<p>Your list looks a lot like our list looked last year. My daughter applied to 14 audition BFA programs – Juilliard, NYU, Rutgers, UNCSA, Purchase, BU, U of Arts, CCM, CMU, Otterbein, Depaul, Hartt, Ithaca and Syracuse. </p>
<p>Any audition school is selective but I don’t think Point Park is as selective as some of the high end selective schools. I think its probably around where U of Arts is in terms of selectivity. I think Hartt is slightly more selective than U of Arts but again this is all very hard to say based on anything but anecdotal evidence. For what it is worth, my daughter ended up getting into UNCSA, NYU, U of Arts and Hartt and was wait listed at Syracuse. Unfortunately, a lot of this is just a crapshoot.</p>
<p>Other East Coast schools you might consider are Pace and Marymount. We had heard a lot of good things about Marymount from a teaching standpoint but did not apply because of some concerns raised on this board about performance opportunities. A couple of the CC Moms from last year have kids going there and they are very positive about the program.</p>
