Did you post this on the Musical Theatre Major forum as well? Particularly the NYU Musical Theatre Major sub forum. There may also be a Webster sub forum over there.

All of the schools are VERY different in terms of training, academics, size, and location.

It is my understanding that it can be possible to take voice lessons (possibly through Steinhardt) at NYU… not sure how difficult it is to register for these. However, in NYC you would have access to high level private voice instruction and dance classes outside of NYU as well.

You were admitted for BFA Musical Theatre at Webster? St. Louis is a nice small city with strong theatre.

It sounds like (based upon your reluctance to be in Meisner at Tisch) you may feel the same about VP at Berklee? Not sure how much theatre you will find in your degree program there.

AMDA does offer a BFA, but the structure of the program is very much a two year conservatory model.

No opinions on “better” or “worse” … you just have to think through all of your options in relationship to what you want out of a program.
