School Placement / University Acceptance Dilemma

<p>My daughter is interested in pursuing a degree in Costuming or Scenic Design. She has a strong portfolio, but not so strong GPA and SAT(taking again on 3/16). So far we have been to three on-campus interviews with a forth schedule at the end of the month.</p>

<p>She loves Evansville. They've accepted her to the university, but wait listed her into the school of drama.</p>

<p>She is neutral on OU (because of it's size), They have offered placement into the school of drama, conditional on her acceptance into the university.</p>

<p>She liked OSU, but was turned off by their drama program. They have accepted her into the university but no word yet from school of drama.</p>

<p>We are early in the application process at OCU. We do have a visit/interview scheduled later this month. On the surface there appear to be alot of similarities between OCU and Evansville.</p>

<p>The dilemma is that OU wants a written acceptance within the next 10 days. What's our obligation to accept when we don't know if she'll be accepted to the university? I'm tempted to have her accept while we check out OCU. She wants to wait until 4/15 to see if she'll be called back from Evansville's wait list.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any advice the group can share!</p>

<p>Please take a look at this thread:</p>

<p>Your daughter does not have to commit to any college before May 1 and will not have her spot taken away.</p>
