It’s obviously fine that some auditioners still had their usual full schedules during the college audition season, but don’t worry that your child won’t be able to handle the busy schedule of a BFA if your he/she decides or is advised to cut out some activities during this. It doesn’t at all mean he/she won’t be prepared for the rigors of a BFA. All of the students I know, including my D, who chose to scale back for the crazy months of November–February are thriving in their intense BFA programs. (Remember that my D chose to not be in shows during those months. Granted, she just completed her first semester, but she is absolutely thriving and loving it.) They likely have been preparing for it by their performance and academic (and other) lives for a long time.
