| Singermom2...didn't you say she DID get accepted into the music program? My understanding is that UM awards merit aid from the music department, and the school also awards academic merit aid.
We know of someone who got a mighty nice academic scholarship but hasn't heard about music merit yet. I think the two are very separate at UM.
Your D probably isn't in the running for academic merit aid, but I think you probably already knew that.
At some places, if the music professors really feel a student will be a huge asset to their studio, they CAN lobby with admissions. In most cases, the student needs to have stats that are in the "ball park" for a regular admission. Perhaps the music folks will be able to advocate for your daughter. It's worth a call. Any chance your D can make the call instead of you? |
