How many acting programs should I audition for?

<p>The three schools ActingDad refers to are strong for merit aid (not need-based) so your brothers’ non-student status will be irrelevant. These schools provide excellent scholarships for academic merit (as well as talent awards, which at least for Otterbein, are separate and can be “stacked”). My son is also the last of my kids to be in college and doesn’t have that younger-sibling-in-the-pipeline advantage; while his need-based awards were all over the map, ranging from full needs met to loans-only, his merit awards were what made the difference, and Otterbein was especially helpful. I don’t have any experience with Webster, but I expect that with your academic profile, you would be eligible for serious merit aid at Evansville, if that school appeals–it’s certainly worth a look!</p>
