<p>Thank you all so much for all of your replies! They have all been very helpful 
</p>
<p>I am quite worried about the small number of students each school accept into their BFA programs and whilst I am very confident in my acting skills, you never really know what exactly they’re all looking for. I think I will still audition and at the very least try my luck but I’m not too sure what to expect and I’m not going to get my hopes up nor set my heart on a particular school/program. </p>
<p>I really do hope that I’ll be able to minor in English literature in some way. I have a passion for writing and analyzing novels/poems/plays and I don’t want to have to sacrifice it for acting especially since the odds of actually making it as an actor (in terms of it being a real career) are always slim for everyone. I understand that BA’s do incorporate a lot more theory and writing than a BFA acting program, my only problem is that I’ve been doing my Drama GCSE and A-levels for the past four years and it has been a great deal of theory. As a result I now really just want to focus on the acting. I did really well on my Drama GCSE and A-levels, in fact I got the highest grade in the country, and now I really want to work on my acting which is my true passion and thus I’ve decided that a BFA is more suited for me. However, if I can’t minor in English Lit I really don’t know what I’ll do 
</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the number of students that get accepted into these programs is a set number? For instance, does BU know they’ll only accept 20 students or do they decide the number after they’ve seen all the auditions? </p>
<p>Also, does anyone know anything about the Syracuse BFA program? Their course sounds pretty good for what I’m looking for but any extra info would really help! </p>
<p>Finally, I was wondering if anyone knew how many of these schools actually accept video/DVD auditions as opposed to an in-person audition. Given my location it would be very hard (financially) to audition live at all these schools and so I’m hoping some will accept a video. </p>
<p>Thank you for all the help! :D</p>
