<p>I am looking at the handy dandy spreadsheet of the schools that D is looking at, which are mostly in state (Texas) public schools, a few private Texas schools, and Oklahoma (you know which ones! Public and private)</p>
<p>Unless I missed something, none of the schools I have listed offer an auditioned BA program. There are auditioned BFA’s, and there are also non auditioned BFA’s, and non auditioned BA’s. (all of the non audition for admittance schools do audition for scholarships though).</p>
<p>soozievt, Should we try to find an auditioned BA program also or is she covered with what she has found? She has both MT’s and regular acting programs on her list, because some really great schools with excellent drama departments just don’t have MT but are still worth consideration, and have good music and dance available and do put on musicals. One of those would be a fine choice for her too.</p>
<p>There is some thought that she might be somewhat more of a BA than a BFA kid, though it’s becoming more and more obvious that every school’s BA or BFA program differs widely and you really have to just analyze each one individually. But if she were lucky enough to get into one of her top choice MT programs at a school she loved, it was affordable for us, and it was a BFA, those factors would outweigh her slight leaning towards BA. She’s ready to fall in love with whoever accepts her and we are only applying to schools we are sure she’d like, so I’m not terribly worried about the BA or BFA thing, but your mentioning it made it occur to me that we don’t happen to have one of those on our list!</p>
