<p>Hatsuoki, I got in at Chapman with a GPA only marginally higher than yours and will be attending in the fall. They’re also very generous with both merit and institutional aid-- if I hadn’t gotten the scholarship I did from them, I’d be at SUU. </p>
<p>Chapman takes between forty and fifty freshmen into the BA Theater track each year (although there’s no hard cap). Once you’re in, you’ve got the option of staying on with a BA or auditioning into the BFA programs in Theater Performance and Screen Acting. (I go into greater detail on this in the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/chapman-university/1339676-chapman-theatre.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/chapman-university/1339676-chapman-theatre.html</a> thread… just so I’m not thread-jacking here.)</p>
<p>One final thought: Orange is only about 20-40 minutes from Los Angeles, depending on traffic. I’d recommend doing an on-site there too, just so the auditors can meet you and get more of a feel for who you really are. </p>
<p>Many broken legs to you!</p>
