<p>Actressmom, I’m SURE your daughter will be fine. I am a BFA Acting major at Suny purchase, which is a conservatory style program. There are several transfer students at every level in the BFA program. There are even a few people in the upwards of their 20s and early 30s. Talented people, not just talented kids, get in here. As for an acting coach, I would be hesitant about it when living in the midwest. Get her involved in any plays that she can. I won’t speak for everywhere, but I have realized that conservatories are often looking for kids with raw talent, which doesn’t necessarily mean kids with the polish of an acting coach. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.</p>
