We won’t know what’s affordable until he’s done with auditions and scholarships have been offered (which I presume will be in late March/early April).
It’s next to where his brother lives, so that’s a bonus because he’s close to his brother, but he hasn’t met the teacher and hasn’t visited, so he has no way of knowing if he likes the school or not.
At this point, he’s only met three teachers. He’s been admitted to 7 schools, but without the financial packages/scholarships, we know nothing.
If I had to rank based on what he knows (location and cello teachers), this school probably ranks 6th or 7th out of 13 schools that he’s applied to. His least favorites are the ones that are farther away that he won’t be visiting unless the money is very compelling.
