<p>First of all, congrats to your daughter for being accepted! Voice is by far the most competitive major at both schools. </p>
<p>We faced the same choice a year ago. S is a guitarist and aspiring commercial composer. We chose Belmont, mostly because of cost but also because of the true college experience at Belmont. S got a decent merit scholarship and additional financial aid, which made it close to a no-brainer since Berklee gave him nothing. We told him that if he really did not like Belmont we would consider a transfer. He just came home after his first year and loved it at Belmont.</p>
<p>And it is not difficult to change your emphasis/instrument at Belmont.</p>
