D is going to cb this weekend. Obviously thrilled—loves the opportunity to have an extended period to work with teachers from the program, see how she likes working with them as well as vice-versa (she loved the original audition for this reason as well, got a great vibe that she talked about for days). After 4 years in performing arts high school, the process/philosophy of training (as demonstrated by the teachers she’ll meet) matters incredibly to her. She also loves the importance the program places on academics along with training (she has 3.9 UW GPA/ACT was 31) and decided against almost all of the BFA programs for their lack of real academic opportunity.

So question for UMN/Guthrie student Claire—how much of your schedule is really given over to academic classes? What does your typical course schedule look like?
