MT major in high school, will this matter in college?

I go to an arts magnet school and I’m a musical theatre major. Our department head chooses most of our electives for us but last year was my first year at the school so he didn’t pick mine that year. I had no acting classes but I did have a MT class. Next year my only acting class is Directing, but I have MT (required), music theory, and I’m a member of my school’s MT repertory ensemble. I’m going to try to get him to let me out of taking music theory to take Voice & Diction or Movement but I don’t want to leave the ensemble. Will my MT heavy course load lead colleges to pigeonhole me as a MT kid who can’t act? I’m a senior and it’s too late for me to change majors.
