Each year's freshman MT class generally holds in between 20 and 25. The acting classes tend to hold 30 to 35. I would assume that acceptance is offered to around twice the lowest number of class members, so about 40 MT acceptances and 60 acting acceptances, but these are really just estimates. As UArts has a waiting list, it could be a large exaggeration as well. Though I've been a student there, I've never asked about the acceptance process and am not sure it's incredibly clear-cut as to which waitlisted person would be the next in line for acceptance if two people had the same audition score.

We all know that Universities accept more students than they would want, just as airlines tend to "overbook." Statistics show that it tends to work out better for Universities than for airlines, though.

sheerviolette, that lines up with what someone else told me, especially that the acting class is larger by about 10 than the MT class. Thanks so much ...

Last year I wrote to the school to ask about numbers and I was told that over 350 auditioned, 50 were offered acceptance to end up with a class of about 24 for MT around 12 boys and 12 girls, I was also told that that was similar to the year before. This year I have been told that auditions are widening and including more international.
