| Copy, paste and print what Jamimom wrote above. We are living proof. B average, top 1/3 in class (performing arts h.s.), horrible sat's (just a bad test taker), excellent letters of recommendation. Did not bother to apply to NYU, UMich, U of Miami, etc. Made a trip to audition at Emerson early action - I would not have done this - they DO care about SAT's and she did not get in. We did however get into BOCO, Roosevelt, Hartt, UArts. We are still waitlisted at Syracuse. Jamimom is correct about the money offers dealing with academics first. We did not get any scholarship offers and did not submit a FAFSA. Husband has a jar on his desk asking for donations to D's college fund. |
