[quote=Anonymous][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]

Congratulations.

Is she classical dance or commercial dance?[/quote]

I'm not sure they make that distinction as a major (you also are not technically a dance major until sophomore year, a full year dancing with the department).  Her classes include ballet, modern, etc. So I think more classically based, like her training before college? (Though she gave up Pointe, but they have that too) She does not want a performative career, she's on a teaching track and says the school has a solid record of placing grads in schools (private/ public). We shall see, her Dad and me try to plant seeds of her owning her own studio one day, but that's our dream not really hers. We want her to be able to financially have a decent job but those decisions are hers, just like her college choice was. [/quote]

Towson is a really tough dance admit! Congrats.

My daughter is choosing between Dean and Radford for a dance major currently. We need Dean to show us more money, but it is her first choice. She is only planning a BA so that she can also take classes in exercise science (likely minor at Radford or an AA for a dual degree at Dean)[/quote]
