<p>Interesting article posting on the NY Times website about the anxiety colleges are feeling about how many to admit/financial aid offers, etc. It’s a pretty big role reversal from last year!</p>

<p>This must also be true for music schools and conservatories.</p>
<p>This may help to explain why more CC’ers are getting early, informal communicactions from the music schools. The application numbers may be off and/or the conservatories are probably trying to figure out how to compete for the kids who might be considering public institutions for financial reasons - especially this year. It will be interesting to see the outcome.</p>
