<p>Hi, I was alerted to your post by Curmudgeon as I had not read it myself. Yes, I have a daughter who is a freshman at CAP21 (BFA Musical theater) at Tisch. Like you, she graduated high school after junior year. While I can share on a personal level, I also am a college counselor. If you would like some assistance with your admissions process (beyond just sharing about CAP21 or personal experiences), you can contact me at <a href="mailto:susant@collegeconfidential.com">susant@collegeconfidential.com</a>.</p>

<p>You sound like you have done some awesome things and have lots going for you. Besides my expertise in musical theater college admissions, I have also been through this with my own kid. I know Tisch/CAP21 well as she is going there and looking at your list, I know CMU fairly well as she was waitlisted there. I know about Circle in the Square too as my D's voice and acting teachers here in VT are on the faculty at CITS in NYC (they commute). </p>

<p>Look forward to hearing from you.
Susan</p>
