Acceptance Rates at Musical Theatre BFA Programs - A Query

From time to time, I’ve noticed that people have posted acceptance rates for many of the top musical theatre BFA programs. Is there data someone has for any recent year? (The most recent I’ve found is 2008) Also, is there a source where I can find these numbers myself? Thank you so much in advance!

Here are a couple of posts were I estimated the overall acceptance rates at the top 50 or so programs:

I think this may be most recent thread with body counts:

These threads may of interest as well:

Maybe we should start a more recent list. I know it’s a bit different at Point Park now that students can enter the BFA MT program as freshmen (they used to all enter as BA students and audition for the BFA in sophomore year, I believe.) We were told they auditioned over 1,000 students for the BFA MT program and the class of 2020 has 26 members, 14 girls and 12 boys.

I’m guessing the numbers would change at least slightly every year.

I suspect the number auditioning climbs a bit each year. I know it’s changed a lot in the past five years.

At auditions we tell people 1 in 10.

Remember though that, while some schools admit the specific number of students they want then pull from the waitlist one by one, other schools admit a larger number knowing that not all will attend and that larger number will net them the class number they want in the end.

^so true and people forget that a lot!
