Performing Arts Majors: Tips for Navigating Admissions Highlights: -BA majors are liberal arts majors that work similarly to any other BA, like history or English, and are great for students who want a traditional college experience. -When students are still deciding which path to take, they should consider their desired college experience. -Many campuses have a student-run theater that your student can get involved with even if they aren’t a theater major. It will require some sleuthing to know what is available at each college or university. -Visiting campus is vitally important for theater majors and performance arts majors. Your student will want to meet the faculty and start building those connections even before they’re on campus as a student. -Musical theater is more competitive and rare as a major than other theater majors. Its admissions rate is about 2%. https://buff.ly/3YMdwMG

Tips for College-Bound Neurodiverse Students Highlights: -Learning differences, from dyscalculia to autism to ADHD and so many more, are on a wide spectrum, and each student has different needs. You will want to identify what was most important for your student’s success. -The invisible support structures are those not on an IEP. They may look like medication support, parent monitoring of school work, or even waking your student in the morning. -It is a team approach to support your student in high school with written and invisible structures. It should also be a team approach to understanding what is key to your student’s success going into college. -By ADA regulations, all colleges that receive federal financial aid must provide basic support. But if your student needs more coordinated or structured support, you will want to seek that out during the college search process. -The admissions office does not speak with the accessibility office - you and your student should speak to those support offices directly. https://buff.ly/3WDYOGk
