decision time...USC-BA, UMich-BFA or Tisch

Help. Please post pros and cons. Haven’t heard about studio selection for tisch yet. He is interested in drama, not MT. He is visiting all three.

USC is my D’s dream school. Was your son able to apply to both the BA and BFA programs? We went to an information session there in August and I could swear the woman said you couldn’t apply to both. If it’s true then I don’t know what my D will decide. Would you mind telling me what his stats are? I just can’t imagine she will get into the BA program with her grades…which are very good but not near their standard. Any insight would be appreciated.

He applied (he is probably sorry he did) to the BA drama for USC-they can’t switch into BFA. He had sats of low 700s in Writing and Verbal, 580 math. Good luck! He visited and loved it but loves them all! He gets mostly As, took two APs last year.

@bradycat1 I’m still unclear. I know once you’re in a BA or BFA you can’t switch into the other but can you apply to both?

No-they ask during the audition which they would prefer. They do not apply to both.

interesting…they told us at the info session that the BA does not require an audition only a phone interview. I guess I will call there and clarify at some point.
