@zippy1616 I highly doubt BOCO is a 30% acceptance rate, they admit about 56 students into the MT program, in order to achieve a 30% acceptance rate they would have to have less than 200 apply. Most of the big programs have 400 or more, some like Carnegie Mellon greater than 700 apply(could be more) . Now out of that 700 not all audition, I’ve heard numbers anywhere from 300 to 400 audition at some of the more popular programs. If you use those numbers if 400 kids audition for 12 spots at Carnegie you have a 3% acceptance rate. Now if you assume for other programs that they also audition 400 kids for say 20 spots which it seems other schools seem to admit 10 to 20. Then you would have a 14% acceptance rate.
