<p>I have been accepted to AMDA with a huge scholarship. I toured the campus and was not impressed. I was getting a little scared that it was just like the previous college I attended (I’ll just say a school in Chicago). The day of the audition I got a completely different feel for the school. It was very profession and it made a much better impression.</p>
<p>I too had/have my doubts about this school, I have heard so many bad things from people, like “don’t go there, if you can avoid it” so I asked what they think is so “bad” about this program. They said it’s because you don’t get anything on your resume. Which I understand, but if you think like a casting director, the casting director isn’t going to take someone who is less talented but has a bigger resume than someone who is more talented and has a smaller resume.<br>
This business is a lot about connections. My cousin (who works in the industry) has talked to his friends who are working in musical theater and they all say it’s a good program for people who are very dedicated. They did say that it’s not such a good program for people right out of high school because it’s so strick. </p>
<p>Most musical theatre schools are going to teach their students how to audition well. That’s really all that matters.</p>
<p>FYI-I looked through my showbill programs which I probably have about 20
