Devron,
Thanks. You and Dani are in suuuuuuch good shape getting on all this now. This time last year, I only had two colleges in mind and didn't start seriously looking at other places until late April when one of my teachers got all up in my face about it. So far, of all my schools, the only one I've ever visited is FSU and that was for cheerleading and gymnastics camps when I lived in Florida a long time ago. As it stands, I'll only see three before next March and two of those will be when I go for auditions. The other has a visit deadline for full rides. I'll only see the rest if I get accepted by audition and the school as a whole offers me a good academic scholarship. Then again, the closest one to my hometown is long way from home and Mommy Dearest is making me pay for my own plane tickets ...
BTW, some schools don't give much information about their four year plan of study on their websites or in their brochures. I've found you can get that if you email somebody on the department's administrative staff and ask for a degree progress checklist that the faculty advisors use in helping students plan their schedules. If they only give course numbers on those, you can usually find the course names and descriptions if you search out the school's Undergraduate Bulletin - sometimes called the Undergraduate Catalogue. Tricks of the trade ... Dang. Maybe I have a future as a guidance counselor if I don't make it as an actress.
