Well, they have to choose between alot of students right ? But they have only a maximum capacity so it would be obvious to chose some one who is good and pays the $3000 than some one who has little chance to succeed and pays. Ha well, I really don't know what I'm talking about since I don't know anyone who went there. It was only a guess. In belgium the university system works quiet different (and better imho), but you can't judge if you haven't tried them both ;)

Oh, and another question. Is it worth it ? Yeah sure, there were some great names like vai, gilbert, ..., but what about all the other people that graduated ? What do they do now ? I understand that some people get a job as teacher, or even as a famous soloist/group guitarist, but that I think is a very select group, no ? What are the chances you are going to earn your bread after you've graduated from such a school ?

EDIT: => FretSlug, I thinkyou misunderstood my point I don't want to be famous, besides If I wanted to go to such a school I wouldn't be able to pay it anyway. I just wondered if you can earn your living when you graduated from such a school. What are the options afterwards except going for teacher or in a band... and how big are the chances you'll earn your money playing a guitar and will you be able to live from it ?

Anyway, thanks.

Ltz, Gul
