Bak MSOA ITS Induction Ceremony
Bak MSOA ITS Induction Ceremony

DSOA Parents, especially those that are former or current Bak parents, this video is from an event I visited on Friday night at Bak. I was impressed by many things, including the kids and the breadth of support from the parents. Both schools have tremendous parent support, but if you think that the high school doesn't need it as much because the kids are older, think again. If you think your kids don't want you there, they may say it, but I rarely feel more welcome than I do at DSOA, the kids are a throwback to the days when kids had conversations with adults. Fact is, most of the kids in our program are Bak graduates. This is an unabashed plea that you transfer the same level of commitment and excitement to DSOA. We NEED you, your talents, connections and time. Message your contact information and let us know what you would like to help with. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!

College Fair is today 3:40 to 6p! ALL GRADES AND THEIR PARENTS are strongly encouraged to attend. It helps keep Freshmen and Sophomores on track, PLUS there are great summer programs at many of these schools AND Interlochen, a late add, will be there!

FRESHMEN TO SENIOR PARENTS & STUDENTS: It’s here! The 2021 Fall College Fair eCatalog. You’ll find information on all of the schools attending, important tips on how to ”do” Fair, COVID rules, and more!

One additional tip: Parents: PLEASE let your students move either by themselves, or with friends. Feel free to ask any question you want, especially about money, a big concern.

When you go with them, though, they tend to clam up, and let you do the talking. That doesn’t help the admissions officer get to know them.

These are the people who read their college files, eventually. The more that they get to meet, and, hopefully, know your kid, the more likely that is to aid them in the admissions process.

We have some amazing schools, including many many that you’ve never heard about before, that have life-shaping, life-changing outcomes for your student.

Sign up for vFAIR 2020 TODAY! Schools are both PRE-REGISTERING for interviews, making appointments, AND showcasing things about their schools before Fair opens. Students, and parents should sign up SEPARATELY. Students need to speak to Admissions Officers on their own, so these people, who will be their readers, and advocates, will get to know them. Parents can ask their own great questions. Pick places to be at home that are separated enough, and do find spaces where you don’t have a lot of back-lighting from windows, or very distracting backgrounds.

REGISTER FOR FAIR NOW AT:
https://dreyfoos.heydays.io/events
CODE: PTSOFair20

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN IMMEDIATE DREYFOOS STUDENTS, AND FAMILIES.
The 2020 College Fair eCatalog is now available: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zalcp296oczwl2d/DSOA%202020%20Fall%20College%20Fair%20eCatalog%20%20.pdf?dl=0
ALL STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS:

Today’s the day! Check into the Fair to see who’s there, and reserve your times with schools to ask questions!

Parents should register separately from students. It is VERY IMPORTANT that your student have one-on-one conversations with the admissions officers, even if you are SURE that they won’t talk (They always do.).

Admissions officers have always been able to really capture, and will, especially in this format, their recollections of your student, and you.

That interaction does often become part of their memories of a student that can positively affect how they see your student at application time, should your child apply.

Teamwork: Work together:

• Research the schools on the fair list before Fair day, using the questions in the prior post’s PDF about how to do fair right. Write down good questions. Both you and your student should use your pad in front of you, visibly, to refer to with them. Schools have always been impressed with Dreyfoos students’, and parents‘, preparation. It’s why we get so many coming back to Fair, year after year. (They tell us so.)

• Schedule your times with the schools BEHIND your student’s time.

• Find your own space to be in your video conference.

More will come online every day, as they set up their spaces.

To keep appointments open for you, and our kids, please DO NOT SHARE with outside friends and family.

THEATRE and DANCE parents: Not on everyone’s radar, Muhlenberg College has an excellent program where they send students to learn with Broadway talent, and they bring down those artists to campus as well. Now their dance department has also agreed to come along.

They LOVE Dreyfoos students and have given our kids, in the recent past, GREAT money. Your kid (NOT YOU) should definitely outreach to Tara Nelan, the Florida admissions officer. For V-Fair, she will have their theatre director attending/talking to our students AND he's coordinating with a colleague in the dance department. There will be some excellent theatre seminars scheduled!
ALL DREYFOOS FAMILIES, GRADES 9-12: Today, on Dreyfoos School of the Arts College Fairs we’re announcing schools that will be attending our first-ever VIRTUAL College Fair, that will have some big bonuses for you all!

Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 24th, and LIKE THIS EVENT/Share with non Facebook parents.

The College Fair is not just for Seniors/Juniors. We find that getting our freshmen, and sophomores thinking about where they might go keeps them on-track with the classes that they need to hit those goals, and better focused keeping their grades up.

Students, and parents, will be able to book time slots to talk to admissions officers PRIOR to the event. We will let you, and your students, know when that will open up, officially. It should be within the next week or two.

PARENTAL NOTE: Please book your time-slots SEPARATELY from your student. Here’s why:

When students, and parents, are in front of the admissions officers, the parents, more often than not, speak for the students.

This is that rare opportunity, though, for students to be able to make an impression about themselves, by speaking one-on-one with the admissions officer that is usually their top reader of their file. Students who can make an impression as to who they are, sans parental units, usually are more memorable than:

“Bobby is one the best violists in the State of Florida. He’s been to All-State since he could walk. Tell them Bobby... Bobby... He’s just very shy.”

Also, for virtual fair, since we are not in the hall, where the energy usually helps students feel braver about looking at more things, going around with their friends, etc., please try to find spaces at home, if you can, where you can be separately, so they feel like they can venture out on their own, as they do at fair. We will encourage them to chat with their friends, on SMS text, or social media, while Fair is happening, to give them the same kind of support struture that works so well in the real-world version of College Fair.

If you want to ask your own questions about the school, or inquire about financial aid questions, please do what we ask your kids to do: Research the schools that will be coming, make a list of questions for ones of interest, and then make a FOLLOW-UP appointment, a little behind the timeslot of your student, on the virtual fair, to ask about that.

On the College Fairs Page, live NOW, we have a video tutorial on how the virtual fair format works.
Seniors & Families: DO NOT take ANY DEAL, even if you are 100% certain of where you are attending, until you see your full financial aid package, you’ve DOUBLE-CHECKED what their alumni network and/or graduate/job placement rates are when you leave school, etc. You will get better money as students pull out prematurely, and more of the money set aside to lure them gets put back to lure you. Financial Aid offices HAVE TO RETAIN students with desirable cohorts that help them populate their schools.

It is ALWAYS better to use your ability to work for up to $10K a year, and what your family can afford, to attend a school with better MAFIA (Professors/Alumni) than to take a freebie at a school without the life tools that you need to succeed. Want to figure it all out?

Taking FREE appointments for SENIOR families in the month of April to help you personally figure out your financial aid and college options. Please book at
One last crib before Fair: Look at your eCatalog one more time. Capstone schools are Gold Standard. If you see Capstone under the description of the school, GO!

They can help your student cut a year out of grad school, OR push them ahead of the pack to some of the best graduate schools, medical schools, law schools in the world!

Bates College, Case Western Reserve, Oberlin, New College of Florida, and many others are your super-slingshots into life! Here's why:
