<p>I agree with SDonCC…that is how to go about it. </p>
<p>You truly don’t have safeties and that is a mistake. For safeties, take a look at Muhlenberg and Skidmore.</p>
<p>Some schools on your list do have MT opportunities and some just are not well known for theater honestly. I never hear of Union, Colgate, Hamilton, or Lehigh when people talk about theater and MT. Or Duke really either.</p>
<p>You say you want a city but Colgate, Hamilton, and Middlebury are are the opposite in terms of setting! Amherst, Lehigh and Wesleyan really are not city-like either.</p>
<p>You do have some good options on your list such as Brown, Yale, Tufts, Middlebury, Brandeis, and Vassar.</p>
<p>I would encourage you to truly examine USC and Northwestern. Perhaps UNC-Chapel Hill, Emory, and Boston College.</p>
