Music School Acceptance Rates

USC overall acceptance rate for music

45%

Berklee acceptance rate

To a large extent, your future as a musician will hinge on the college, university, or conservatory you attend.

But, given the extremely low acceptance rates at in-demand schools, securing a spot at a top school can be as difficult as getting into Harvard.

You need to be confident about the process and audition well. That's where CMMaj comes in.

a good fit for YOU

There are nearly 4,000 degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the United States, with almost half offering a music degree. How do you figure out which schools best fit your educational goals and career aspirations?

Often, fewer than a dozen schools best fit the needs of a given college-bound musician. CMMaj can help you identify the schools that offer the best curriculum, faculty, resources, and opportunities.
