<p>She would absolutely be a candidate for an MFA theatre program with a different major - and I think something in the writing area would be a very natural tie-in. Great background for script analysis!</p>
<p>I recently read an article online - wish I’d saved the link - I think it may have been from the WSJ, that had a student talking about going to a “lesser” school, but emerging debt-free, and because she was top-notch, created opportunities for herself which she most likely would never have gotten at a more prestigious school. That, along with fantastic teacher rec’s, got her into her dream grad school on a full ride.</p>
<p>In these uncertain economic times, I always urge graduating debt-free, or as near to that as possible.</p>
<p>I agree that the notion of a strict cut program such as U of A’s would scare me – however, a couple of thoughts to consider… as long as she was in good standing in the unversity, she would be cut from the program, not the school, correct? In which case, the switch to writing major could happen. Possibly (although not necessarily - depending on if it would be all the same instructors as the BFA), she could still minor, or take some theater classes through the BA program.</p>
