<p>Applied to: Mason Gross (Rutgers), University at Buffalo, Muhlenberg, Goucher, Towson
Accepted to: Goucher, Muhlenberg, and Rutgers as a BA not BFA
Waitlisted at: N/A
Final Decision: BA at Rutgers (hopefully will transfer to BFA)
Training (type of studio,performing arts school, etc): Um. Well this is awkward. I went to a really good studio with a strong ballet and modern emphasis, barely competed. But anyway then we lost a lot of money and were dancing on karate mats and I didn’t really improve so. I don’t think I should talk about it haha.
Summer Intensive(s): None. I could never afford them. But I take a lot of open classes at BDC, Steps, and at my home studio which is now being redid.
Why We made the decision we did: I love Rutgers. I like that its close to NYC and it’s close to home! I can work when I don’t have class and there is a lot of opportunity there! The teachers seem incredible and I know people personally who graduated Mason Gross and had great success in their dance career. Hopefully I can get transferred into the BFA because I love the fact that I can get my Masters in 5 years since I want to teach dance and own a studio (after having a performing career haha). If that doesn’t work out I’ll just stick with the BA and take more classes at BDC and Steps since there is a train station on campus. I also hate the small school feel which both Muhlenberg and Goucher had so the choice wasn’t that hard. I love that I can still get great dance training and the full college experience.</p>
