Accepted at Wagner, Muhlenberg and Rider for Musical Theater.

Which program best prepares one for MT?

You might try asking the MT forum. I would guess Rider, but I don’t really know MT that well.

Those are all good programs. Whether one prepares you “best” will be completely up to the intangibles of how well the school fits for you. Have you talked to professors (not just for the audition itself, but taken a visit to talk to them outside that pressure cooker)? And remember, you’ll hopefully be spending 4 years of your life at the campus you choose. If you haven’t already done so, I would strongly suggest taking time to visit as an accepted student and get a feel for the place and the people.
