<p>@spiritmanager - I know exactly what you mean! The trombone prof at my D’s safety school is really building a wonderful studio and has been actively calling D since last year’s State concert, even sending her links for possible scholarships, etc. I like him enormously, but she has to go with the program that is best for her, and that school most likely is not it. We both liked many things about all of the schools we visited - I said to D last night, wouldn’t it be great if you could make one school out of all the ones you went to? She - with her far greater maturity - wisely said, “Well life just isn’t like that!” lol</p>
<p>@celloliz - I’ll send you a PM. It’s too bad you didn’t make it for a live audition. The welcome was extremely warm for auditioning students, from both current students and staff alike. We were favorably impressed, and I saw the school rise to the top of her favorites during that weekend.</p>
<p>MSM is very different, but it also feels comfortable since we are originally from NY and my sister still lives on the Upper West Side. We got to indulge in real pizza during our trip (Texas pizza is well…they make great BBQ in Texas, but there aren’t too many Italians here!) and be back home. The school and the profs were really to D’s liking. I was very impressed with MSM’s career development office as well.</p>
<p>Are there two Herb Albert schools of music in Ca? If not, the Herb Albert you are mentioning is California Institute of the Arts, better known as CalArts, not affiliated with USC that I was able to find. Your listing of acceptances has them as part of the USC system.</p>
<p>My understanding is that there are two. When my son toured the music school at UCLA, we were told that they had received a large infusion of money from Herb Alpert and is named after him. Cal Arts is Herb Alpert as well, I believe.</p>
<p>D accepted at BU for BM vocal performance and also notified that she was awarded the significant Lois Smith Rogers scholarship at Eastman School of Music.</p>
<p>Congratulations to agmom and daughter. If you care to divulge the amount of the scholarship, I will add that to the spreadsheet. If not, I understand.</p>
<p>My D is accepted at U of Michigan for Viola Performance major and LSA (undecided major).
She’s also nominated for Shipman Scholarship. Fingers crossed that she would get some merit money!<br>
Also, accepted at BU with $20,000 performance scholarship.
Rejected at Rice and wait listed at CIM (this makes acceptance for Case Western as moot)</p>
<p>She’s still waiting on a few more results.</p>
<p>We are so excited about Michigan and really hoping for some money, though, I don’t know if she does not make finalist, then, it might not be that big?</p>
<p>We will have to wait and see after all the results come (hopefully will get them next week!) and see if it is possible for us to financially make it happen.
This has been so stressful and as all of you agree, we know how much your kids spend their time practicing, studying, and trying so hard in such an incredibly busy schedule, and as a parent wish I could say, “don’t worry about money!” But realistically, money “also” matters, and as big of a decision criteria as much as which faculty’s studio…</p>
<p>Congratulations to elliethecat and daughter. I will assume the undecided LSA major is in support of a dual degree for a BA. Please let me know if that is not right.</p>
<p>Congratulations to keehun on acceptance to Music Education programs at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and the University of Wisconsin Madison, as noted on another thread.</p>

<p>BassDad, Thanks for keeping the list! Congratulations to all and hoping/praying that all of your amazingly talented sons and daughters get the financial aid packages so they can attend the school of their dreams.</p>
<p>Thanks BassDAd, how about that? I just assumed there wouldn’t be two music schools by the same name! I should have known you had it right! That looks like an excellent rigorous program!</p>
