<p>As others have said, no auditioned program should be considered a safety. VCU is among the schools for which my D is auditioning and we were there this past Friday. We were told they were auditioning 250+ this year and would be accepting 36 into the program. In addition, the performance students are required to do another audition at the end of their sophomore year for admittance into the BFA program.</p>
<p>With that said, we were impressed with their program, facilities and faculty. I am surprised that we don’t hear more about VCU on this forum.</p>
