My kids have friends in both of the California schools.

From what I’ve seen getting cut is much worse than not getting the BFA. They only take 8 students but as others have said it’s a winnowing process that is self-selecting much more than you might think. Several students my daughter knows started with that goal but moved into other areas on their own and ultimately decided not to audition. One is more singer than actress and is pursuing music and business classes another hated the constant auditioning and realized that was not the life for her…I could go on. We also know a very talented boy who didn’t get the BFA but moved to NYC and is currently working.

This is to answer the what happens if you don’t get it question. Hope it helps.
