Illinois Wesleyan is a great school! I would see if you could audition during their November audition date, it would be great to have an in-state option for you that will (ideally) have decisions out before the new year.
It sounds like you don’t want an urban environment, but if that changes, look into Roosevelt in Chicago - they have a dance concentration available in their BFA MT program, and even if you are not IN the dance concentration, the level of dance training available to you would be rigorous.
But it sounds like your vibe is a bit more of a traditional-feeling campus that skews larger. State school vibes with strong BFA MT training.
How do you feel about Ball State if you like IU, Oakland University or Western Michigan if you like UMich, Missouri State, Montclair State, Ohio University or the University of Utah, just to start?
