<p>I have an audition for AMDA in New York City in January 2011. Does anyone know what I can expect?! Also, what are my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Depending on your area of concentration, straight theater or musical theater, there are discipline specific forums with the appropriate level of program knowledge and expertise here [Theater/Drama</a> Majors - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/theater-drama-majors/]Theater/Drama”>Theater/Drama Majors - College Confidential Forums) and here [Musical</a> Theater Major - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/musical-theater-major/]Musical”>Musical Theater Major - College Confidential Forums).</p>
<p>I know there are specific prior AMDA threads in the MT forum. </p>
<p>Any audition based/audition centric admissions process is a crapshoot. There are far too many variables to begin to assess chances of success. Having valid professional level assessment of your current skills, talent and potential are the keys in knowing if you are competitive within any audition pool.</p>
<p>I recently applied to AMDA (the American musical and dramatic academy) in NYC. I have a GPA of 2.2 in high school and a 1.5 in college after 2 semesters. (I only took 3 classes and after this semester it will be a 3.0). I know they’re not high but i wrote in my essays how I have learned and become a better student. I have lots of stage experience and acting experience and I feel like my audition went well. And i pointed out multiple times that I am determined to work hard in school. I was wondering what my chances of being accepted are! I’m so nervous!</p>
