Maril, my D has a friend at school whose grades are really low. I know he got into Boco. He also got into Pace on academic probation. A lot of these MT programs also know that these extra extracurricular kids have to be mature enough to balance school and activities. Talent also plays a BIG part in getting into many of these schools even the top tier schools. Some schools have very high academic standards yet in the drama departments it weighs a whole lot less due to the nature of the major. Speak to different people. Don't let his grades stop him from applying/auditioning to his dream schools. There are some exceptions where grades mean more than others like UMich but many others that are more flexible.
