I don’t know the basis on which you state that the theatre program “acceptances are less academically focused.” NU does not release separate statistics on the students admitted to this program. Postings on CC and personal knowledge suggests otherwise. There are applicants to the NU theatre program who have been waitlisted or denied while accepted to other highly selective schools such as Yale.

In any case, I don’t think it is a good strategy to apply to a program when your primary passion lies elsewhere, though it’s not clear whether you are looking to major in journalism or RTVF. In either case, even though your stats are on the low side, if NU is your dream school, it is worth giving it another shot.
