Which to show rigor? Discrete vs Linear Algebra vs Calc 2? Science course?

Just want to expand on my hurried response about many options. Aside from BA w/extracurricular and electives in a performing art, and the BFA option, there are dual degrees, double major, major/minor. Some students don’t even major in the performing art.

It can depend how immersed the student wants to be in the performing art. That can change in the final year of high school, too, so applying to different options can be wise, as your daughter is doing.

Summer programs and other summer opportunities can be important too.

For music majors, there is a great essay entitled "Double Degree Dilemma’ in the Read Me thread in the music major forum. It uses hypothetical individuals to illustrate different paths. It might translate to other performing arts.
