<p>I agree with the posts above. Don’t limit yourself to BA programs, research both. My D is at Roosevelt/CCPA in Chicago. They have a BFA acting, BFA MT Voice Emphasis and BFA MT Dance Emphasis which means they accept around 3x as many students as some of the other programs. They also guarantee casting. They are not one of the “biggies” so tend to be “less competitive” to get in to than some of the other schools. The class sizes are still very small (10-15 kids) and the personal attention from everyone, department heads, voice teachers, tech professors, office staff has just blown us away!</p>
<p>My D loves Chicago, loves her classmates and loves her program. It is a great fit for her.
These schools are looking for potential, raw talent, great attitudes, good people. Their job is to train you!</p>
