Ithaca has prescreen requirements for both the Acting and MT majors. When my S applied 2 years ago – the first year Ithaca had a prescreen – several friends who had applied for MT did not pass the MT prescreen but were invited to audition for Acting, and I recall seeing similar posts about last year’s applicants. Not sure, though, if a student can apply to both Acting AND MT, in which case you could use the same monologues for each one and then add your singing and dance prescreen videos for MT, or if there’s a box to check off somewhere on the MT application that says you’d like to be considered for both. I also know of several students in the last 2 years who passed the MT prescreen and auditioned for MT, but were accepted for Acting instead.
