JustConfused,

What is your training/background in musical theatre? As you know from your research (and I applaud you for taking the time to look at the options!) there are 2 admission points – academic and artistic (for auditioned programs). As you study the schools that do admit transfer students, also take a look at their audition requirements. Thinking about/preparing your audition materials can be another concrete step you take toward this adventure.

Have you contacted any of the schools you are interested in to see their policies regarding transfer GPA requirements versus audition? What are your current criteria for choosing schools, besides an MT BFA that accepts transfers? (That’s a great place to start!!!) Are you planning to audition this year, or is this an information-gathering, preparing year?

Lots of questions, I know…but you are doing such a good job of trying to figure out how best to go about this. Keep searching/thinking/preparing and asking questions!
