Location/Region: I am looking to stay on the East Coast, though I am willing to go as far West as Texas. I would like to be at least within an hour of a major city, preferably closer.

Major: Primarily Theatre Arts/Drama, but I would like the ability to double major.

GPA/Test Scores: GPA is something like 3.8 unweighted. I currently have a 31 ACT, but I am definitely planning on retaking.

Curriculum: I would love good music programs on campus to be a part of. As for academics, I would love a school that allows me to explore interests outside of my major. I would also love to study abroad.

Size: I think I would like a medium sized school (3-15k) but I'm not picky here.

Costs: I'm probably not getting much FAFSA help, so if I can get good merit that would be great.

Schools You're Currently Looking At: Reaches: Yale, Brown, Colby, Case Western, Cornell, Emory, Swarthmore, Tufts Match: Winthrop, Kenyon, USC Columbia, UGA, U of Delaware, FSU Safeties:
Augusta University, Lynn University, James Madison

Additional:
I would love to trim down this list, especially the reaches. If putting any of these schools are only on my list because I'm blinded by their prestige, please tell me. If you need any more info to engage well with this post, just ask!

CMU :))))

#

fin aid could be hit and miss

#

but i’ll put in a good word to my colleagues if u apply

#

we have a very good theatre program but also rlly good other majors (cs and engineering as u may already know)

#

we have smth called bxa which is an interdisciplinary degree that combined arts with smth else (cs, engineering, sciences, humanities) and u can choose drama for ur arts i believe

#

it might suit ur interests in exploring subjects outside of ur major
