I had my audition today for Emerson and was very impressed with how kind and willing to answer questions the faculty was. There were also students there to answer any questions that we had.
However I felt as if their cut program has been misrepresented on their website. They have a cut policy where only 16 continue to their junior year, with an original class of around 25. They do cut to this exact number every year, so i can't see how it would not be called a cut program. They told us that many students drop out, or change majors before thi time, so very few had to be cut. But after talking with one of the students, her class is up for the cut with 28 and no on has dropped out yet.
They also have very few dance classes, only one a semester. They also say it is very difficult to fit any more into your schedule. Their goal is to have their students graduate as singers and actors who move well.
The showcase that Emerson has is held only in Boston with mostly Boston professionals, although there are a few invited from New York.
There also isn't a real campus for Emerson, but since it is in Boston and there are so many colleges around it almost feels like a giant campus.
