal so I’m mainly looking at NorCal schools with the exception of UNR (SFSU is front runner as it’s about 2 hours from home and a good music market, but I have no idea how the business and communications departments are). If anyone could point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it a lot!
