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

<p>My D “only” had her school productions on her resume plus local voice and dance training. She was also on the dance/drill team. Granted she has been dancing since she was 2, but she had no community theatre credits on her resume and didn’t start acting till freshman year in high school. She was accepted to one BFA MT program, two BA auditioned theatre programs and Muhlenberg which is a BA program with auditions for scholarship, as well as other non-auditioned BA’s. She really felt she had great choices. She applied to a broad range of types of programs. Plus she was accepted at other schools academically (but not into the BA/BFA program) so could have opted to attend one of these and major in something else.</p>

<p>The point is, you don’t have to narrow your choices down right now, just do the research with your daughter and make sure there are some schools on her list where she has a good chance for academic acceptance (and where she would be happy) so if she doesn’t get into the BFA she wants, she still has choices.</p>
