<p>Wisdom. Son did not get into USC. If he had, this would have been a no-brainer. It was his top choice! </p>
<p>Fortunately, he wasn’t heartbroken, because SMU made such a great impression on him. I’m a little worried about the large number of kids that are in fraternities (so hypocritical, since I was in a sorority myself, but maybe that’s why I have reservations!) and wonder if the Meadows students are as alcohol/party focused as the rest of the campus seems to be?</p>
<p>Regarding a double major – he’s less passionate about it than he’s ever been. I think in the beginning of the year he was trying to be practical, so he applied to a number of schools as a physics major, figuring he might minor in theater and audition for shows. And so, we have all those acceptances to consider.</p>
<p>As the school year progressed, however, and he had an acting internship at a nationally known theater, he started leaning more toward acting, which is why we are now where we are now. </p>
<p>Madbean – I’ve seen your son’s acceptances and he has so many GREAT options! you should be very proud! Regarding Tulane, my other son is a freshman there. He loves it. Loves the city, loves his classes. Even likes the food at Bruff. 
But he’s into poly sci and history and doesn’t have a clue about the theater program, so he’s no help!</p>
<p>I’ve heard the theater program at Arizona is good; I’ve just never seen anyone on these boards talk about it.</p>
<p>Anyway, it does sound like we’re leaning SMU but any info on the other schools is welcome, because we’ll be having the money/personal goals/etc. talk, as I said.</p>
<p>y’all are awesome. I’ve truly enjoyed learning about your experiences from this board. I don’t post much, but everyone has been such a big help.</p>
