<p>essays and recs should both be quite strong.</p>
<p>am looking for:
bigger school (5000+, though willing to look at smaller schools)
in my corner of the country (only looking as far west as IL and as far south as VA or so)
ideally in or near a city
very strong theatre, but also strong academically.</p>
<p>currently looking at:
NYU tisch (top choice)*
northwestern
BU*
vassar
