Applying for MFA Acting programs

<p>Hi guys-- I'm currently a senior looking forward to spring 2015 when I will be applying for MFA acting programs. My GPA is a 3.0. I have the acting experience with a couple professional works, outside of the work I've done at my university (UNT). This past spring both of my friends were undergrads and both were able to get in MFA programs right out of undergrad. So why it people say, "You should wait, you should wait, don't apply right away." Why should I wait? There's living testament of 6 of my friends who got into MFA programs straight out of undergrad. schools such as, Depaul, New School, NYU, Scotland conservatory, and Pace Acting studio. </p>

<p>Should I wait a year? Should I apply right away? Or should I just ignore MFA programs and choose a different path? I know it's going to come down to my decision. I would just like to hear some stories of my fellow actors processes if you guys don't mind sharing. :)</p>

<p>I would post this question under Theater/Drama Majors in the College Majors section.</p>
