It does happen, yes, but I don’t know how often. It’s scary, for sure. I agree with everyone here–this is why it’s so important to have safeties. Besides picking yourself up and going to a BA program either in theatre or not, another option if you don’t get in anywhere is to take a gap year. This is much more common the UK, where it is not uncommon for people to audition 2 or even 3 years in a row for an acting program. I know of one young woman here in the US who didn’t get in anywhere at all last year, and decided to take a gap year, take acting classes, work–and hire a good coach. She got in early admission to Emerson.
