<p>Theatergirl123, it’s great that you are planning ahead. But one thing you should know is that it is that the BFA programs at the schools you listed as being on your list are just as selective/hard to get into as are the BFA programs at Syracuse and Ithaca. </p>
<p>One thing that your list absolutely needs (and not just you: every single kid auditioning should have this) is at least one non-audition safety school that you would be happy to attend. Again, this should be a school that is a good match for you academically and which has a good theater program that is non audition.</p>
