<p>dancer4192, my d also wanted similar things in a college as yours: strong academics plus dance. The two schools she most considered were U Mich and Barnard. She auditioned for U Mich’s dance program and was accepted. She chose Barnard, though, as their financial aid was much better. She also felt it would have been difficult to really double major in dance and an academic area at U Mich. She has been very, very happy with Barnard’s dance training and she is now a senior majoring in Neuroscience…</p>
