BA/BFA question

Hoping someone here can help. Have called the conservatory twice for an answer to this question, but no concrete answer yet. Was told that the freshman Conservatory Theater and Musical Theater students are classified as BA students and need to audition during their freshman year for the BFA program. Since they seem to take so many freshman (50 -100?), does anyone know how many (or what percentage) actually go on in the BFA program in theater & MT?

Just wondering how it impacts the student's training to remain in the conservatory as a BA student competing with the BFA students, who:

from website:
"The University also offers those students who, in judgement of the faculty, have the potential to succeed in professional theatre may pursue the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program after completion of the first year."

Sounds like they don't think the BA students have the potential to succeed, and if so, what is the point of enrolling in the conservatory?

Sorry, I must be missing something, but the conservatory folks are not providing the answer so I thought someone here might know. Thanks!!
