@trumpetmom99 Congratulations to you and your S! I was in the exact same boat as you two years ago. My S is a sophomore at Eastman in the same studio as @bigdjp 's son. It was a tough decision financially and of course you have to do what is best for your family. S did appeal his merit offer on the basis that he was offered more from his second choice school (not more $ but a greater percentage of the tuition). They increased it a little.

We were actually just out there this past Wednesday through Sunday to visit and attend some concerts. I have no regrets about sending him to Eastman. S is happy and thriving. My only ‘con’ is that we live halfway across the country so we don’t get to attend very many of his concerts.
