I think everyone who is posting here is remarking that Kat might want or need another year or two to know what she wants and be ready for college (if that IS what she wants).

Please remember that this is a college advice board - people answering questions are going to go with the idea that the person asking has the intention of going to college. I’m sure there are general theatre career-type boards where people will talk more broadly about options.

We talk here all the time about BA vs. BFA vs. MFA vs. training programs vs. learning through experience vs. not studying theatre formally at all. I think we’re pretty open minded. When someone asks for help on how to get into college, we’re going to lead with those kinds of answers.

Kat is already going to spend this next academic year either not in school or getting classes she needs at a CC or online. She’ll only be one year young if she does enter school next fall. And if there is yet another gap year, it’s all for the good - as we feel with any of our kids in this process.

If you go other places on CC I think you’ll realize that this is one of the MOST open-minded forums when it comes to where, how - or whether - to go to college.
