S23 is still not 100% decided on major. He will not even look at colleges more seriously until after his musical this weekend.
There is no perfect school for him. The reality is I see him happiest at a midsize to large school with lots of school spirit, possibly a football team, with decent music opportunities, club/intramural sports, or esports. And one that he may get my jobs tuition remission benefit from. The list below is much too long and I know there aren’t any “big name” music schools on it. Nor many that fit what he may totally envision in a college.
GPA 3.3. ACT 35. Male vocal bass- 3 choirs. Band flute (knows basic piano and guitar). He will have done 9 musicals by graduation.
