| "this should not be a personal attack forum...so i think this should go back to a focus on UA as an entire program and not YOUR surprise cut.
in my experience...people who are cut often think they were a surprise.
people who arent cut...often knew exactly who would be cut. "
I haven't been attacking anyone personally - I have been attacking what I see as an unethical practice by a university that I have had first-hand experience with.
On the other hand, just within the statements I've copied and pasted above, you have been attacking me personally - my credibility, my character, my maturity level. I actually think U of A was right to cut me - I wasn't right for their program, mostly because I didn't particularly *like* their program, and there was at least one professor who I found to be incredibly abusive to students in classes and rehearsals (you know who I mean...) But I find an enormous amount of fault with their lack of an individual warning system. Also, the faculty did not tell me I was cut because I was a bad fit for the program - they told me it was because I was an incompetent actor.
The head of the department at BoCo offered me admission as a transfer on the spot in my audition - I don't think that happens to incompetent actors.
Okay, I'm all done on this subject. All I'm trying to do is give people the details of *my* experience with this particular school, so they don't get a one-sided view of things. There are some professors at the U of A who I think are absolutely brilliant and wonderful, and Marsha Bagwell is one of them. She has posted on this board recently. Anyone who has the opportunity to study with her should consider themselves blessed, and I know I do. But there are other aspects of the program that are very scary and perhaps not worth the risk. I'm just trying to tell my story, and I would very much appreciate it, Goldyfiftyone, if you wouldn't continue to attack my personal character in your efforts to make your school look good. |
