<p>I strongly encourage all students and parents reading here to look at NOT just the lists above (school names and numbers) but to read ALL of what has been said in this thread. Soozie, mtdog, Emsdad and others all give great explanations of all of the MANY factors that make these lists so complex - aka these people weren’t all MT majors from the schools (in fact MANY were not), most professionals define success as working ACROSS genres (film, TV, straight plays, musicals), etc. I encourage this b/c I see so many students fixated on “these schools get me into a Bway musical” and there is always so much more to the story (as they say in that pretty song cut from Shrek 
)</p>
