<p>I think you are going to have to put the spurs to your theater stuff and ride it for all it’s worth.</p>
<p>Have you done an overnight visit? Met with the theater department? Found out what you need to do to provide a DVD of your acting? Read up on Veritigo-go (or better yet go to a performance. Immerse yourself in theater at Swarthmore before writing your application.</p>
<p>You’ve got a fine transcript, test scores, etc. But, from what you’ve presented, the acting is your best shot to stand out from a big stack of applicants with fine transcripts. I would recommend a full-court press on that…visiting, essays, etc. Try to become “theater guy” to the admissions office.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
