Fordham vs. Lewis and Clark

I am very conflicted between going to Fordham University or Lewis and Clark for a number of reasons.


I want to study theatre, and have a guarantee of being a Theatre major at Lewis and Clark. At Fordham I did not audition in, so would be able to audition during Freshman year.
I’ve been told that it’s extremely difficult (almost impossible) to get into the Fordham theatre major during sophomore year. Apparently being a minor is still good, but I really want to be able to participate in a lot of theatre.
I don’t want to get to Fordham and find out that I won’t be able to participate in theatre and that all of the roles are taken by majors—either that or auditioning and not making it in.
I’m not sure how good the Lewis and Clark theatre major really is. I haven’t been able to find much about it online.


As of right now, I’m kind of planning to commit to Fordham, try to audition in and then see what happens. However, not making it into the major worries me, especially if minors cannot participate as much as majors. If anyone knows how difficult it is to audition into the major/how much minors can actually participate, please let me know! I have until Friday to commit to Fordham, and I don’t want to miss an opportunity like this.
