I agree about the CIM award–it blew me away! Only Johns Hopkins (not Peabody) rivaled that award. Can CIM afford to give all of this money? All that stress about rejections, ridiculous financial aid packages, trying to use JHU to leverage Brown to leverage a conservatory–it all melted away with CIM’s award. We’re really happy and will commit asap. And then I can get a good nights sleep.
