And this list for your consideration . . .

MosDad… Your Ds grades seem definitely competitive for the auditioned programs on her list that take academics into consideration… including NYU, BU, UCLA. I am not sure of the stats needed for Northwestern, hers seem in range, but because there is no audition it is all based on paper, I believe? This will be a tougher admit because thee academic admissions standards are in the “Ivy” range.

With programs that have an academic admissions standard as well as artistic, things are doubly unpredictable. It is great that she has solid grades. Those should not get in the way of her admissions at programs that consider both academic and artistic for admissions decisions.

I teach in an auditioned BA program (both MT and Theatre) at James Madison. Her grades would certainly be in range for us, as well as put her in the acceptable merit aid range with a strong audition. This will vary from school to school.

She has a lot of different types of programs on her list. A way to narrow down is solidify the kinds of programs she might like to attend and focus on those types of programs.
