Whats happening with CMU MT. We seemed to know that some have been accepted already but has anyone gotten a rejection yet? Also have the letters from Itahca and Emerson gone out yet. We are still waiting.

You can check Ithaca online by going to the MyIthaca link. My d has not gotten her letter from them but the decision was on line. Some people have heard from Emerson which supposedly sent its letters this week. We haven't gotten anything yet though!

Does anyone know anything about Hofstra's theater program?

For the record Rutgers told me that they auditioned 566 students for BFA Acting accepted 28 and waitlisted 29 this year.

WOW. Thanks for the numbers, Wally.

I'm surprised that Rutgers accepted 28 people. Are they all actors, or are some of them in production? My son is just finishing his freshman year at RU and there are only 16 students in his class. They told us that they take in classes of no more than 20 or so students because they want be able to focus on the students they take in and not let anyone get lost in the shuffle.

rumom, most programs accept more than will actually enroll. A 100% yield is rare even at the most selective programs.

At Emerson, if you don't get into the BFA, is it possible that will they accept you to the BA?

babar

Emerson is unusual in that the applicant must specify either the BFA or BA program when auditioning. Many other schools will offer a BA to a BFA applicant if they feel it's a more appropriate program for that candidate. Emerson's position is that the applicant needs to choose based on preference and then they select from those specific pools. So the short answer is no.

with travelling....anyone know about Hofstra?

Is anybody still waiting to hear from U Mich? D auditioned at Chicago Unifieds in Feb, still hasn't heard anything. How do they notify normally - email? letter?

I don't know anything specifically, but I recall there being some light discussion on the Hofstra thread (in the Colleges by name section). It was awhile ago so you'd have to use the search criteria to find conversations up to one year ago and sift through (but there's not tons of activity there so it's not too bad).

Thanks, ElliotsMom.

Hello,
I've not posted to this thread, but have asked a question over on the MT thread about Uof A acting and was told to come back over here...I am not sure which sandbox to play in since the BFA MTs and the BFA actings are fequently in the same studio "stream" at most of the schools that have been discussed. The voice & dance are layered on. My student has auditioned for both MT and BFA/Acting programs so I have a foot in both places although the preference is Acting. Besides thegreatargos, is there anyone else with a thought on the straight BFA acting program at U of A?

I wanted to add another tidbit of information, specifically for those students cut too late to get into the formal transfer process. Have you looked at SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design? ) Rolling admissions all year. BFA Performing arts; they take a very broad approach to training, unlike a conservatory. The new department head, who was hired away from DeSales University, has been there about 3 years and wow- they have some interseting plans in the works. Their next talent audition day (for scholarship) is coming up in April, perhaps the 14th. We were very impressed. Liked what we saw in production as well. It's an "out of the box" thought, but like many newcomers, they seem to be coming on strong.
