My d is auditioning in March. I was wondering if anyone knew the acceptance rate into the MT program. Anything helpful!
Our D got in and they auditioned 650 took 32 last year. Great program.
@152398 They took 32 straight musical theatre students, or is it a combination of students?
I do not know about last year’s freshman class but this year’s graduating MT class has 27. A typical MT class (grade) at OCU is between 25-35 but varies year to year depending on the applicant pool and yield. I think they usually audition around 700 applicants but that number also varies year to year. They also extend offers for the BFA Acting and VP programs to some talented kids for whom they do not have a spot in the MT program, so there are often times someone indicates they were accepted to OCU, but may not have been for the MT program. The BFA and VP programs are both excellent by the way, both recently producing leads in national tours, ( Alex Enterline, nice work if you can get it and Katie Postotnik in Ghost were both BFA acting majors and Eryn LeCroy was recently Emma Carew in the National Tour of Jekyll & Hyde and she was a VP major). so if you are offered a spot in any of these programs they are definitely worth considering.
