<p>I agree with Lorelei. My sense about MSM - from the research that 2 of my D’s friends did when they were admitted - is that they are not in a position to offer much in the way of scholarships. It is much more likely for a male to get an award than a soprano, unless the voice type is unusual. One of my D’s friends went there for one year but the financial burden was so overwhelming that she left. The other chose not to go for financial reasons. </p>
<p>papagena - I think Indiana is a great choice - I completely understand taking it over other options - including NY conservatories.</p>
