| Since this thread is up and my D now fits in this time frame, I have some specific questions that I hope you all can help with.
What kinds of questions should my D be thinking about to determine what colleges and then MT programs might be a "fit"?
Second, how do you find an academic "fit"? D is a honors student at a not too great public school, but saying that many of the students do go on to top schools. She did better on her PSATs and PLAN (practice ACT) tests than we would have thought. Both putting her at about the 85%ile. We don't know what kinds of schools a similar performance would eliminate so not to bother with.
Also, and this may be difficult to answer - does race matter? D is AA coming from an urban public. WIthin our state this opens up lots of money for her, but do these demographics translate to private or out-of-state publics? (I know this is a touchy questions but cost does matter).
Finally, and I know this has been addressed before, but how do you figure out "type"? Ds non-dancing roles have included Sally Brown in Charlie Brown and Dori in School House Rock Live, Silly Girl in B&B ... She seems to get he typically ditzy girl parts but she does NOT look these.
ANy suggestion for how to help her figure some of these things out? |
