<p>Yes, there seemed to be a HUGE number of voice applicants. I wish we knew how many they are taking. I know the program is large, but I don’t know the exact numbers. I also don’t know how they deal with the BA or BM option–do they let some people in for BA, others in for BM–I don’t know. Still, all the students we talked to (they were freshman) felt they got plenty of individual attention from faculty. In all cases faculty have been approachable, communicative and supportive. So large may not be bad at all. Also, the opera program (by separate audition in the fall) is quite small, maybe 20 to 30 at the most, mostly sophomores and above.</p>
