<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>My son is a senior, 3.5 GPA (unweighted) SAT a little over 1800 (awaiting new results) Has taken numerousus AP classes this year and in the past. He has had major/leading roles in all plays & musicals at HS level. Has succesfully competed in theatre compettitions at state level and has had alot of training in MT & acting (has attended National conference in Nebraska twice) His deisre is for a strong acting program in a larger city setting (BFA preferred but not only option).</p>
<p>Being from the state of Oregon we have limited options in the region. He is planning on attending Unifieds in Chicago in February. </p>
<p>As a parent it is easy to look at academic requirements but the audition process seems to add gray in the system. If my research is correct, talent can potentially alleviate some academic requirements.</p>
<p>Having an older son playing college athletics it was easier to see where he fit on the talent scale. Colleges came to him with offers for scholarships. How does a parent gauge talent level and assist their S/D in selecting the appropriate schools to audition for?</p>
