| I know pretty much what AlwaysAMom knows and posted. My D did not apply there. I have a client I'm currently counseling who is an applicant there. My girls' have a local friend who is a talented dancer who auditioned there for dance but did not get in dance but is attending anyway, I think due to academics and limited options. This summer I met a girl from our region who was a lead in a professional production my D was in. This girl had gone to MM for MT but transferred out along the lines of what I'm reading now, and is at a college in our state in theater but it is a BA program and not MT though I guess she got a scholarship and feels she has more opportunities.
I have recommended MM to students who want a BFA program, though it is not a BFA in MT but there is a minor concentration in it, who want to be in NYC and whose academic profiles may make other BFA programs a stretch, plus MM's selectivity in terms of the audition element is a bit "easier", though by no means EASY, than BFA programs with stronger applicant pools. I think my D knows a boy who is a freshman now in the program, someone she performed with when younger (quite talented back then) at her theater camp, who didn't have a strong academic profile, and nor does my client. For certain students, this school is one to explore.
