Juillard



Students from all over the world come here to perfect their already exceptional talents in music, drama, and dance. Only about 450 undergrads attend along with another 300 or so music grad students. Located in Lincoln Center in Manhattan, it is an extremely difficult place to gain acceptance. Of nearly 1100 drama applicants, only 20 were accepted! Music may be somewhat less selective, but it really depends on the applicant pool. Julliard will only take a certain number for each type of voice, a smaller number for each orchestral instrument, etc. As a result, most graduates are employed upon completion of their degree. Many go on to great fame in their field.
The college consists of just 2 buildings and about half the undergrads live in campus housing. Total cost per year with housing and meals is about $45,000. Nearly all who get accepted here do attend and nearly all of those do graduate on time.
