Anyone looking into these schools...?

College Majors Theater/Drama Majors

<p>Hey! So I am looking to add to my list of BFA Acting programs and wanted to see thoughts on the following programs:
Cincinnati (CCM)--
Drama</a>, University of Cincinnati
Michigan --<a href="http://www.music.umich.edu/departments/theatre/programs/bfa_performance.htm"&gt;http://www.music.umich.edu/departments/theatre/programs/bfa_performance.htm&lt;/a>
Minnesota/Guthrie --<a href="http://www.guthrietheater.org/guthrie_opportunities/artist_opportunities/bfa_actor_training"&gt;http://www.guthrietheater.org/guthrie_opportunities/artist_opportunities/bfa_actor_training&lt;/a>
Webster --<a href="http://explore.webster.edu/admissions/undergraduate/academicPrograms/regt.asp"&gt;http://explore.webster.edu/admissions/undergraduate/academicPrograms/regt.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I am really only looking to add 2 more, but all programs seem great based off their websites and are all similarly priced. I am looking for a small, competitive BFA preferably in the midwest (as you can see by the options). I am already applying to:
Roosevelt, Indiana U, Florida State, Otterbein, Depaul, Rutgers, and Columbia College (safety).
I know all 4 programs I'm looking at adding are good programs, so it's hard to only pick two. I'd love to hear thoughts on which I should add... which of those 4 are the most/least competitive, reputations, accounts -- basically the stuff you can't see online.
Thanks!!</p>

<p>Look into Northern Illinois University. It’s about an hour from Chicago and has a competitive BFA Acting program (they are also part of Unifieds). A semester of their junior year is spent in Russia studying with the Moscow Arts Theatre. The cost is extremely reasonable too. My daughter will be a freshman in a couple of weeks. She had also applied to Rutgers, Penn State, and Florida State and auditioned for Ohio Northern, and Long Island University. Northern Illinois has been her top choice from the get go. Kathryn Gately is the master acting teacher. Look her up on youtube- she has trained many famous/award winning actors. The school and program definitely fit into your criteria. Good luck!</p>

<p>I’ve heard great things about Evansville, although my son did not look at it.</p>

<p>I’m applying to both Cincinnati and Minnesota, they’re great programs! I have 2 friends at Cinci and 4 at Minn, and they’re all extremely talented and only say fantastic things about the programs!
Don’t know much about Webster or Evansville, but NIU does have an excellent program, just not very well known. It is a fairly inexpensive school too, so I’d say give it a shot!</p>
