<p>Not to pooh-pooh Fordham’s program by any means, my S is VERY happy there. But he is also an MT kid at heart and he would LOVE it if they did just one musical even every few years…and they don’t. He will be taking “Song As Theatre” next semester with Alison Fraser and he is very excited about it but this is the first time he will have worked on his voice and it will be his 4th semester. And as for dance, the Alvin Ailey school is tops but not easy to fit their classes into a Theatre major’s schedule ESPECIALLY with a double major or minor. I have to be honest here, my S thought going in that he might be able to “create” his own MT program but he just doesn’t have the time. </p>
<p>Fordham LC is a small school, the full pay price tag is $55k without a meal plan, and the average GPA is 3.7. I am just not sure it’s a very good fit for your D.</p>
<p>I agree with other recommendations though especially Hofstra which does not audition incoming freshman for acceptance to the school or Drama program (yes, auditions come later as soozievt said in an earlier post) but you CAN audition for a talent grant. Good luck! :)</p>
