Noooo no no! I was highly incompetant at music theory when I first got here. I'm sure I bomed my theory exam when i auditioned 2 years ago, and I still got in. The exam is not even part of you initial audition anymore. So don't even worry about that. For your audition you need to have a monologue and 3 cong choices prepaired, at your audition Vicky(program head) will choose 2 for you to sing. And while the College itself is rolling admissions, the program isnt really. I know for this years auditions they're doing the following... We had one early admission audition back in Nov where the auditioners were notified by Dec. For all the the auditions in January and February we should be sending them out at the same time. You can expect them by march 1st.

Thank you so much! My strongest suit is def. singing so thats a plus. Is there any sort of dance audition? Also if you do the common app. do they want a suppliment?

Defy_yourself_04 · 01-21-2007, 09:17 PM

Yes, there is a dance portion. When I auditioned in Nov. I thought that it was pretty hard, but then again, I don't have any dance experience.

The dance audition was pretty basic in my opinion. There were basic steps (nothing super advanced) but they were just all put together at a quicker tempo. If you have had some basic dance training, I wouldn't stress it. Overall, it was just a fun dance and a great audition, so have fun with it! Don't be afraid to add your personality to it.

What is the average gpa for acceptance there jw?

Defy_yourself_04 · 02-06-2007, 09:57 PM

..Is there a limit on how many times you can re-audition??

BWMT09 · 02-06-2007, 11:37 PM

nate: unless you're grades are absolutly not good, you should have no problem getting in. You are required to get into the school before you are allowed to audition, so once you get accepted to the college, you grades have no more weight on your acceptance into the MT program.

Defy_yourself_04: Honestly I don't know. I do know people do re-audition in the next round of auditions. For example, if someone had auditioned to be in the graduating class of '10 but didn't get in, they are allowed to re-audition the next year for acceptance into the class of '11. This happens a lot, but it's typically not succesful.

my grades as of right now are about average not bad border line average! But I'm busting my butt this year to get them up a bit higher!

BWMT09 · 02-07-2007, 08:16 PM

You'll have no problem getting into the college. But I recomend getting your grades up as high as possible, cause BW is pretty generous with their merit scholarships

Thanks!! And is BW's program more of a "cut throat" competitive/nurturing enviorment? Because that's the type of enviorment I work best in. I like competition and get really competitive when it comes to theater. I'm not mean to people...acutally I'm nice to people lol but when it comes to learning about theater/musical theater I take it super seriously.

Just wanted to give a quick update - I'm a freshman MT this year at BW--just finished my first week. I love it here. Everyone is nice and our freshman class of 12 is very diverse, talented, and fun. There is an awesome workout facility that we have free access to. I'm about to go get food, but just thought I'd give an update - I love it here and I highly suggest the program to anyone looking for schools to audition.

PS- Rumor has it Andrew Lloyd Weber is coming to see our Phantom of the Opera in Nov.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it was just a typo - but if not, remember that Webber has 2 B's

kyle style · 09-03-2007, 10:03 PM

thank you,.. Webber

My friend just auditioned at BW (without anyyyyyy acting training ever in her life haha.) And she said she got in! I heard also they weigh singing the most, next acting, and the least weighted is dance? Not sure if this is true -- I mean I know you can't "lack" necessarily with any component but I think maybe..just maybe..I might audition there for mt! I like the idea of the bachelor of MUSIC lol.

BWMT09 · 01-28-2008, 03:54 PM

Congrats to your friend. Acting is weighed just as much as singing, so she must have natural instincts. If you are not a dancer, it will not make you uneligable for the program, but if you are it will help you.
