Do I Need to Add More Safeties?

I agree with all of your post except I worry about Fordham as a recommendation for this particular student. Fordham doesn’t have a MT major or minor and doesn’t stage musicals (perhaps as part of student-run clubs, but not officially.) The theater major is by audition only and is competitive, and opportunities for theatre minors interested in acting can be limited.

I very much agree with the idea of Muhlenberg and St. Olaf --quality non-audition BA programs with great music, dance and theater opportunities. Also great communities and academics in general.

A safety to consider might be Luther in Iowa: Theater BA program with a MT minor, and excellent vocal music program. This student would likely get generous merit aid. There is no audition requirement to get into the major, although an optional audition can win you extra merit.
