Interesting information @Momofadult shared about Juilliard regarding parents’ financial information for grad school applicants. Wow… when does it end? Would be nice to retire someday.

I have to agree with @songbirdmama - my female VP senior is hearing that it’s better to take a year off than to attend grad school without a (relatively) significant merit scholarship, as there’s no better indication that you might be competitive for roles.

Taking a year off before grad school can be helpful as some young women’s voices are still developing. My concern with taking a year off is that she’d need to start paying her student loans off, right? I guess we’ll know in May.

It’s likely a completely different story for young men in VP.
