<p>I am an avid reader here on cc and a nervous mom. Hoping some of you can help. My S has put together a list of schools and now that all but 2 applications are out and auditions are set, I’m worried we don’t have an appropriate safety. I’ve asked several people but most just think it sounds like a lot of schools and the general public really doesn’t get the difficulty of this anyway. I would love your feedback. Part of the problem is that he is a very good student and while he is passionate about the art of acting, he doesn’t want to go to a school unless they have strong academics. He has a weighted GPA of 4.3. Unweighted 3.9. ACT 31. Many AP’s, NHS and tons of leadership positions and a very extensive resume of acting and musical theatre experience.
I recognize that in the end, the only thing that really matters is the audition…which is scary. Here is his list. He has applied to many of these programs for both Theatre and Musical theatre. Any and all feedback is so welcome and very appreciated:</p>
