[Colorado-Talk] VR Counsellor for School

[Elizabeth Sprecher]

Hi,
I want to know how much a VR counselor would provide for tuition before I make my decision to attend Boulder. I am waiting to find out from Boulder if they have any TA and/or accompanying awards, since that is a big part of grad school. I applied for piano performance. I followed up with them a few times and they said they are still waiting for more information. They said they had a lot of talented students.
