Wouldn't it make more sense to go to school for electronics so you can have a valuable skill that most of todays audio "engineers" don't have whatsoever, and learn recording on the side or with an internship? If you walk into a studio to interview for an internship and tell them you're going to school for electronics or electronic design, electrical engineering, etc, you will immediately be leaps and bounds over the next kid who went to school to learn Pro Tools. A trip to Guitar Center, $300 or so, and a couple weeks in front of the computer will give a working knowledge of Pro Tools (or whatever DAW you want) and your own interface to screw around with at home. But it sounds like you already know how to run a DAW.
Not to mention a background in electronics opens up a shitload more doors than a degree in recording, which is really worthless when you think about it. A degree in recording now qualifies you for jobs that simply don't exist.
If I am being harsh and negative, it's because I've seen people go to recording schools and end up being hairdressers, call center operators, etc. Most of the posts here on Gearslutz that ask about recording schools (much like yours) seem naive and swayed by recording school propaganda. Please understand the reality of the business (a dying business, at that) and save yourself from going into unnecessary debt like people I know have done.
Get a real degree in something useful that can help you pursue your ideal career. That is the best advice I can give.
