<p>Just throwing this out there, but if you’re looking for drama/dance in the area, Stanford is among the best for both. Its drama department was ranked #2 by the NRC (behind NYU). Its dance division is also known to be one of the best (it’s housed within the drama department), with a ton of student dance groups too.</p>

<p>Drama and dance currently occupy several theaters/stages on campus, and are being expanded to the buildings that were recently vacated by the business school (which has a new home).</p>

<p>And because Stanford’s expanding in this and attempting to recruit more arts students, I think it’d help your chances of getting in.</p>
