| Thanks, AlwaysAMom. And since this is a MT Forum, and the numbers above are for all of Tisch Drama (8 studios), the admit rate reflected in those numbers is higher than for MT alone (CAP21). I don't have the exact number but at least 1000 (may be higher actually) audition specifying CAP21 as their first choice studio (and do a MT audition). They may accept about 75 to yield 64. These are approximate figures and may not be entirely up to date on this year's cycle but would be good to include in the chart to show the rate for the MT program itself.
Also, I am glad that for many, but not ALL, of the programs, people are listing the number admitted and not JUST the slots in the class. A common misconception that I see on CC OFTEN is that X number apply for Y number of slots but not realizing it is about how many are accepted to yield Y number of slots. When figuring an acceptance rate, it is about the number ADMITTED, not the number of slots in the program.
Another common misconception I have observed here over the years is when talking of wait lists, some seem to think that if not all accepted choose to enroll, the school may go to a wait list and for MANY (not all schools) they have accepted more than they plan to yield and so may not need to use a wait list if not all who were accepted attend as "extras" were already built into the acceptance group. There are exceptions such as CMU who accepts the exact number of slots and uses a wait list if not all enroll. |
