How do you really research a program?

@sopranomtmom‌ you might look into IU (Indiana). Their Jacobs School of Music is very highly regarded for its vocal program, and in the Theater department they also have a very good MT program. At IU all students on campus can audition for all shows, regardless of major. There is a lot of crossover between Jacobs and Theater. We personally know a boy who is currently a senior in MT/Theater, but was admitted as a freshman to Jacobs as a vocal performance major.

I wish we had considered the type of voice that a program emphasizes prior to some of our applications/prescreens/auditions. D is a big belter, and the schools where she does and doesn’t fit are very obvious at the audition. She has definitely felt quite at home at some, and very out of place at others.
