BWMT09

I don’t want to sound like I’m your mom, but you have to face reality. If Vicky were to die today (God forbid!), the program at BW would not be able to function at the same level. Same thing if she suddenly became disabled.
I’m glad to hear Scott Plate is now Vicky’s Assistant Chair, it was just too scary before he was hired! See, we mothers of college age boys think about these things – probably more than you kids do–you’re still indestructible, right?

If you can’t double major at BW, why were we told you could when we came for the audition? In fact I think one of your Phantoms has a double major in Spanish and MT, no? And he was given as an example of “Yes, you can get a minor, double major, whatever.” I believe there’s also a girl in a sorority, who was given as an example of how BW is different than the other schools. To me this is not a bad thing. To limit a person’s college education to only MT for 4 years is not what most parents want, either. In fact, if you can’t double major, that might make our decision easier, as we thought you could.

I’m not putting down the BW program–I think it’s one of the fastest growing in the US, and will some day be up there with CCM, CMU, UMich, PSU, etc., and is doing pretty amazing things with the resources it has. I just wish it had more resources at this point in time.
