Great idea, Drama Mamma. After having just survived this process, I can’t imagine having the energy to do what you’re planning (smile)!

I’d add the talent scholarship info (see my thread on this), along with info about each school’s weighting of auditions vs. transcripts/scores where that info is available. Also, my d was most interested in (i) intensity of the theater curriculum; (ii) quality of the theater facilities; and (iii) how many gen ed courses were required (some kids want a strong LAC, others want more of a conservatory style education). I was concerned about the regimented cut systems at some conservatories; the integration of theatre kids with the rest of the school; junior year abroad programs (largely in England); the relationships between MT (where available) and actor training programs; and ready access by actors to voice lessons.
