I agree with adding UNSCA, maybe DePaul or Roosevelt. Be sure to add a couple of safety BA’s…maybe Muhlenberg, UC San Diego. Several schools on your list accept less than 5 percent of applicants and base most of their decision on the audition, not academics…UCLA, CMU, Julliard, etc. If the school requires an audition it cannot be considered a safety for anyone. Northwestern is very difficult to get into…my son had top notch academics, very high ACT and tons of AP classes…got rejected early decision. If you would be happy with a BA at USC instead of a BFA, you would have a good chance of getting in there with high academics. P.S. He is a freshman at Michigan and loves the program.
