How much value academics hold for theater schools? If a student’s resume has exceptional academics but mediocre theater EC’s then what are his chances to get accepted as a theater major?
My cousin isn’t allowed to do theater activities outside school and always get stuck with minor roles in school plays because he doesnt look like a hero or has time to do activities with theater crowd because his conservative parents wouldn’t let him do theater if he got a bad grade or missed religious classes.
His parents have agreed to let him to continue studying theater if he gets into a top ranked school. He wants to go to good schools as he has a high IQ and likes mental stimulation but his main passion is to keep studying theater arts. I’m guessing theater programs in top schools must be tough to get into so what are his chances and how can he improve those?
They’ll pay full ride if college meets their standards so he is very grateful and he wants them to be proud as they are overall good parents inspire of their mental blocks.
