Agree that’s a key question. Is dance just the EC that gets her into a top school or something she wants to be part of her college experience and/or life thereafter? My D18 had similar stats (4.0/35/8 5s in APs) and decided quite late on she wanted to apply for a ballet BFA and then do a double major. That meant a very different set of schools, many of which were safeties academically but reaches for the audition based ballet programs. On the other hand she got some great merit offers, including an OOS tuition waiver at UT Austin, Regents scholarships at a couple of UCs, and a full ride (that she took) at another public flagship. But at many schools (like JHU) it’s very tough to double major in 4 years.
