Cartera, what you said in post #22 made me want to chime in that I believe (at least in Jazz) that sometimes the style of the institution’s program could be a better fit than another for the student. So, a rejection may not be simply a pronouncement of “lack” of ability. It might lead a student eventually to the place where he will find support for his unique voice. I heard that from a college-level instructor, and I do believe it, though I don’t know if it applies to classical music as much as to jazz.
