I know you don’t want South but sometimes (no offense to those in Southern States), kids make an exception for Florida. Rollins College has a BA with a MT emphasis and is SAT Optional.

Did you look at Drew? It is also SAT optional.

There are also BA schools where the SAT bar is not that high…Wagner, Indiana, and Temple, for example.

Have you looked at Santa Clara…offers a MT emphasis.

Manhattanville College has a BA in Music with a MT concentration, which is by audition (likely not overly selective) and the SAT bar is low.

Marymount Manhattan is a BA by audition (so artistically selective) but the SAT bar is low.

While Conn College is SAT optional, it is quite selective.

Hofstra is SAT optional and has a BA with a BFA option in Acting after two years, but is not a MT Program per se.

There are some schools that are not for MT but have good theater and perhaps some MT opportunities that are SAT optional such as Goucher, Wheaton (MA), and Dickinson.

It is hard to gauge what range of SAT you mean but American has a BA by audition MT Program…not sure if your child’s SATs are in range for that school but it is worth a look.
