D is a second year MM student at IU Jacobs. One of the most talented/well trained mezzos in her program did her undergrad at Westchester (one of the PA state schools). I would definitely check it out as a hidden gem, along with Temple.
Totally agree that saving money is key- we blew the wad on undergrad, and D was lucky to get good merit money for her MM program, but many of her peers could not afford grad school after paying for 4 years of undergrad.
If you have demonstrated need, schools like Northwestern will meet your need (as defined by their net price calculator). Has she considered NCSA? UNC Greensboro? Kentucky?
