Deciding what BFA/BA acting programs to audition for! Help!

College Search & Selection

<p>Hi! I'm a Senior and currently about ready to apply to colleges and get my audition details set. The thing is, I have so many options bouncing around in my head. It's impossible to audition for 10 schools, so I need to narrow down where I'll ACTUALLY apply. </p>

<p>DePaul
Fordham
Marymount Manhattan
Emerson
Syracuse
Pace
Point Park
U of Arts
Chapman
Boston U
Roosevelt
USC</p>

<p>I know I'm definitely applying to DePaul and Roosevelt because I live right outside of Chicago and obviously it's cheaper not to travel. </p>

<p>I haven't visited any of the other places, but my vibe from the websites and religiously reading college guides/books and discussions on here is that I also want to apply to Emerson, Fordham, and Marymount Manhattan. My mind just keeps bouncing back to the others and I've seen some of these names on this site so many times that I'm overthinking where will be the best place for me. (Boy, I just wish I could apply everywhere ;) haha)</p>

<p>(Academically, I'm in the top %5 of my class, got a 31 on my ACT, got a 4 on my A.P. United States History Exam and a 5 on my A.P. English Language and Composition Exam.)</p>

<p>Help! :)</p>

<p>Apply to where the action is for the purpose of internships, connections, and job opportunities, that should narrow down your list. If you like to be in the West Coast near Hollywood, Chapman and USC are excellent choices. If you like to be in the East Coast near NY, then apply to schools near NYC.</p>
