<p>Thanks for your thoughts. I am optimistic that my s will get into some of the BFA programs. . .but in terms of the "what if???. . .I do not think that the BA option is for him right now. He does well in his academic subjects, and he seems to have a passion for history, but he REALLY wants the intense theater training. He is young, so a gap year wouldn’t be a bad idea. In fact, with all the shows and the summer programs, he’s really never WORKED. THAT would be novel!</p>
