Thanks everyone. I’ve been doing some lumping of academic and admissions safeties together here.
I wonder what the new LIU Brooklyn program will be like and if they’re going to have a similar approach to aid as LIU Post.
@cptofthehouse academics are ok but not exceptional. 3.0 average cumulative but 3.7 junior year. He missed a lot of 7th & 8th grade and part of 9th due to severe health issues. excels in perf arts, pretty decent in humanities, struggles in math and science. he’s about to retake SAT but 1140 the first time and probably will do better after tutoring the past few weeks. Guessing 1200s? agreed that BA is a very legit option and that undergrad school doesn’t make or break a future. but a conservatory program seems to be a more likely match for him. he’s itching to throw himself into the arts and work on building a career of it.
