<p>Your daughter has a very impressive list of achievements. That being said, it really doesn’t have much bearing on programs that require an audition. The BFA schools you have chosen all have a less than 10% acceptance rate. For example, I seem to remember that Syracuse auditions nearly 800 students and ends up with a class of about 25 - 30. They accept more than that, though, so I think their percentage is about 7%. (My D is a junior there in the BFA MT program. If you have any specific questions about that program, feel free to PM me.) Somewhere on this discussion forum is a specific thread that lists the correct acceptance percentages.</p>
<p>I’m not familiar with University of Minnesota – but other than that your only safety school appears to be University of Iowa. Any school that requires an audition cannot be considered a safety. </p>
<p>I see that you are a new member of this forum --there is a great deal of information here, and it would be worth your while to take a day (or three!) and read through as much as you can stand. Many parents underestimate the difficulty of this whole process at first – it’s much more complicated than you might imagine! But there are lots of very helpful people on this forum who have already been through it and who have some great advice to offer.</p>
