@sbc - I am pretty late in posting this but here is a suggested list of schools that we looked at or that friends looked at that are not posted at the top of this forum and may be of interest to consider using to help balance a list. Some of them, like Belmont, Alabama, and Wisconsin-Stevens Point, I would term “More Selective” to “Very Selective” (vs. “Very Selective” to “Most Selective”, which I would apply to almost all of the schools posted at the top of this forum) and, hence, they won’t help balance a list much. Some of them hold walk-in auditions at Unifieds, and some hold auditions in late March or April, and can be added somewhat late in the process.
This list is just some suggestions, it is not intended to be all-inclusive or in any way judge the quality or “competitiveness” of these or any other programs. I have no doubt that there are many other great programs not posted at the top of this forum that merit consideration.
