Hi all. I am brand new to this site so please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place. Have a daughter who is interested in pursuing a BFA in MT (she is a current junior). Am just beginning the college search process and contacted CMU for some information.
They told me that approximately 2000 students audition for the drama program with approximately 28 accepted. Is that right (I have to assume it is coming from the school.) Is CMU the Harvard of MT? Are there that many MT kids coming out of high school each year who audition for colleges?
I thought college ballet programs were competitive. This is unbelievable. Again, I apologize if I'm not in the right place on the CMU threads. Thank you.
CMU isn't the only "Harvard" for MT as far as percentage of auditionees accepted - reading this board will reveal a lot of other "scary" numbers. There are definitely that many kids auditioning for places, especially girls, and the process is incredibly competitive. However, there are good non-audition schools as well.
Good luck to you and your D - you have started examining the process with plenty of time left!
