I have recently have been admitted to JMU academically and was wondering if it’s still possible to audition for the theatre program? Also, what is their acceptance rate for the theatre program? Thank you for any input!
all the info is on their website about auditions but you missed them for this year, there were 4-5 days to audition
We have completed all of the audition days for The School of Theatre & Dance for the fall of 2016, and we are in the process of sending out admissions decisions to those who auditioned and were admitted academically. The admit rate for the Theatre program varies, but is approximately 35%. The admit rate for Musical Theatre is approximately 10 - 12%.
Sometimes we can make exceptions to see students outside of the regular audition times, but usually this is before we have made offers to RD freshman applicants. At this point, we would have to see what the yield is for the Theatre program before we would be able to make any offers to students who did not audition at one of the four available audition dates in November through February for prospective freshman who will start in the fall.
We do have auditions for current JMU students and spring admit transfer students from other schools in October or November each year.
Please feel free to PM me or email me if you have any questions.
