Choosing the right college is difficult for high school student. If you are interested in drama, it may seem at first that the number of conservatories and theater programs reduces your options. In terms of numbers, it does, perhaps, unless you are looking at larger universities or small, liberal arts colleges.

But if you are convinced you want to attend a specialized program in theater, then you still will find lots of variety within those programs.

Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, offers an excellent drama program within its school of fine arts.

Mark Montgomery spent a day on the campus and talked with some students in the drama school about their experiences and how they came to select CMU. Mark also asked them about their audition experiences in preparing their monologues and their solo singing pieces.

This is what they told him.

Mark is an independent college counselor and educational planner based in Denver, Colorado, with clients from all over the country and all over the world

He helps students determine which are the best colleges and universities that fit their needs, talents, and aspirations. Then he helps them with the entire admissions process, from filling out the applications to completing the essays.

Mark can also help students to make good course choices in high school, assist in making priorities for extracurricular activities, and ensure that students continue to make progress toward their goals. This includes plans for taking standardized tests (SAT, SAT2, ACT, TOEFL).

Mark can also offer advice on how to reduce the cost of college through a combination of scholarships and financial aid from the colleges themselves.

Mark can help you find the right college for you---and get in!
