My D’s wishlist was:
East Coast (but she made one exception to apply to UNCSA)
In or near a city
Conservatory-style program (i.e. intense rigorous acting training as many hours a week as possible, and minimal academics)
Strong Shakespeare training (with a semester in London if possible)
Strong movement training (that was always her weak spot, and all her acting teachers told her to seek out movement training in a BFA program)
