travelling, i have a friend who got into acting bfa at cmu (she got a phone call), but i have a LOT of other friends who tried out and have not heard anything yet.
My son got a phone call that he was accepted into the CMU acting program a couple of weeks ago, and as of yesterday it was posted on the website. We have not yet received anything in the mail.
I don't know if they handled all acceptances the same way, or if they have notified everyone yet.
CMU has so far notified roughly 20 people for both their drama and mt programs. They notify people in waves the first was last week, this week is another and next week is the last. They accepted 10 MT majors and 18 drama. I hope that helps.
I was wondering how you had such detailed figures about CMU. I hope you would put this data out there if it were not fact checked. The last thing we need is kids getting their hearts broken on bad data.
While it is a fact that CMU aims to accept 10 for MT and 18 for Drama (I've heard this directly at auditions), I can't imagine how you know how many they have notified so far. Who released that data and where did you hear it?
Do any of you know about Hofstra's BFA Acting program? My D was accepted to their Theater Studies program (non-audition). Students audition in their freshman year to get into the BFA Acting program. We visited there last fall and saw a terrific production and thought the acting was great. I would appreciate any info you can provide. Thanks.
