My son was accepted at every school he applied to (including Elon and Michigan and PSU) with a strong academic record…but NO A.P. classes, not a 4.0, and a 25 on his ACT. SAT scores were good but not outrageously so…I think your D’s record sounds better than his so far…I am not saying she shouldn’t try to do her absolute best, and all of the suggestions here are wonderful…I am just saying that I wouldn’t panic. It sounds like her record will be strong enough to get into almost all schools which offer the MT program she desires.

Now, as a girl, she will need all of the stage and voice experience she can get…I really don’t think one more AP class when she already has several under her belt will make the difference that will be the most important. (Besides, as an admissions agent, I won’t see grades for that class before I make the entrance decision, right? If the student applying is signed up for theater and is auditioning for theatre, that wouldn’t seem out of line to me…)
