@Mwfan1921 He is applying to some audition schools, and yes he is a theatre major, but most are BAs as he wants to double major in Theatre/Drama and Government/Poly Sci. I did get the idea to cast a wide net from other kids applying to BFA programs which can be equally hard to get into as an Ivy League school. However, in my research, I did read that if you apply to 20 selective colleges, you’d probably get into 2-3 (maybe 4) so the same idea. Cast a wide net and increase your chances. The selectivity ranged from 8% acceptance rate (no not rejected from those school yet, deferred by one) to 60% acceptance rate (yes, he is accepted there.) I appreciate you’re checking my son’s college trajectory.
