Yes, look in the Parents’ Forum for the various 3.3/B student threads and you’ll see how wonderfully those students do with acceptances and merit aid. I had a very similar situation to yours with my 2 girls, so I understand!

Adelphi University on Long Island has a Design/Tech BFA where the students do really wonderful work. They get lots of opportunities to SM, AD and everything else. Merit scholarships abound for the B+ student.

Definitely look into programs that do not rely on portfolio review/audition for acceptance. Those will be back-ups, and she should have at least two that she really likes. Then it’s up to her how many others to apply to. Probably 5-6, depending on her personal criteria, cost concerns, etc.

Check out the threads here on non-auditioned BFAs and also on Technical Theatre. Good luck!
