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

Well I think what a lot of people on this forum would tell you is that as far as the auditioned based programs are concerned, your audition has to be very good. There’s a lot of really helpful people on this forum that can give you loads of info but when auditions are a part of the admissions decision, it’s really hard for anyone to give a very thorough and accurate opinion.
I’ve heard (but I could be very wrong with this) that UCLA would consider people who aren’t as competitive in terms of academics but who absolutely ace their audition. In fact that’s probably true with a lot of BFA/BA auditioned programs.

From your list, the only one I’ve heard that gives academics as much attention as auditions when considering admissions is NYU.

As far as stats go, I think you’d be fine with Pace and MMC and maybe even Chapman and LMU but I’ve also heard that their BFA programs are highly selective. On the other hand, I’ve heard that Adelphi’s BFA is not quite as selective as others but I have no clue how selective the school is as far as academics go.

But honestly though, all of this information has come from what I’ve heard others say on this forum. There are definitely a few parents with kids going to NYU and Adelphi and I recall a few current students of MMC and Chapman posting on this forum in the past so hopefully some of these people will be able to give you better info than I have.

Best of Luck! :)
