<p>I think there are zillions of stories out there with an argument for a BA or BFA…Just like the stories of who gets in where and why. (This one got into schools A and B not C, this one got into B and C and not A…etc.) One key thing to think about is how are you spending the next four years. The one difference very few people can argue is curriculum. Do you see yourself training in the arts and doing very little course work outside of your field or do have interests in other things that you would like to pursue throughout your college experience. Even within the BFA’s and the BA’s schools differ tremendously on course requirements. I have always told my students "if you can see yourself doing anything else…go do it. On the other hand if you have your mind set on spending four years just honing your skills, even at the expense of what other’s see as missing out on something, than a conservatory or conservatory style BFA is where you want to be.</p>
