@KelivVan, if it is her first choice, you may want to contact the theatre admissions folks and explain the situation directly to them.

It’s possible that when other accepted students decline by May 1, scholarship money will open up again. Expressing her strong interest and her financial situation to the theatre head/department cannot possibly hurt.

Sometimes though life happens and the kids cannot go to their top choice because the money isn’t there. This happened to my D. It is what it is. In her case, in retrospect, she ended up at a better place for her–and with much less debt!

Good luck.
