I hear you on the negotiations side. It sounds like your D is extremely talented, so you should have hope that the financials will work out for you. My D teacher told her to negotiate with SFCM and Jacobs, so we will also have to wait, but my daughter is now thrilled to attend Peabody. ( It wasn’t originally her first choice…San Francisco has always been her first choice. We live on the west coast so she wanted to stay a bit closer to home and their facility is state of the art! It is honestly remarkable.) So she will likely end up at Peabody. I doubt Jacobs and SFCM will be able to match what Peabody is giving her.
