All or Nothing Schools? Academic Acceptance, MT Department rejection.

Most MT schools my D applied to offered academic acceptance regardless of artistic results. I think the only “all or nothing” BFA school on her list was BU.

In general most students choose the BFA acceptance at a lower-prioritized school over a top choice school offering a “redirect” but there are definitely exceptions. Some students are are torn between a BA and BFA to begin with. Last year one CC member’s child was so in love with a school she chose to audition for the BA program after having a redirect from her BFA prescreen… And ended up getting a BFA acceptance! So lots of different “paths”. Just be very aware of what options are available to BA vs BFA students at each school. if she falls in love with the dance program but advanced classes are reserved for the BFA majors, she won’t be getting what she wants out of the school.
