Ashleygross, it’s all very well to decide that you want to attend an Ivy League university, but they are notoriously selective. An application to any major university, especially Ivy League, will expect top grades in a challenging curriculum, top test scores, strong extracurriculars, and excellent writing skills. Many students with all those attributes do not get admitted to these schools. If you do not have all these qualifications, it is unrealistic even to be thinking about the pros and cons, and your time would be better spent finding a better match.

If you want to attend a school that would give you the most on-stage time, choose a school that does a lot of shows but does not have an acting program filled with possible competitors. If you want to get the best training, you cannot count on having as many mainstage performance opportunities because the competition will be extraordinary.
