<p>Are NKU and WKU “Northern Kentucky” and “Western Kentucky”? Are those auditioned or non-auditioned BFAs? If they are non-auditioned, people here would love it if you would add them to the thread listing those schools.</p>
<p>You have done an excellent job of balancing your list with some safeties and matches, and a nice variety. I know it’s hard not to have a first choice and to fall in love with a hot-shot school. I hope you get in! But if you don’t, take a really good look at what you like about that program - presumably you can get very much the same experience day-to-day at another school with a very similar program, even if you are not at the famous program you’ve been dreaming of. That is how my D dealt with rejection from her first choice, and she’s extremely pleased with the program she is in now.</p>
<p>For the record, she goes to Adelphi University on Long Island. They also give great merit scholarships to students with your stats. It is an auditioned BFA - they do not travel to Unifieds but they do accept video auditions.</p>
