any one else feel like your kid is a slouch?

hahaha sorry to start throwing the kids under the bus. didn’t mean it that way! my kid is sharp, motivated and has her stuff together <where the="" arts="" are="" concerned!="">…this is my running caveat :-)</where>

theatremom2013 has a good point about dangers of comparisons - so point taken.

glassharmonica: you are dead-on. in running the calculators on different sites, even if she received talent scholarships, most of the BFA programs do not offer the aid we’re going to require. luckily, I believe she is most suited to BA’s … I had just hoped that an audition might help in the admissions process.

the deeper I get into this, the more I am realizing that her best bet may be applying to several LACs with big endowments who meet most of need and also happen to have decent theatre programs. they will be difficult to get into, but I think she may stand a chance. her senior year is looking good in terms of what can support her GPA/ACT…lots to add to her resume in terms of theatre leadership, senior theatre project and this summers’ conservatory performance.

I am becoming a little more hopeful and I very much appreciate your comments and commiseration and good will :-)
