Coastal Carolina University is a program that can be considered less competitive in terms of numbers of students auditioning. This is a post from Ken Martin, the department chair at CCU, from December 2014.
We look for a class of 12-16 in Musical Theatre (tending toward the lower number.) The same is true of Acting. Physical Theatre takes only 8 at max. We will see about 900 in pre-screens, and about 110 on campus, 40 in Chicago (that have been screened) and another 25 in Dallas (that have been screened prior.) Some of those numbers are inflated by the mass auditions we attend. If we see 300 at an audition, only a handful of those are really interested in CCU. Overall, we see about 400 that really want to come to CCU. That help?
