<p>Just wanted to add that my D also applied to Temple, which has a great acting program. By ‘top’ BA programs, I didn’t mean only colleges like Northwestern (because academically that’s difficult). I mean colleges that have strong BA programs in acting. Couldn’t you make a case for applying to such programs as well as BFA programs? Even BFA programs are extremely different one from another; in some ways some BFA programs are more similar to certain BA programs than to each other.</p>
