<p>We had a reminder of that this weekend when D ran into a friend currently at one of dream MT BFA programs who said NU was his first choice dream school but he didn’t get in, and we know at least 2 other kids in his program had the same experience.</p>
<p>But my main point was that for some kids their “dream” school can shift radically between the time they build their lists and the day they have to pull the trigger on a final decision (in MT that can often be 9 months), so it’s wise to include a variety of programs on the list. Nine months is a long time for a high school senior who is working to visualize their future. ;-D</p>
