Gwen Fairfax - CMU offers this interesting program called the BHA (Bachelors of Humanities and Arts) where you declare two concentrations, one in the College of Fine Arts (mine preferably Theatre Directing) and one in the College of Arts + Sciences. So it’s basically the best of both worlds, but you have to be academically AND artistically qualified for it, so it’s a definite reach for me.

KatMT - thank you so much! i’ll definitely look into those. financially, i’m not really looking for safeties. My mom has been saving up for my college education since before i was born, and I’m pretty sure we’ve got at least $30K to start out with. (althought with a $200K education at most of those schools, i’m not sure how great that will be) my stepbrother will also be in college this fall (great for need-based aid), and there are plenty of other scholarships i can easily qualify for (african-american, LGBT, they even offer scholarships for being left handed) so i’m not too worried.
