<p>My D changed her list after she visited Oxy. She told me she is sure now she wants only auditioned schools, BFAs with one BA only that is in fact closer to BFA than BA. All highly selective. She now wants to replace her safeties with British schools (I told her 15 schools is her max!). </p>
<p>Nightmare for me but I am also not my D. I guess I need to start research on 2 -year acting programs and/or prepare myself slowly to the idea of taking a gap year.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>
<p>What did your D think of Oxy? We couldn’t go because of a rehearsal…</p>
<p>I liked the school a lot. Nice campus (though the neighborhood is not that great), lots of sports (big plus for me!). I liked the faculty and the students who were there. They all have double major with psychology or language or something else. This is what I wanted my D to choose.</p>
<p>Now, she is a different story. She was at workshop and told me she did not have a feeling she’ll thrive there. She said she definitely wants a conservatory style school with classmates more dedicated to acting profession.</p>
<p>She liked the campus ok, it’s the theater program that she was not sure about.</p>
<p>We still have time to think about applying or not to Oxy. I am just afraid she won’t get admitted anywhere and that is what I would like to avoid.</p>
