I want to go somewhere as unlike the U as possible. Not particularily in size, but in structure and function. I want to go somewhere where they actually give a damn about electronic music, and I'd like to go to a bigger city out-of-state, as I think it would be a good change for me. I thought first of berklee, but they don't seem to have traditional graduate programs, a cursory web search also brought up Mills, which looks really promising, yet also looks expensive and difficult to get into. I graduated with a 3.3, which isn't terrible, but isn't quite grad material. I would have good recommendations as the professors I liked I liked a lot (and I think they liked me), so that's good. I would want to build up the number of compositions I've done considerably before applying, too, which is another reason to delay. I also may ask my favorite comp prof his advice, as he wisely told me once that you shouldn't get more education than you need to do what you want to do. I assume that getting a grad degree in electronic music may very well put me on the track to be a music professor, something that I'd probably enjoy but I'm not sure. I've never really taught anything. I also have conflicted opinions about the institutes of higher learning as a whole; not sure that I want to dedicate my life to them.
