How friendly are Theatre/Acting BA's/BFA's to beginners and those out of practice?

<p>Thank you Gwen. That is really reassuring to hear. </p>

<p>Do you guys think the audition/interview, generally, is the only important aspect of admittance to a BFA? Or do schools look at the whole academic picture (GPA, SAT, completion of units/etc) even for fine arts emphases? I’ve heard from several people now that CalArts only cares about the audition process/actor’s statements and that’s that, which makes me wonder if that’s true for other BFA’s out there. I guess I need to ask the schools that question :)</p>
