<p>I don’t know, I think a dose of reality is OK for kids to get at this brink-of-adulthood age. I mean, if you can afford the application fees and can swing the auditions, why NOT apply to a dream school, because as others have said, you never know. But if that big scholarship doesn’t happen, this will not be the first disappointment these kids will face in this business. Keep moving forward…as long as there is a safety that you can afford. Learning to live responsibly within our means is something we all have to learn.</p>
