<p>Our son reapplied to his ‘dream’ conservatory after 2 years at another school (was rejected first time around). He was accepted, offered some merit money but ultimately did not transfer. Even with the merit award, it was cost prohibitive as he would have had to spend 3 additional years to complete undergrad due to non transfer of music credits.</p>
<p>He finished undergrad with honors and is now a happy music grad student.
Life works itself out.</p>
