Applying to both BFA in Acting and Musical Theater?

Hi! From what I understand you need to apply separately to both musical theater and acting programs? However, is it true that you can audition for just musical theater and they can accept you into the acting or ask if you are interested?

Can you audition for both programs at Unifieds?

And lastly, is it wise to apply to BA program (no audition) early or wait to see if you do not get accepted into BFA?
