<p>For my D, the scholarship info came a long time after her acceptance (she did the early December audition at Hartt but didn’t know about the $ until late March/early April).</p>
<p>My son’s acceptance letter from Hartt included his scholarship award. It might be possible that he could still get an academic scholarship. U Hartford only gives one or the other. I’d definitely call and ask.</p>
<p>Scholarship update: 14k/yr from Indiana and a full ride (minus work study) from Northwestern (although that doesn’t count as merit scholarships).</p>
<p>Thanks for your comments. I will call Hartt tomorrow just to make sure. Any thoughts on St. Rose vs Oneonta? He really liked St. Rose, but Oneonta has such a good rep.</p>
<p>Congratulations, soprano93. I am a little confused as to how to record the Northwestern scholarship, or whether it is a scholarship at all. What I would like to put in the spreadsheet is the total of any talent-based awards and academic scholarship money, not counting need-based aid of any kind. If you can boil that down to a number for me, I would appreciate it. I have heard the term “full ride” used to mean anything from full tuition up to full cost of attendance (including fees, books, room and board) plus a stipend beyond that.</p>
<p>Congratulations also to teachermom73 and son, for son’s acceptance as a vocal performance major at SUNY Purchase and Westminster Choir College, as noted on another thread.</p>
<p>We didn’t look at Oneanta, but I was impressed by the facilities at St Rose, and the level of support the school seems to be giving the music program.</p>
<p>jmd5505–I know nothing about the Music Industry program at Oneonta, I can only tell you that it is considered to be the biggest party school in the SUNY system. I know of several families who avoided Oneonta for that reason, and just heard of someone’s S transferring out after his freshman year because he was tired of being surrounded by students who spent most of their time drinking.</p>
<p>Good luck to you and your son with your decision.</p>
<p>Bassdad, it was all need-based so no need to report anything! Thanks!</p>

<p>Big decisions!</p>

<p>Congratulations to iThinkiCan1 and violinmimi and daughter.</p>
<p>I’m new to this forum. Anyone have advice on a strategy for our child that applied to 4 top schools and was rejected to all (hard to be a part when each school only admits 4 to 8 students). Our child made it to auditions and was noted as having talent but they were looking for a certain voice type. Any schools that might take admissions at this late stage?</p>
<p>Just a few more results to add here. 
Some of them I still can’t believe…</p>
<p>Juilliard - Accepted ($11k/yr)
MSM - Accepted ($7k/yr)
Curtis - Rejected
U Kentucky - Accepted ($12k/yr)
NEC - Accepted ($6k/yr)
Eastman - Accepted (and still waiting for finaid)
UT Austin - Accepted (previously reported, still waiting for finaid)</p>
<p>So that’s that. </p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone here - what a talented group! And good luck with all the decision-making. :)</p>

<p>An oldie, but a goodie…</p>
<p>Every year about a week or two into May, the National Association for College Admission Counseling (nacacnet.org) publishes a list of schools that are still looking for students. That may be worth a check when it comes out. There will likely not be any top conservatories on that list, but there may well be a school that has a decent music department with a good voice teacher where your daughter can regroup for a year while figuring out what she wants to do.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Mezzo18.</p>
<p>GlassH, no results on Albert yet for my son but thanks for the reminder to check there. Hopefully he’ll hear tomorrow.</p>
<p>Son back from jazz festival for the weekend, and found Friday’s email from Jacobs (for BM Comp (piano) previously reported) for 15,000 combined scholarship. Pins & needles all weekend, very relieved he has a couple of great options, now it’s all about deciding between two very different college experiences… Thanks to everyone for all your generous insights, this is a priceless community.</p>
<p>avoicemom, I suggest you start a new thread so that people will see your question. I’m sure you hear many more good thoughts and ideas that way.</p>
<p>KnittingGene - NYU decisions were all emailed to students on the evening of 3/29 with a few then sent on the morning of 3/30. I would call admissions tomorrow morning to get the results or make sure they resend. Albert changed first for S and then about 2 hours later he received the email on 3/29.</p>
