<p>Hi Sarah – I believe that Fordam’s program is competitive. If you are looking for a true “safety” school you will want to add a program that is an academic safety where an audition is not required for admission. </p>
<p>Audition based acceptances are always “fluky.” No auditioned based program can be considered a true back-up. </p>
<p>There is a lot of information on here about non-auditioned programs. You may want to look at the MT forum as well.</p>
