<p>My home-schooled D did pretty well on the audition circuit. Make sure you get very involved in theatre in your city and/or in summer programs somewhere so you have good items on your resume, and so you meet folks who can give you great artistic recommendations. Do what you must do to have super SAT and/or ACT scores. Start thinking about who can give you educational references, outside of your immediate family (my D took community college classes and the profs wrote her rec’s). My D’s only “hole” in her college aps was in the “leadership” category, because she lived in the ballet studio. Best wishes.</p>
