<p>I live in Pittsburgh. I see lots of shows at CMU and Point Park. Both schools have a lot of typical good looking MTs and actors. PPU has more variety and frankly that isn’t a bad thing. Carnegie Mellon definitely goes for a look to go along with the high degree of talent. Not all gorgeous, I’d say “easy to look at” might be a better description. Obviously all very talented, hard working and hireable too. They have that luxury because of their well-earned reputation. They cultivate it. Josh Gad is the exception at CMU, not the norm, and I’d bet a dozen donuts he’s put on a good amount of weight since his college days. I definitely see more like him in the Point Park shows. Also, CMU will pass on a very talented, hard working and potentially hireable student if they have too many of his or her type already. They always seem to have a balance there. That’s the way they do it and it seems to work out pretty well for them. It’s also the way the business is to the tenth power, so the sooner aspiring actors, singers and dancers get used to it, I suppose, the better.</p>
