BoCo & Transfers

BreakIntoSong · 04-14-2006, 12:18 AM

I'm curious about the transfer requirements for BoCo. I know some people on here have auditioned as a transfer so I'm curious if someone could answer my questions.

I've taken time off of school and will be applying next year for acceptance to the Fall 2007 year. Now I graduated high school in 2004 and went to a state school for a year afterwards and earned 30 credits before I withdrew. So how do I go about getting an academic recommendation if I have been out of my college for over a year? I don't know if anyone has been in this situation (having to get recommendations while long out of school) but I'm hoping someone can give me answers to what they did. Thanks!

I've been out of school since 2003. All I did was choose a few professors who I knew valued me and my work, and I sent them e-mails asking for recommendations. All three complied and were extremely nice and generous about it. It shouldn't be a problem for you.

To start as a sophomore at Boco, from my understanding, you need to have studied IPA and voice & movement, as well as music sight-reading. You also should have taken several acting and dance courses, and of course, private voice lessons. I don't know if you're going to try and enter as a sophomore, but that's the info I know from my audition interview. Hope that helps!

That does help me out. It brought up another question though, haha. When you transfer, must you start out as a sophomore? Or can you just start out as a freshman?

I have studied some of those things not many of them for long periods of time, all but the sight-reading really, however my voice teacher is teaching me basic music theory. I mean I personally don't think I'm prepared enough to skip freshman year and enter as a sophomore. I'd rather start over.

You can absolutely start as a freshman. I just wasn't sure what your level of college experience was, so I thought I'd offer the info if you were interested.

Personally, I completed 75 credits in a BFA MT major, so I would be pretty mad if I couldn't start as a sophomore.

Ah! Yeah I only have 30, so starting over wouldn't really bother me all that much, especially cause I wasn't in a BFA program beforehand. Thanks so much for your help Samia!

Of course! Anytime.
