If you're a drama major, did you do summer programs?

BU also never alluded to the fact that you will have an easier time getting into their BFA program by going to BUSTI. As a matter of fact, they said time and time again that the odds are tough to beat. They work the kids like crazy - and it surely gives them a taste of what the BU program is about. If you want to get in, that’s the intensity that they want and yo need to show them that.

Also - and this sounds GROSS so I apologize profusely ahead of time - I don’t mean to imply that my son got into BU simply because he did BUSTI, he got in because he is awesome! LOL! Said by the mom, of course, but he was told throughout the summer and after his audition, that he is exactly what they wanted. So did he get a leg up? In my opinion, yes, just because they got to see him and interact with him long enough to know those things.

Again, totally gross for me to say that about my own kid, but I don’t want to imply that he got into BU just because he went to BUSTI. But I believe it helped overall.
