You cannot audition into the BFA program until you have completed at least one quarter of MT 3. You must audition into MT 2 and then MT 3…they hold auditions fall and winter quarter. They do take a very limited number of students into the BFA…you can continue to audition each quarter. They just finished the fall round of auditions…no sophomore girls were moved into MT 3, 1 sophomore boy was, 9 other students (juniors and seniors) were moved into MT 3—NO sophomores were moved into the BFA at this audition. That will probably not happen until winter or spring at the earliest but more likely fall of junior year. Not sure if any juniors or seniors students were moved into the BFA program in this round of auditions. It is extremely competitive and they try to keep it to 8 students total…it is not always even split between men and women. They appear to keep auditioning people and moving them into BFA at different times. Sometimes they move in as sophomores (usually just the men) most often middle of junior year. The process appears to be continually evolving.
