<p>I also think that the relentless focus on Broadway in the rankings misses part of the picture. I noticed in the “Broadway alums” post that both DePaul and CCPA scored pretty low…maybe partly because so many of their kids stay in Chicago and flourish there. I’m guessing that schools like USC and CalArts aren’t Broadway pipelines either, but are excellent if you want to be in movies. Again, no disrespect to the schools that score high, I’m sure they’re great, but it’s a limited metric.</p>
