<p>My D, who is technical theatre, applied at some of the big name schools, but she also applied to others. Otterbein, Coastal Carolina, Virginia Commonwealth, Shenandoah, Evansville, and the University of Central Florida are all on her list. She also applied to Point Park in Pittsburgh. Now, these are all auditioned/interviewed schools, so they really aren’t “safeties.” They just aren’t as “top tier” as some of the others, maybe. I don’t know, I think this whole process is overwhelming and risky.</p>
