<p>Hello everyone, </p>
<p>I know there have been many messages and questions on drama schools in New York, but for my case I am still not totally clear and ANY opinion would be appreciated!</p>
<p>First a bit about me: I studied a non-performing arts related discipline in London. But before and during my studies I have taken part in a lot of part- and summer- acting courses and amateur film and stage projects.
Now that I am about to graduate from my BA, I am planning to go to New York and get full-time acting training.
I have been looking at numerous schools and asked around a lot. But it`s so tough to make up your mind from abroad.
Since I have a BA, I am not seeking a 4-year BFA course (also I would be 27! by the time I graduate...). I have been looking at 3-year MFA and Conservatory programs.
So far I auditioned for NY Conservatory (SFT) and got in...but I`ve heard many do...
I have sent out applications to NYU, Columbia, Pace and New School. So far I have an audition scheduled for NYU and am still waiting for responses from the others. Obviously Columbia is a great place but are there any opinions on the other two?</p>
<p>Also, I was considering:</p>
<p>Stella Adler Studio of Acting
Atlantic Theater Company
Circle in the Square
Lee Strasberg Institute
Neighborhood Playhouse
William Esper Studio
American Academy of Dramatic Arts
AMDA</p>
<p>Any opinions on those schools? Or can anybody think of a good additional university in New York that offers and MFA?</p>
<p>Thanks for reading so far and I would be so grateful to hear from you guys!</p>
