My D would much prefer a conservatory (despite having top grades and excelling in all Honors and AP courses) ,even if it is based within a larger school, such as Bowling Green. She definitely does not want to consider schools such as Indiana specifically because the grad students are given the great majority of roles and the undergrads hand out programs for 4 years!
Her teacher(Yale & Eastmen trained) has worked with us to pare the last down to the places I have listed, but now it’s up to us to find out about current faculty (thanks for the thought about whether or not a particular teacher will remain on the faculty- I hadn’t put that question on my list), performance opportunities and living accomodations. Although Oberlin is definitely on the list, she would be much happier in an unrban environment, but again, that all depends again on performance opportunities.
Thank you all for your input- more is welcome- and I will be contacting some of you to talk further.
