CMU Pre-college Questions

<p>So I have a bunch of random questions about the Carnegie Mellon Pre-college program for music theater.</p>

<p>Here's an honest run down of me: I'm an overweight, shy, 18 year old, female, senior from Cali who's about to finish high school for the next few months. I have always, and still have an interest in music and may consider taking a musician route in life. But I am also looking at different professions. I have had always an interest in music theater and for the first time actually considering it as a profession in my life. The most performance I have done is honestly just silly little plays when I was kid for my family and I auditioned for a musical a while back. I don't really have dancing or acting experience, and my singing experience is just me singing all the time (granted I think I have a decent voice). I am of course willing though to take any classes for acting, dancing, singing, etc. because I have a strong pull and connection to musical theater and feel like this might be my path in life.
Well time for the question part:</p>

<p>Is the CMU pre-college program for all levels of experience (even beginner) if someone has commitment and passion in it? </p>

<p>Can someone describe all the details of what goes on in the experience of the pre-college program? Like an average day, week, whatever.</p>

<p>If you apply and get accepted to the program can you decide not to go if you don't feel up to going anymore?</p>

<p>Any other programs people can suggest or describe for me?</p>

<p>Any other advice can someone give on a path to becoming a musical theater performer, for a scared beginner?</p>

<p>If you have questions for me, please feel free to ask :]</p>
