Hunter College has many respectable graduates. For that matter, so does AMDA. Your choice should come down to the day-to-day experience that you want, how you will spend your time, the curriculum, etc. That is a personal choice (once you get your acceptances). I am very glad to hear that you have some good non-auditioned options. I, too, am a little confused about what you might like more about BAs over BFAs. Talk that out with us here, if you’d like. You can get a lot of good advice and more school suggestions.

I do have a problem with the expression “acing” an audition. An audition is much more subtle and complex than a test; there is no generalized scale that auditors use in evaluating if they want you in their program. Your friend could have fit a type they were looking for, or may or may not have appealed to them in any number of ways. Yes, prepare your auditions the best that you can, but do not second-guess what you could do to have better results. There are just too many variables.

Good luck!
