YIPEEE Anthony had his first college admittance today. He has applied for 6 schools. One of his top choices, the University of Northern Colorado, at Greeley, admitted him today for the freshman class entering fall 2010. UNC and Valparaiso University (in Indiana) are his top two choices.
2 others are colleges he really wants to consider, one he will visit next month.
2 others he's applied to but they aren't his top choices.
After this first round of admittance, he re-takes the ACT October 24 to up his score and then has to audition/interview for the theatre department at all the schools which admit him. He is primarily auditioning for theatre tech/production, though he does like to act as well.
Tech/production students need a portfolio/resume of shows on which they have worked. He'll interview for those, it's usually not an audition. He is attending an interview at one school next month. University of Northern Colorado has their interview/auditions in January of February.
The process is to see where he is admitted, then interview for the theatre departments, then apply for financial aid when FAFSA opens apps in January, then in Spring when the financial aid packages come out, compare financial aid packages of the schools which have admitted him to their theatre programs. The theatre interview/audition process is one reason he has 6 schools to which he has applied.

Sounds kind of scary-exciting all at the same time to be leading him through this and knowing he'll be heading out on his own soon. Best of luck to him as he preps for interviews and such.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Anthony! :)

ReplyDeleteYou guys knew by September of Anthony's Senior year. I'm impressed. It's my son's senior year (maybe) and we are clueless.
ReplyDeleteNeed better test scores!!!
Susan, we spent the summer between Junior and senior year visiting colleges. We started just before soph. year getting brochures and literature fro colleges. He applied to four colleges the summer before his senior year and 3 that fall. Different colleges have different application dates. Many colleges will start accepting apps for Fall '12 next month. Some will start accepting in August, September and October. Acceptances for Fall '12 freshman will start this August around the country. Anthony had all of his acceptances by Thanksgiving of his senior year and then it was just a matter of ranking them by choice and then seeing who came back with the best financial aid, which just happened to be his first choice (which was also my first choice). Valpo is an outstanding school and I'm glad he's there.
