<p>In a word, yes. You could be a stellar actor and still be rejected from 3 schools (though if your grades are good the UMinn BA might make a great backup.) It’s great that you’re being realistic about money though. Research some other BFA’s-- there’s another UMinn campus with a BFA (I think?) If Viterbo has an early notification date, consider using that as a way to get a bird in hand.</p>
