<p>Thanks, Sparkycircuit, getting an insider’s perspective definitely helps!</p>
<p>Also thanks for the advice, KatMT. So far I haven’t been really impressed by the in-state schools, but I definitely have to keep them in mind. I know schools like VCU are inherently good, but I haven’t really heard a lot of success stories coming from them.</p>
<p>More about me! I’m a senior at a public school in Virginia. Most of my theater experience is from amateur high school shows. I’m pretty strong academically, with a 4.0 GPA and 1800 score on my SAT. My passion is acting, and I’m looking to audition for a BFA in performance. I’m already looking for and working on monologues to audition for schools in the spring, but need to narrow down my options. I’m really looking for a more urban environment because I feel there will be more immediate job opportunities in resident theaters. Going to school in a city might also set up important connections with people in surrounding theaters.
This is what I love and want to pursue, but I’m worried because of my lack of experience and resources which would help me get accepted into a good program.</p>
<p>Which is why I’m here. :)</p>
