<p>Hi Everyone, I have been reading all threads in this post and find them most informative! Our D is currently a HS junior and wants to pursue a BFA in MT. She is more vocally trained than in acting or dance. We are trying to figure out the best process to prepare her for auditions in the fall. One of her classmates is now at NYU (straight Theater even though he wanted MF) and another at NW. </p>
<p>She wants to attend school in the NE (NYU, Pace, Emerson, BU, NE are all on her list) and we plan visits with all in March. Her grades are good, but not sure if they are good enough for her to qualify for Financial aid based on grades (around a 3.4 gpa but at one of the most difficult private schools in Ga). </p>
<p>My husband and I want her to attend any school of her choosing but realistically will need some sort of financial aid to make it feasible. We took a huge financial hit 20 months ago when my husband suffered a terrible accident resulting in a TBI. He is back at work, but the doctors/specialists tell us he is at a very high risk to develop early onset dimentia due to his brain injury. It is not a common situation and we are trying to network for advice in how to approach college FA offices with this information. </p>
<p>Anyone out there with any insight on GPA and medical situations such as this?</p>
