<p>realjoy, I’m a little confused. Regarding U of A, has your D auditioned for the BFA and been accepted? If so, is she able to double major there to include her desire for writing?</p>
<p>I would be very careful about relying on the opinions of two high school teachers regarding the chances of any student suffering a cut from the U of A program, or any other program with a cut, for that matter. There is absolutely no way they could know that and it sounds to me like something that would typically be said by a teacher to the parent of a good student. There are just too many instances of kids who are doing well, by all accounts, in their classes and who are then surprised when they find out they’re cut. Have a close look at the discussions in the U of A forum here.</p>
<p>Kat’s post above has an abundance of excellent advice and information in it, and I second her comment about Hofstra. I would place that option at the top of the list, if it’s in the ballpark financially.</p>
