Hi! I am a current eighth grader and Interlochen is my dream school. When I was in the sixth grade I auditioned for the summer musical theatre program, and I didn’t get in, but since then I have grown a lot as a performer and I academically, I have maintained a 3.9 GPA, I am the student body vice president, I am in many clubs just to name some, drama club, YES community service club, honor society, Beyond Differences, and Where Everyone Belongs club. Outside of school I am extremely active in local theatre, I student direct musicals, I take bi-weekly ballet and jazz classes, vocal lessons, piano lessons, guitar lessons, and classes at American Conservatory Theatre. I was wondering what my chances of getting in are, and what is it like at Interlochen. Thanks!
It is hard to predict who will get in, as it depends on the applicant pool each year. But, you should like you have as good a chance as any! My D graduated from there in music. It is a wonderful place and theater department is amazing. Give it a shot!
My daughter currently is at Interlochen as a 1st year junior and loves it and is thriving. She says it’s the best decision she ever made!
You sound like a great candidate to me, good luck to you theatrentea!
