I’m not a frequent enough poster to PM yet, so sharing in the thread.
Son, Undergraduate, cello
Oberlin: Didn’t make it through pre-screen
2/19: University of Denver, Lamont School of Music: $40k merit
2/29: Lawrence University and Conservatory, dual degree: $36k merit
3/20: Bard College and Conservatory: $55k merit
Interestingly, with the merit awards, the schools all cost approximately the same over the course of the 4 or 5 years (depending on the program).

Penn State doesn’t give merit
I know that UPenn does not offer merit since it is entirely need-based, but I cannot say that I know for sure about Penn State. This is not an institution that we applied to, so I defer to those users whose students did apply to update this info when appropriate.
This evening’s updates are below. Remember how we were all consumed with pre-screen results? Well, look how far we’ve come with all of these great acceptances! I love following each and every journey and I know that so many others waiting in the wings will take a lot from our chapter, as we have from the ones before us.

Does anyone know if Shepherd School of Music informs applicants before Rice University officially announces? In other words, if my son hasn’t heard from Shepherd (which is associated with Rice) by now, is that a bad sign? He heard from other schools of music before their respective universities had announced decisions. Just a little nervous. 
I haven’t heard anything either. I auditioned for piano in Feb. I heard that they would call their internal students directly if they get accepted to another program… not sure about external applicants tho. Some teachers would send an email to tell students they got accepted in early March (I heard from an organ student). I guess strings and piano have more students so the teachers are not sending emails individually ahead of time…

Rice decision comes out tomorrow. Last year Shepherd applicants received results on the same day. Some String students were contacted by professors ahead of time but that’s not common practice. The two I knew about both had established connections with the professors long before their application, and both were top candidates.
On the bright side, the wait is almost over, entering negotiation stage…

Is Vanderbilt and Blair tomorrow too?
Thank you!
I don’t know if this helps, but my daughter heard from the University before the SOM for two of her schools. Others on this thread clearly know more about Rice, specifically! Good vibes and good luck!!!
