<p>KEVP – did you actually look at the list of schools my daughter is applying to? Other than perhaps a recent shift in emphasis at BU, NYU is the only school on her list that I would put as an academic emphasis school. I have little doubt that she is fully prepared to attend and thrive in a conservatory environment. The great bulk of her schools – CMU, Purchase, NCSA, U of Arts, Depaul, Hartt, etc. – are schools that are essentially the audition and thats it. </p>
<p>Also, on the SAT practice test issue, there is some context here beyond what I’ve posted. My daughter experienced some serious health issues that put her on home schooling last year. Some of these issue resurfaced this Fall. Keeping up with school work and preparing for monologues is pretty much full time without a lot of time left for practice tests. Stress level is quite high right now. Though I supposed Sandy could end up giving her some more time to do practice tests.</p>
<p>GH – a BA program is just not a good fit for her so even if one might accept her without an SAT score it would not be what she wanted.</p>
