BFA Acting Class of 2025: preparation, prescreens, auditions, questions and support

Thank you for the info!

Looking for info regarding Belmont Theatre and Performance. My D submitted her materials 2/18 so I know we should hear soon but she has not been contacted for an interview, so that tells me she shouldn’t be expecting to get accepted. Anyone out there apply to this program and get in? Did you have an interview or not? Thanks so much for your help.

BOCO Cont. Theatre is end of March.

Belmont gives their acceptances through USPS and it is a thin white envelope.

Got a YES from Pace in the portal. No phone call (that was kind of a mess Friday) but I think D might have clicked NO to phone calls on her application because she didn’t want to be hounded. I’m so happy for her to get this good news, but I’m very concerned over the Where We Stand videos about racism in the MT department there. We will be doing a lot of research about what this means in the acting program.

Hi everyone! I got waitlisted at Fordham (I assume academically because the letter didn’t mention theatre) but haven’t received any news yet from the Theatre Dept. Anybody know what the protocol is here?

Thank you - I am just wondering if everyone got an interview though. We’ve never been contacted.

Has anyone still not heard from Chapman? Or should we start to be concerned/think about sending them an email

Hi all! Just wondering about SUNY Purchase BFA Acting… There seem to be a few acceptances here on this board, but D’s portal remains unchanged either way…

Hi all, not sure if there is a post regarding which schools plan to be open in the fall for in person. We’re on the West and just had the college admissions at one of the schools she got into send a message that their goal is to have 20-30% live classes in the fall of 2021. My DD replied, “Does that mean 70-80% of your classes in the fall you plan to have online?” They replied yes. That bar feels really low with the whole US able to be vaccinated by summer. I feel that we will be choosing schools with excellent programs along with a strong plan for in person in the fall.

We are also still waiting on Purchase BFA Acting. No calls, emails or portal changes.

Re: Plan for the fall. D is at NYU and parents received an update for fall plans from NYU’s president yesterday. He said the faculty has been informed to be prepared to teach in person next year. They are still working out space issues, but that’s NYU’s plan as of today. That being said, the plan was to be hybrid this semester, and that is kind of the case. D goes to her studio classes every other week (usually just her and one other) and they are instructed virtually with a TA present. And, the space is not in her usual studio. It’s not an NYU space at all, but a lovely dance studio downtown. D is grateful to have a change of space every other week. She hopes the plan holds for the fall. Strange times.

Hello! I received my Fordham acting acceptance on the 27th of Feb. I’m not too sure how they are going about it. In my acceptance letter was where the acting acceptance was mentioned followed by emails from the Theatre Dept. Hope that’s helpful!

thanks so much! I emailed my admissions officer for clarification just in case

Does anybody know if Boston University acting actually admits people that they said they don’t need to call back, or should that be assumed to be a rejection? I know someone who had heard back about their prescreen and they said that BU said they saw all they needed to see, didn’t know if that should be considered a rejection because they worded it differently than almost every other prescreen notice I’ve seen (but also they said on the website they consider the prescreen as part of the artistic review.)

Hi , first post here. I’m really just a lurker.
But wanted to share my D just got accepted to Point Park. Just in case anyone else is waiting.

My S got an email saying that they were unable to offer him a live audition, we assumed that was a no even though the application said that they may have seen all they needed to. The email was pretty firmly written. Guess we will know for sure soon!

Congratulations to your daughter! Did she hear from Point Park through an e-mail?

Thank you ! Yes, an email. She was admitted to the honors program but no scholarship amount was listed. I guess the scholarship amount will be in the letter.
