Hi,

Does anyone have any information regarding Wagner College and their Theater Department. My T just interviewed for their design concentration. She seemed to like it very much.

yeah, i'd like to know something about wagner, too.....

is it audition-based?

Yes, she did design, so was just interviewed, but people were there auditioning.

Wagner is audition based, I auditioned and was accepted. It's suppsed to be a fairly decent program, and obviously has a fabulous location (staten island). What they do there is after all the applications are in, they invite the top 200 or so with the best grades to audition. I beleive they accept 45 in total and have a waitlist of 25.

Are you going? Where else have you applied and been accepted. My T was accepted there and we are trying to figure out if it is the best school for her. She likes the smallness and the proximity to the city. She was also accepted to Rutgers Mason Gross, which I think has a better dept., but she doesn't like that it is so big.

I think that she will wind up at Wagner.

I'm not positive yet, but I don't think I will be going to Wagner. I've also been accepted to Buffalo and OCU, waitlisted at BW, and have 4 more schools to hear from. The location is great, and so is the program. It's all about what school is right for you.

Went to see Oklahoma at Wagner tonight and it was terrific. Recommend going to see it if you are interested in the college or if you just want to see a really good college musical dance production. Check on their site for the dates this weekend and next week.

Where on their web site can you find the high school credit requirements? I need to know their application requirements for foreign language credits, math credits, etc. and cannot find it anywhere on the web site.

Going to see the Touring Company Wicked in Hartford later this month. Glinda graduated from Wagner!

NJmtmom - I saw her when Wicked was in Boston - she was terrific!

We saw Wicked in Boston, too. I didn't know she is a Wagner grad....I thought she was excellent. We have liked what we've seen and learned about Wagner's program. Beautiful campus, too.

Does anyone know if you have to send the arts supplement and a DVD to Wagner before you can set up an interview??? It seems a bit different than the other schools in setting up an audition...trying to get organized! HELP!

I think that's the way they used to do it in the past, but last year when my daughter auditioned they said they did away with sending in the preaudition packet because it was too difficult for many to manage and took too much time, so now it's a standard audition process but I do believe they look over your transcript for academics before they grant you an audition. I believe your grades need to be in the average range. Call the school for more info. they are so helpful.

Shellipearl...Soooo last year did you just send the application? ..Did you audition on the audition day?.. If you are going to Wagner what made you decide on this school. I'm afraid it might be too small for my daughter...
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
