<p>Coach C is right in that this happens quite frequently at CMU. A few girls and guys who were accepted as actors re-auditioned for the MT program this year and 2 girls were moved to the MT program. They are absolutely fabulous and it’s hard to believe that they weren’t offered MT admission to begin with…but there just aren’t enough spots. So many of CMU’s actors are students who auditioned MT! Most of the curriculum is the same with the exception of the dance and voice classes but some of the actors opt for private voice. There is a guy in A Chorus Line now on Broadway from CMU who was an actor but he is obviously quite a talented dancer and singer so the definitely overlap a lot at CMU!</p>
<p>Syracuse and Ithaca also asked at the audition if you would consider acting if not offered MT. Elon used to offer a BA in Theater Studies or Acting (I believe) to some but I am not sure if they do that any longer. Otterbein also considers you for a few different areas when you apply MT. </p>
<p>Good luck to you! :)</p>
