<p>Hi nire300,</p>
<p>Last year I actually transferred from a BA program into a BFA acting conservatory, so if you have any questions about the transfer process please feel free to ask me either here or in private message. Basically, if you wish to transfer into an acting program you will most likely have to start over again as a freshman. This is what it is like at the schools complex life has listed.</p>
<p>There are a few exceptions however, UArts states that if you have a very strong audition they might just allow you into their sophomore class. And UMiami will start you over as a freshman but will allow you to audition your shows your first year, which first time freshman are not allowed to do. Also BU takes transfer students into sophomore year and if you take a certain path you could finish it in 3 years.</p>
<p>My biggest piece of advice about being a transfer student is to not be afraid of the process, and do not worry about the fact that you are a transfer student. A lot of the top conservatories actually really enjoy accepting transfer students. Such as in my conservatory, out of the 28 freshman, 4 of us are transfers, and the other 3 besides me had already completed 2 years of school at other colleges. One of them was even a business major, haha.</p>
<p>So yeah that’s the run down, but do your research about where you want to go, and be prepared to most likely start over again if this is what you really want to do.</p>
