<p>I feel for you. Our D applied to eight schools. only two acceptances, and three rejections so far with three more auditions to go. My advice is that if you get in to the acedemics, but not the music school, pick the best one and pursue a liberal arts degree and take the most music classes you can. There are many paths to the same end result - it just might not be as direct as you had hoped. Best of Luck!</p>
