Do I have a chance at all at these schools??

Many Acting BFAs do include quite a bit of directing courses, and several of my D’s fellow students are studying writing as well. It depends on the school.

I will say that my D has had very little time to pursue music because of the BFA. Her evening commitments for tech and rehearsals have pretty much dinged being in the choir, the jazz band or anything else. She does take private voice lessons, but she’s having a hard time fitting in even a non-credit dance class. That is a big consideration, and if you do want that freedom, you really should think twice about at BFA.

I don’t think you’ve told us your entire BA list - you should probably have 4-5, with a spread of selectivity, if you do think you’ll end up taking that route. My D did, and considered several excellent BAs until the very end.
