[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, DD is looking for a BA program, not BFA, on the mid-Atlantic coast. She dislikes big cities so won’t consider Baltimore, New York, etc. She would be okay with DC but AU not GWU. DH and I disagree on the right approach. He feels that UMDCP is the only school that meets all her needs - and our budget - and that if she doesn’t get in as a freshman, she should go to MC and try again until she does. I agree that UMDCP is the perfect combination but I want her to have other options. I appreciate all the suggestions.[/quote]

Is this for ballet, OP?[/quote]

[b]She’d like both ballet and contemporary, weighted more heavily toward contemporary.[/quote][/b]

Check out carefully the PP's claim that the UMCP faculty is not tenured or adjunct.  My SLAC brought in (poor) modern dance teachers.  I ended up going off-campus for classes, which she probably will want to do for ballet since she sounds at a very advanced level.  Most universities won't offer classes to suit.  I went off campus for undergrad and law school.  Can you afford anything in Boston?  Boston and Cambridge have a lot of good schools.  UCLA has a good dance program but you said she doesn't want to go that far west and also it's impossible to get into from OOS.  I know someone who did Towson for dance.  This link says it is ranked no. 12.  https://www.towson.edu/cofac/departments/dance/.  That would be more affordable.  Good luck!  It sounds like UMCP is your best bet.  There are old threads here on the same topic - usually seeking a good college with an elite ballet program.  Unfortunately for your DD it really doesn't exist.[/quote]
