Hmmm...let me with my college education, try this again, without errors. LOL.

I've heard those things (exactly) about the CSU and Cal state schools. Having previously lived in Northern California, my DD wanted to go either to Sac State or CSU East Bay. When she actually sat down with various advisors at each school she found out that despite having an AA from a Washington state community college, she would need at least another year of GE to finish those requirements, and that getting into the school itself was a long shot since she was no longer a California state resident. I love it that in Washington state, if you finish an AA at any WA state community college, you are automatically deemed to be a junior in any Washington state university and all GE prereqs are finished! Yay WA! So sorry for your struggles. Keep at it...you won't be sorry. It is a huge accomplishment.

Michele, I certainly agree with the Palomar prof's comments. I would have loved having a student like you in my classes (in my previous life as a music prof). Having seen you in action as both a performer and teacher, I'm not convinced that you've yet found the right academic path. Most of the computer music course you could already teach (plus there's stuff in the syllabus that the university requires that has little to do with computers and music and more to do with meeting various degree standards--I had to design courses like that, and those standards frustrated both students and prof).

That said, I wish you well.
