I need help! PLEASEE

[alisondancer]

So, I have a few questions... I hope someone will be willing to offer their opinion.


First of all, I am a senior in high school and I live in NC. I've danced for fourteen years and have gone to a "competition studio" and a "dance conservatory". I'm trained in ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, modern, pointe, etc.


Anyways, I was just accepted as a dance major at the University of South Carolina. I am sooooo excited, but am trying to decide what to do about college plans. My choices are:

---Go to USC, which will cost about $8,000 more per year, where I will double major as a contemporary dance major and a pre-pharmacy major. This will let me join a company one day and will give me a degree in dance and pharmacy.

---Or, I could go to UNC Chapel Hill where I would try out for the dance team. Chapel Hill's dance team is ranked third in the nation though, and I don't know if I will make it.... I would major in pre-pharmacy here, as well.


The biggest problem is that I have to tell USC if I want to major in dance before I audition at Chapel Hill.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

Please help

UNC Chapel Hill is an excellent, highly ranked school. It's a good choice. However, is there really a problem if you end up accepted at two school - can always withdraw from USC if you get a better offer from UNC can't you?

(been awhile since I've applied for college, so I don't actually remember)

Unfortunately, no. The head of the dance department at USC is making you commit by April 1 and the UNC dance team audition isn't until April 18, so I will have to make a decision before I know if I am accepted at both.
