[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter's sat's were just under 1200, gpa was i think 3.85 or so, extracurriculars were good, she applied and did second performance  interviews for the department at most of these schools because she's a dance major. She got into almost all she applied to: American, JMU, George Mason, Radnor, VCU. A couple others I can't remember. She ended up choosing Towson and got 2 k in merit aid. She loves it there. She was swiftly rejected by Montclair State in nj in the dance department (though accepted to the school). They are one of the most competitive dance programs in part because all dance majors pay in state tuition even from other states. And it's just a well known program. I had hoped she would apply to small or medium liberal arts colleges on the east coast with better names and status. That's not where the best dance programs were. She knew that and did what she wanted. And it served her well, I'm proud she followed her own plan. [/quote]

Congrats! Towson’s dance program is awesome. I have a dancer too and she will be looking at some of the same schools. What made you decide on Towson versus JMU? We’re looking at both, and UMD.[/quote]

Cost and location were I think, the deciding factors for Towson vs JMU. We live in MD, she received some money from JMU but not very much. She liked Towson a lot and had also been diagnosed with a medical issue so the proximity to St. Joseph's hospital right next door to Towson was also I think reassuring to her (as was staying a bit closer to home...though she never comes home on random weekends). Both are very good! She didn't apply to U of MD, so I know less about the program there. Her friends there love it.[/quote]
