If your student has outstanding academic stats, you can also look at OOS schools that are “less rigorous” academic admits, but would like to increase their numbers of “academic merit” students. They are are often VERY generous to National Merit and other “high stats” students. Wright State is in this category. I never looked closely at the academic stats of these other schools, but when S was applying, Arizona, Alabama and Oklahoma University (not Oklahoma City) also offered up to full ride scholarships. I cannot speak to the quality of their MT programs, but WSU’s is excellent. The trade-off may be that the school is not particularly academically challenging. For my S this was not an issue in his decision making. As a BFA MT student, he barely has time to sleep and eat, let alone delve into rigorous honors academic classes that so far have never fit into the studio-heavy BFA schedule. He’s OK with pursuing his “intellectual” interests on his own time. Or he can take the money he saved from his “free ride” education and apply it to his next degree - should the cookie crumble in that direction.
