I’m not sure if these questions can be answered but if they can (any of them) please share. Thank you!
- on average how many students apply for a BFA audition program?
- guesstimate that I can see based on a thread in this forum is there are about 600 spots svailable (in all) for the program’s listed.
- do most of what I am understanding to be the “top” tier programs make offers to the same students? (Top tier in my understanding are: CCM, CMU, UMich, Penn State, Univ of Oklahoma, Texas State, Otterbein, Pace). If so, how can these small programs fill each year when, what it looks like to me, is only about 3-5 wait list kids?
- Do these, or any, program have people hired to talk to the programs directly about students? It is my understanding that the college audition coach prepares the student for auditions but does not “act as a scout” for them and actually “peddle” them to certain schools. Is that true or do they?
- are the performing arts high schools better connected with these programs than public schools are? Do performing arts schools actively seek out programs (talking to college program directors) and get individual face time with these programs?
- now that the majority of auditions are over and rejections come in…what do you suggest can be done from schools thst haven’t been heard from yet?
Thanks, just trying to make some sort of sense of it all.
