<p>I agree with the above comments regarding staying in Canada. My son (from the US) attends McGill and even with the international tuition, pays less than many of the US schools full tuition rate. I would also add that while McGill is competitive, my son did not have years of experience composing and his resume (for composing) was very thin. He had an extensive performance resume but decided fairly late in the game to go into composition. He had 7 months of private instruction prior to submitting his portfolio and attended a summer program.</p>
