<p>You are so certain you will be rejected from Evansville that I am tempted to bet money that you will instead get ACCEPTED into that one!!!</p>
<p>You have only posted twice to CC, so I really don’t feel like I know very much about you.</p>
<p>I don’t know how far you are getting in these audition processes. In other words, I don’t know whether you are getting callbacks. If you are not getting any callbacks, I would guess that perhaps you do need to work on your auditioning skills.</p>
<p>The people who are getting admitted to these programs have worked very hard on their auditions, and worked with good quality audition coaches. Have you been working with an audition coach? In your other CC post you mention “acting teachers”. But it sounds like they may have been giving you bad advice about choosing your monologues and song, so perhaps you should find a different audition coach. (Personally, I would NOT recommend that auditioners choose Neil Labute, West Side Story OR William Shakespeare!).</p>
<p>It’s also not clear from your other post, but are you certain you are following all the instructions from the schools you are auditioning for?</p>
<p>If you REALLY want to get into these schools that are rejecting you, what you will do now is take a semester or a year (or more!) and really work on your audition skills (and acting skills), so that in the next round of auditions your audition will be up to the standard they are looking for. I am sure that if you really want this you will be able to do it.</p>
<p>But you might want to also look at different career paths that actors follow. There are many succesful actors who do not have any degree at all. I’m just suggesting that you become aware of the MANY different options available, and pick the one that is best for you (which may mean a degree for you, I obviously wouldn’t be able to decide for you)</p>

<p>I agree with milkshakespeare that talent is not a gift. Acting skills are just like any other skills in that just about anyone can master them if they are willing to work hard.</p>
