<p>My D is a senior at Syracuse, and there is a very good mix of students there. She has one very good friend who started a bible study group, for example. I agree, however, that if your D is somewhat conservative, a MT program in those schools on her list is going to be quite an eye-opener. You might want to look at some programs in smaller schools. I also suggest that you get some safeties on your list that your D would be happy to attend – as KatMT mentioned, those schools are highly competitive. Every year I see students who have not been accepted at ANY of their auditioned schools; it’s wise to prepare for that possibility.</p>
