<p>You are correct, and I did not mean to offend you. It all boils down to the school that is a fit for you....It was personal, of course, how this person felt. This "anonymous" person actually left the audition stating that they would not go there even if accepted!! (I remember thinking, yeah, right!) But, they did turn it down. My point was that in this field, there really is not a clear cut ranking.....the three schools listed are highly regarded, absolutely! Nobody will argue with that, at least I don't believe they will. But, "by far" well, I would imagine there is where the challenges would come! I am just saying that there are many top notch schools with top training and great reputations. Most everyone would have a different top three. Although, I will say that these schools would show up on the lists often. Once again, sorry if I offended you...I did not mean to. I respect these three schools tremendously...one of them was my d's top pick, by far!! :)</p>
