<p>Point Park has a good theatre program, but little else to diostinguish it. If the quality of the academic environment is of any concern to you - and given your stats, it clearly is - I think that you may be underchallenged and disappointed there.</p>
<p>Be aware that at CMU you would take one math class, one English class, and one one-hour computer skills seminar, and the rest would be theatre. You would not really get a higher education; you’d get pre-professional theatre training. At Northwestern, you’d be pursuing a BA degree in a School of Communications with Ivy-caliber students and faculty. Unless you’re ready to commit yourself at this point to no other future besides professional theatre and don’t want to personal impact of a full college education, I’d think that NWern would be a great choice. If you’re uninterested in any future options besides theatre tech, it’d be CMU or any other conservatory MFA program.</p>
