Performing and Visual Arts Program Admissions

How much does the audition matter? Do grades even count? What role does the portfolio play? If you are wondering exactly how admissions works at performing and visual arts programs, College Coach expert Kyra Tyler is here to share her insight gained from years assisting students going through the process and her own experience as a flute performance major. Jonathan Fink, Vice President for Research and Strategic Partnerships and Professor of Geology at Portland State University, will also join the show to discuss undergraduate research opportunities at colleges and universities. We'll also welcome college finance expert Shannon Vasconcelos back to the show to talk about student loan forgiveness for students in public service.
