The thing is that we did a ton of research, but I feel like a lot of this is “you don’t know what you don’t know.” In fact, I learned so much more in the past week from this one board than I ever found on google searches. There’s a lot on acceptance rates of colleges, but not on individual programs, so that’s what’s thrown me. But it is what it is at this point. She will not go outside of the northeast, and if that means she doesn’t get into a program, that’s her decision.
Her dream school is Hartt so right now we’re just hoping she gets a callback from the prescreen.
I realize our safeties are very random but we live in Maine so USM and UNH make a lot of sense here. She’s already been accepted academically to USM with some great aid so we’re happy that she has a place to go, but obviously would love for her to have a choice.
I joined the Facebook page the other day and it’s super helpful!!
