All college rejections

Have you been accepted to schools academically? Do any of those schools have options for non BFA students to take voice, dance or acting classes? A BFA does not provide a ticket to paid work, although it helps.

The competition for BFA slots is intense. And for families who can afford audition coaches, multiple trips to NYC for practice audition days, review sessions with faculty from college programs, professional photo touch-ups, etc the whole process can result in more options - even just having the $ to afford more application and audition fees and trips to multiple locations for unifieds.

Also, look at opportunities to get involved in community theater wherever you go to college to gain more experience. There is also the option of starting school and applying to BFA programs as a transfer.

Good luck!!
