[</em>]Why you think you were accepted: audition, good rapport with oboe prof.
[li]Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected:accepted everywhere so far, though not doing music auditions everywhere. Waiting on UChicago and Vandy. Schools at level similar to UIUC- UMichigan, UNC-Chapel Hill, McGill, GaTech, UMiami, UW-Madison, Northeastern, UMinnesota. Others are lower.[/li][/ul]General Comments: UIUC is 2nd choice if enough merit to be affordable. UMichigan would be 2nd choice but almost surely won’t be affordable. UIUC is super nice school. First applied and was accepted early to math, then withdrew app. to change to music and have audition. Still hope to fit in math somewhere.</p>
