How much should a parent help kid to get into a BFA program?

<p>If your kid was able to do all that when she was 14, she will be able to do even more now that she is graduating from High School. And it sounds like she will do it with or without your support, as you say you didn’t support her decision when she was 14, but she went through with it anyway.</p>

<p>She has had an incredible amount of experience and education in theatre. She will have a HUGE advantage over many of the other auditioners. (It doesn’t matter that all of her experience and education is at one particular performing arts high school)</p>

<p>She is bringing big guns to the gunfight!</p>

<p>If she is behind in dance and voice, she may want to consider auditioning just for plain, vanilla, “straight” theatre instead of Music Theatre.</p>

<p>She should talk to her current teachers about what they would recommend for her college plans, and whether they can give her some audition coaching.</p>

<p>But also remember that if she gets some degree, and then later changes her mind, she can always go back and get educated in a different field. As I have mentioned to many people, there is no requirement that anyone major in the same subject in grad school that they studied as an undergrad.</p>
