I live in NC and we have a similar school called North Carolina School of Science and Math. All the people I know who want to go there like the idea of going to UNC Chapel Hill. I personally don’t plan on going to the boarding school but I DO want to go to UNC Chapel Hill.
Chapel Hill has scholarships. And they have a great Mass Communications program and cool student-run radio station. It is hard to get in out of state but you seem to like the idea of living in the Carolinas and UNCCH is the best NC college in my opinion (and trust me I’ve paid attention to this a lot and I’ve seen the campus). It is more expensive out of state but way less expensive than Duke.
To sum it up, Mass Communications and/or Journalism is your best bet if you want to seriously pursue music journalism. But you have a lot of time in high school to decide where you want to go and what you want to major in. Take a psych class in high school.
Oh, and don’t go to college outside the country because it won’t help you get jobs unless you are studying language or culture, study abroad instead. Also, music journalists need to get into the “scene” and you can’t do that overseas unless you want to be a journalist overseas.
My life sounds a lot little like a parallel of yours. I want to write for AP and I want to travel a lot. I play guitar and just got a keyboard. Weird weird weird.

Let’s deal with reality first. You need to get rid of the idea that your question is boring. In other words, get a grip on reality and realize you are good stuff, you have a right to ask your questions and get good answers. Now, to your question.
I’d encourage you to contact the admissions offices of the school in which you think you’ll be interested, ask for a catalog or download one, and ask about financial aid forms which won’t do you much good this far in advance. You will however, be interested in their offerings in the fine arts. Your desire to get away from Arkansas is understandable but not all that logical as fine educations can be obtained at schools there. Keep asking and examining the fine arts offerings at school in which you might be interested. You are doing well and exhibiting good thinking. Keep it up.
