<p>Hey…I know zero about theatre but I was surprised that the OP did not put down VCU as a safety…much better arts/theatre program than UVA or WM and a certain safety and financially an easy load. UVA is NOT a shoe in for anyone from NoVa and, while they want to have an ethnically diverse group of students, we saw the carnage last April when many black and hispanic students with excellent grades not so excellent SATs (like your S) were rejected and had failed to have good instate backups like VCU or George Mason lined up. The governor’s school definitely helps but you will find when he returns this month that most of the kids there are planning on applying to VCU as their first choice or their first safety so he may come back with a new school on his list.</p>
