| Brian,
If you look back at the beginning of Part 8, Thesbohemian took the time to put together a long, linked list of BFA schools and marked some of them as being very selective. I agree with most of those. Like you said, it is tough overall and most of the BFA programs you have to audition for are going to have small classes and low admit rates. Also, keep in mind that many of them "cast" their classes, so there's really no way of telling which might take you. It just depends on who else is out there and what they're looking for that particular year. I've seen it happen more than once where kids got in one or more of the "top" schools but were rejected from others that might generally be considered a ways down the list selectivity-wise. It could have been that they just tanked on those auditions, but I doubt it. |
