<p>binx: Thanks for the tip on Dennison. The school does have a bluegrass ensemble which would be fun! Dd hasn't done much with bluegrass- she's done mainly Irish tunes- but recently she has been experimenting with a wider variety of fiddle styles. </p>
<p>We have stayed away from the most selective private universities for financial reasons. Academically, she would be a reasonable candidate for all but the highest of the highly selective schools, but may not be a candidate for significant merit aid. We qualify for $0 of need-based aid but, based on our own budget needs, can only contribute up to the cost of the typical state university tuition, R&B without being irreponsible with our funds. </p>
<p>If we wanted to apply, we'd need to get on it this week though!</p>
