<p>My D is interested in several schools (Ithaca College, Elon) that offer both BFA and BA theater programs. While she understands the BFA acceptance rate is crazy-low (I think I read IC takes 17 from 500 auditions) both schools warn against treating BA programs like "BFA Wannabes" for those wanting theater programs but who didn't make the BFA cut. Anyone out there face this choice? I want to be supportive of my daughter's dreams but I don't want her to miss out on some great schools because she put all her eggs in the BFA basket.</p>
<p>newbie - I suggest checking out the Theatre forum and re-posting there. There has been lots of discussion on this topic.<br>
