<p>“She would absolutely be a candidate for an MFA theatre program with a different major”</p>
<p>This is reassuring to hear! We thought that she would need a BA or BFA in Theater in order to gain acceptance into an MFA program. I still worry that she would be at a disadvantage when auditioning, but we’ll have to see if they will let her take as many acting classes as she wants. We also need to see if there are any student run productions that she could participate in.</p>
<p>We are behind in our research of U of A, as it was my daughter’s absolute LAST choice of college. Imagine her disappointment right now when she realizes that she may have no other choice

<p>The cut program idea is scary, but that isn’t the main reason. Many of her former classmates at high school (those ahead of her) went into the program and were cut for what they felt were odd reasons (not “getting” a character). It makes an already stressful schedule of courses/rehearsal all the more stressful.</p>
