Bumping again, as this is already on page two! If you're starting the process, you may want to read this thread before the pinned ones about acceptances etc.

Bumping for those beginning the process this summer!

Bumping . . .sure wish we could get this pegged at the top as so many folks are on here a looooong time before they figure out to look under "more featured discussions" . . .

Christie2 · 08-26-2012, 06:45 PM

Time to bump this up from page 4! Read this whole thread if you are beginning the process. The info here is invaluable!

Bumping. . . excellent advice

This is such a great thread for juniors and seniors to read. I thought I would share this and get this back up to the top of page 1!
The Top 5 Things I Wish I'd Done Before Undergrad - TheaterMania U - Oct 26, 2012

Sending good thoughts to all the seniors and their families as the fall auditions start up!

Thanks for posting the article (your daughter's, right?)--I teach arts at the high-school level and have just shared this on my Facebook page, as I think so many kids (including my own) need to hear her advice.

Times3 - She is my daughter. We learned so much from CC when she was a senior so we try and stick around and pay it forward. Glad you felt the article was worthwhile!

bumping for a friend

Bumping for those juniors starting to look, as the seniors are well into the mode! Best of luck to all in the upcoming months!

Christie2 · 02-01-2013, 01:46 AM

Bumping up this great resource for those just finding CC!

Can you suggest some BA safety schools for my sophomore son to consider? We are beginning to compile a list of schools to visit so it would be helpful to hear other people's thoughts on this.

MTCoach · 02-07-2013, 09:44 AM

There are big lists of all types of schools both here
The MT Project List of Musical Theatre Programs and here
Big List of MT Colleges by Program Type

Keep in mind that just because a program is a BA doesn't necessarily mean that it's a safety. Some non-audition programs that I personally point some of my students to when they're first considering are CalState Chico, Columbia in Chicago, Stephens College in Missouri or Carthage in Wisconsin (especially to students who identify a bit more as singers). The list of non-audition schools seems to get smaller and smaller -- many of the programs are choosing to audition their students now. All best to you and you son as you start this journey!

2 more that we found were North Central College (near Chicago) and University of Tulsa

MTCoach · 02-07-2013, 10:15 AM

I didn't realise the North Central was non-audition! I've made that correction on my site, thanks! UTulsa does require auditions though.

Also a note on my post - the schools I listed are just a FEW of the non-audition BAs (some are BFAs as well) out there. Those are simply the ones I list first to my students upon consideration - many other good choices out there!
