<p>Oh no, I agree with you completely. But from what I’ve heard, they are making some changes at the fundamental level to even make their program better (such as adding a callback week for auditioning students, and some changes to the curriculum/casting of productions). Mason Gross is in fact one of the top schools in the country, but I would categorize them as up and coming, because I think in the next few years they will be more so compared to the likes of Juilliard or Carnegie Mellon.<br>
Fordham accepts roughly 20-30 BA Acting students a year, so it is of the likes of many other BFA programs in terms of that. Much of the good Fordham has done has been in the past 3/4 years, that’s why I put them on that list, if a student is willing to have the academic portion as well.</p>
