If you’re trying to narrow down your list in MT, then I would strongly advise having a couple of programs that do not require auditions.

Some other schools that have gotten various mentions for the opportunities for people to study MT without an audition include Muhlenberg, Drew, St. Olaf, Luther, and U. of Iowa.
