@WayOutWestMom Perhaps that was a poor choice of words on my part. By “pre-med track” I simply meant they are all US schools used to working with kids to meet med school requirements. My D is a theatre and chorus kid and was told at one college tour last year that their music majors performed best on the MCATs. So she does understand that which is one of the reasons most of her applications will be to LAC. And another reason the interest in StA threw me off a bit.
In her case she is interested in Chem or Biochem with a minor in Communications or Creative Writing. At the moment anyway. She would also like the opportunity to participate in Theatre as an EC.
But this is probably getting off topic for the UK forum 
Unless the kiddo surprises me with something else tonight. Thanks again for taking the time for the detailed responses. I will start another thread as we continue to navigate our way through this crazy process.
