<p>mtpaper- I did meet O’Connor in person when I was auditioning, she’s very enthusiastic and warm! I got see her perform live about a year ago while she was on a tour and she’s phenomenal.</p>
<p>I didn’t get a chance to really get a look of the school, though (I really didn’t do that for any of the schools I was auditioning for because I went alone and quite frankly was a little overwhelmed). One thing I did notice, though, was the the school was a bit gloomy looking.</p>
<p>Finance will hopefully come around to be identical, or close. Purchase won’t know about scholarships/aid until next week, hence the dead line extension. And I’m from the West Coast so both of the schools would be equally as far from home, but I would have to have a one-stop flight to go to Tallahassee, FL, which could get irritable when going to/from home for breaks.</p>
<p>BassDad- I was also accepted to Temple and Oberlin. I’ve been following this forum for a while now, and truly appreciate all that you do!!!</p>
