I would like to start this thread for all Musical Teater BFA Fall 2025 admissions to share where they are applying, prescreen and audition results.
My son is applying to 20 colleges.
Prescreen results are rolling in
what colleges you heard from?
Michigan Musical Theater early application deadline October 15th. You will then be notified by November 15th if you passed Screening test.
Excited for the journey! We applied to 14 schools for MT. Results so far:
Pre-Screens passed:
Emerson
Rider
Pace
Elon
Point Park (academically accepted)
Rejected:
Penn State
Auditions scheduled no pre-screen:
Baldwin Wallace
NYU
Montclair (academically accepted)
Marymount
Still waiting to hear:
CCM
Ithaca
UMich
Syracuse
Great results so far! Would be good to balance your list with some schools that have a higher chance of acceptance.
Anyone got pre-screen results from Michigan?
So far my daughter has these scheduled auditions (either passed the prescreen for these schools or didn’t need one):

Anyone knows what the earliest Michigan will notify prescreen results for Musical theater applicants based on previous years?
It will be right around the date they gave in November-
Thank you khrmail.

when did you apply to Michigan?
We applied the 1st week of August to all of the schools. We submitted pre-screens as soon as we received student ID #s, which was from the 3rd week of August through Sept 3rd.
How did you apply August 1st? The applications were open to fill out and submit on August 1st?
Applied August 6-8th via Common App to all of her schools. Yes, if I remember correctly, you can submit starting August 1st.
Any idea the top schools like Michigan CMU NYU CCM how many applicants they actually invite for Audition?
Hi!
I submitted my prescreens on Oct. 28th to these schools and am currently waiting to hear back about them.
(Applying as a white soprano with a legit range and a high mix, and some acting/dancing training)
Please update on this thread if you hear back from any of these schools for prescreens
