First suggestion, get some experience! Drama, be it screen or theatre, is not for everyone! And if you are in your 1st year of college, you probably have opportunities around you to try it out. If not in school, then in the surrounding community. I’m not sure what school you go to, but take an acting class next semester, and talk to your teacher. Of course experience is not the most important thing, but most schools are looking for students with at least a good foundation.

If you’re adamant, the next thing you would have to decide is whether you want a BA or a BFA, each entail very different experiences and are for very different types of people. It’s great that you have decided to act, but there is a lot of work ahead of you. Acting is not easy, and takes a lot of hard work and late nights… Much like other majors lol… But if this is really what you’ve decided, then as I said, find out the differences between a BFA and a BA (I don’t have the time to type them out). And then get a list of good schools. And you’re in luck, because quite a few are located around NY/LA and Mass.

And btw, your name makes me think this is more of a joke than a serious inquiry…
