| We ended up with our after thought, too...
My D is a vocal performance person (coloratura_as). She applied at Oberlin for the reason that it was so close and they had early review in December. We would not have to travel too far and she'd get comfortable with auditioning before we did have to travel in January, February and March. She'd also done sample classes with someone there and even went to some student productions. She got accepted before Christmas. It did what we had hoped, and gave her some confidence doing the other schools - all accepted her, too! So where did she end up? Oberlin!!
Good for Mom and Dad. She is only 30 minutes away so we can see her when she in in things, plus they gave her a bunch of money - making Oberlin extremly affordable.
I was a clueless, non musical person. I can't believe we got the best choice for her and it's in our backyard. For years I thought that Oberlin was this bizzarre, politally liberal place. Then we got to know the Conservatory... Perfect fit.
