So here's my wonderfully insane grad school situation:
Stony Brook - Not a word
Juilliard - accepted, wait listed for my first teacher choice, no idea about money, no idea about who else is interested in taking me.
Mannes - accepted, half tuition (maybe I can bitch for more, but then there's:), wait listed for my first teacher choice, given a list of two whom I've never heard of who will accept me, and one whom I've also never heard of who might accept me.
So yeah, it's cool that I got into Juilliard, and if my second or third choice teacher accept me, I'd be quite happy with that, depending on money. But then there's Stony Brook, but maybe I'll get in off of Mr. Eddy's wait list at either school, but probably not, and maybe one of these Mannes teachers is a great fit for me and I just don't know it yet, but I'll have to travel to New York to find out, and, and, and . . .
You get the idea. I just have to be patient and wait for more info, but I can't wait too long to move on this, since I may need to hurry to find the best teacher for me before that person's studio fills up. But as my quartet coach said today, it may be a bind, but it's a good sort of bind, and I can't help but agree. I never really thought I had a shot at Juilliard.
