<p>I have family friends that think 3 years at a prep is ideal. they say 4 is too much and 2 not enough. what do you guys think? Supposedly they were all originally 3 year schools.</p>
<p>J, Juilliard is a fantastic school, and the Alexander technique (which is taught there) is very good.</p>
<p>Its benefits include working with extremely talented other actors and teachers, in a great curriculum. You can go anywhere from it, to more advanced school or into professional life.</p>
<p>But. It's curriculm is very limited. So, when you graduate from Juliard, you really HAVE to make it, because you have no experience in anything else that could get you hired. Many graduates, expecially from its music program, find themselves selling their instruments to pay the rent, and desperatly looking for any job. So thats scary.</p>
<p>One possibility, that would give you a Julliard education as well as a general one is a new program run by the school. Now you can major in theatre/dance/music at Julliard and take courses at Columbia as well, which educates you and makes you a fantastic artist.</p>
<p>If I can get in, great. But I'd probably say its not my first choice. First is Northwestern/Yale...</p>
<p>nm. i dont know much except it's for dancing/acting. are you a dancer? I wouldn't have thought it. i pictured you with a hockey mask on 24/7.</p>
<p>lol. just kidding. ur in music right?</p>
<p>Just wondering, in admissions, how much do you think legacy comes into play? Sibling/parent/grandparent legacy... any different? What about more distant relatives like aunts and uncles?</p>
<p>I think alot. all the legacies i know got in where their dad's went. i think it is more imoportant at preps than college.</p>
<p>If you're a legacy, the bar is set a good bit lower. if they liked your sybling, they expect you to be just as good, partially because you were raised by the same parent. i 've talked to a lot of people about this. however, it certaintly doesn't make for an automatic free ride.</p>
<p>approx 168 more hours!!</p>
<p>So does anyone know how Exeter posts their decisions online?</p>
<p>I called and they said that they will only post decisions online (Lion Links) for people who live abroad. I'm going to check anyway!:) I wonder how they post the decision, will it be in "My Application Materials" or a new link altogether. LETTERS HURRY TO MY MAIL BOX!!!!</p>
<p>AHHHHH 1 week left!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I know I'm so excited.</p>
<p>i dont know much about it cause im only an 8th grader, but as far as i know its flippin amazing!! i know as far as college wise northwestern (where my sibling went) has an AWESOME theater program, in my opinion its definatly up there under julliard, if not over</p>
<p>ahhhh wow sorry, i posted on the wrong part, dont know how that happened, lol</p>
<p>ahhh i see, i just responded to the email about the reply, i was talking about julliard above^^^^</p>
<p>I feel your pain!:)</p>
<p>haha thanks</p>
<p>tappingprep, I'm actually a Personal Writer and Engineer type of guy. I also got my high school's music award last year however, I'm not into that kind of thing as much. Any of you Arts guys here: Check out Engineering. It is a fascinating profession, you get to think intuitively and critically about common problems and try to solve them by ANY means possible.</p>
<p>Engineers can do really cool jobs... but they dont get to act. Problem.</p>
<p>Northwestern is the foremost acting school in America, according to the review magazines. I dont know about the rest of the world- the Stanislavsky (I think thats how you spell it) school in Russia is well regarded, so much so that I think the Yale program involves a year spent in Russia, learning.</p>
<p>Everybody remember to post their results on the 'Boarding School Results' thread.</p>
<p>That board doesn't exist yet does it? Just post results here...I would say.</p>
<p>Actually, yea, its does exist. But I'm fine with here too. Theres something aesthetic about us all starting up, excited, getting back from our interviews, travelling all the way through to the end.</p>
<p>Lets all hope its not a bitter end.</p>
