High-achieving student with "lite" senior year courseload - chances?

<p>My son also has three performing arts courses next year (and two APs and one honors), and I know it would be not be enough (despite high scores, a challenging courseload and high cum to this point) for tiptop colleges...but he is auditioning for conservatories only. </p>

<p>I remember you talking about your D perhaps going the conservatory route, and certainly for conservatories at least, her schedule is fine...but that would be important for her to decide before she commits to that courseload.</p>

<p>(BTW, I know the time commitment for the musical...do I ever!) ;)</p>
