[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I opened this ready to say that 5 schools is fine, but if she's applying to auditioned based programs, then being green on Naviance, or having a high predicted acceptance rate on College Vine is meaningless.  It will all come down to what they think of her talent.  Auditioned programs are very hard to predict.

Does she have a non-auditioned safety?  [/quote]

Her academic safeties are both auditions-based and artistically selective. But fortunately she’s been artistically accepted to one of them (JMU) and she’ll know about the other safety in two weeks.

Her remaining schools audition for talent scholarships, not acceptance to the major.

She’s burned out because for all of these arts programs, it’s a three-part process involving acceptance to the school, admission to the program, and application for honors and/or a talent scholarship. Each stage requires something new of her.

I think giving her time to rest is a great idea, as much as I’d prefer for her to bang them out and be done, that feels inhumane right now.[/quote]

The extra honors work is no joke.  My kid submitted several and has one more pending for VT.

Sounds like she is doing well and earned a reprieve![/quote]
