An update: Our daughter applied, auditioned and got results from the three schools above.

College A admitted her academically and put her on a waiting list for the music school.

College B Admitted her to both the University and the Music School, no firm scholarship offers, though there had been mention of them. The professor did contact her eventually, and they have worked together well.

College C: Admitted her on the spot at audition time and made a scholarship offer then and there. We received the details in the mail, and while they are not offering a total coverage of the costs, they are the best offer on the table. She has also been admitted to their honors program for music and her other course of study. THe honors program also included an academic scholarship offer.

All three schools had professors my daughter believed she could work with. She has had a private lesson with each of them and concluded that any of the three would be workable.

Since the third school was the most interested in working with her and offering her aid, she has accepted and will be attending there in the fall. Another member of this board attends that school at present, and they know each other from previous ensemble experience.

The schools were (in case you were wondering)
University of Michigan
Michigan State University
Western Michigan University

Thanks again for all the useful advice you all contributed. We let her make this decision on her own, with little parental interference, and we all believe she made the right decision.
