somethings:

When my son decided to apply for BM (when he was high school junior), he started making connections with people (same instrument) 2-5 years ahead. How much scholarship they received and from where made up his range of expectation.

This is the strategy we used as well. Absolutely agree that while there are some general trends at schools, there is also a lot of variability by instrument, year applying and probably a handful of other factors.

My son received a lot of guidance from his private teacher as we were very much chasing good programs with significant chance of high merit.
