<p>Does Belmont cut? As I understand it from questions asked when we toured Berklee, Berklee cuts students drastically at the end of the freshman year. We had it explained that their business plan calls for them to take in enormous amounts of freshman tuition, then cut the class down to size beginning the sophomore year.</p>
